Perhaps he will say, It is no Catholic Form of speech, to say, Christ lieth in the Sacrament. And yet I see no great reason, but it may stand as well with the Catholic Doctrine, to say, Christ lieth in the Sacrament, as, Christ sitteth in the Sacrament. Yet Johannes a S. Andrea, a great Doctor, and a special Patron of that side, is well allowed to write thus, and that without any manner controlment, or suspicion of scoff: Id temporis contentio nulla erat, 1utrùm Corpus Christi insideret Eucharistiae: At that time there was no strife, whether Christs Body were Sitting in, or upon the Sacrament, or no. Thus was it lawful for him to write: and his writings are taken for good, and Catholic.

But M. Harding saith, Christs Body is in the Sacrament, without Circumscription, or Respect of place, Strangely, Wondrously, and Singularly, and by the might of God's Omnipotent power: and the manner of his Being there is known only unto God. These be fair, and orient, and beautiful colours, but altogether without ground: and, to use the terms of M. Hardinges Religion, they are nothing else, but Accidents, and Shows without a Subject.
