First of all, Thomas of Aquine saith thus:1 Quidam dixerunt, quòd cùm primùm Sacramentum sumitur à Mure, vel à Cane, desinit ibi esse Corpus, & Sanguis Christi: Sed hoc derogat veritati huius Sacramenti: Some have said, that, as soon as the Sacrament is touched of a Mouse, or a Dog, the Body, and Blood of Christ straightway ⟨p. 625⟩departeth from it. But this is a derogation to the trueth of this Sacrament. By these words, M. Hardinges judgement is utterly condemned, as uttered against the trueth, and in the derogation of this Sacrament.

M. Harding may not well call in question, whether this Doctor were Catholic, or no. For Christ said unto him by a vision in his dream, Benè scripsisti de me Thoma: O Thomas, thou hast written full well of m•e. And therefore he is called, Doctor Angelicus, an Angelical Doctor, for that in learning, and judgement he so far surmounted all other Doctors, and was accounted most Catholic.
