But touching the force of this Article, Cyrillus speaketh not one Word, neither of Corporal presence, nor of Forms, nor of Accidents, nor of Crumbs, nor of Quantities, nor of Qualities, nor of Putrefaction, or Corruption, nor of the coming of Christs Body, nor of the Abode, or Departure of the same, nor of any other the like M. Hardinges Mysteries. Therefore this holy Father neither reproveth our Doctrine, nor chargeth us, as M. Harding imagineth, with any madness. But if he were now alive, he would account him mad, and twice mad, that would so madly ra•ke his words to so vain a purpose.

Concerning the Reservation of the Sacrament, that Cyrillus speaketh of, the matter stood thus. Sometimes after that the people had received the Holy Mysteries, it happened, that there remained some portions untouched. These portions so remaining the godly Fathers, that then were, thought it not meet, to turn to any profane use: but rather Reserved them until the next day, to be received of the people in the Holy Communion. For as yet there was no Private Mass known in the whole Church of God, throughout the world.
