How be it, contrary to M. Hardinges evasion, other Doctors of his own form, Antoninus,1 Gabriel, and others seem to publish the same, as a General Doctrine, Common, not only to the Schools, but also to the whole Church, and no more touching the Priest, then the simplest of the People.

And verily, if the Sacrament be God in deed, and that, not a God for ever, but only to last for a season, which is the purport of M. Hardinges Doctrine, why should not all the People understand, when it beginneth to be God: how long it continueth God: when it is God: when it is no God: &, how long they may Adore it without danger: &, when they may safely leave of, & Adore no more? For during the time it is God, who so Adoreth it not is wicked, & godless: and, who so Adoreth it, when it is no God, committeth Idolatry, and Adoreth a Creature in stead of God. Therefore the certainty hereof, notwithstanding M. Hardinges contrary judgement, seemeth as necessary for the People, as for the Priest.
And verily, yf the Sacramente be God in deede, and that, not a God for euer, but onely to last for a season, whiche is the purporte of M. Hardinges Doctrine, why shoulde not al ye People vnderstande, when it beginneth to be God: how longe it contineweth God: when it is God: when it is no God: &, how longe they maie Adoure it without danger: &, when they maie safely leaue of, & Adoure nomore? For duringe the time it is God, who so Adoureth it not is wicked, & godlesse: and, who so Adoureth it, when it is no God, committeth Idolatrie, and Adoureth a Creature in steede of God. Therefore the certainetie hereof, notwithstandinge M. Hardinges contrary iudgemente, seemeth as necessary for the People, as for the Prieste.
