Now saith M. Harding, Soter's decree is not that these two should Communicate with the Priest, but only requireth their presence: Ergo, It is likely the Priest received alone: which is an argument much used among our adversaries. But what if these two will not come, neither to Communicate, nor to be present at all? Verily by M. Harding•s mind the Priest• devotion ought not to stay for want of company. For these be his very words a little before: well, none cometh: This is not a sufficient cause, why the faithful and godly Priest inflamed with the love of God, 1feeling him self hungry and thirsty after the heavenly food and drink, should be kept from it, &c. This is a cause sufficient, saith Soter: it is no sufficient cause saith M. Harding. The judgement hereof I refer unto the Reader.
