But if it were so as M. Harding, and certain others of late days have grossly imagined, yet notwithstanding the people taking but one kind only, receiveth injury, as M. Harding may see by Alexander of Hales, and Durandus, and other of his own Doctors. Alexander's words be these, Licet illa sumptio, quae est in accipiendo sub una specie,1 sufficiat, tamen illa quae est sub duabus, est maioris meriti. Although that order of receiving the Sacrament, which is under one kind, be sufficient, yet the other which is under both kinds, is of greater merit. And immediately after: Sumptio sub utraque specie, quem modū sumendi tradidit Dominus, est ma•oris efficaciae, & maioris complementi. The receiving under both kinds, which order the Lord delivered, is of greater strength,2 and of greater fullness. And the same Alexander again saithe, Totus ⟨p. 99⟩Christus non continetur sub utraque specie Sacramentaliter: sed Caro tant•m sub specie Panis, & sanguis sub specie Vini. Whole Christ is not contained under each kind by way of Sacrament, but the flesh only under the form of Bread, and the Blood under the form of Wine. The like might be reported out of Durandus, and others. Here M. Hardinges own Doctors confess, that the people receiving under one kind, receiveth, not the full Sacrament, nor the Blood of Christ by way of Sacrament: and that their doing therein is of less strength & merit, then the doing of the Priest. Wherefore M. Harding in saying The people receiving only under one kind taketh no injury, doth the people double injury.
But if it were so as M. Harding, and certaine others of late daies haue grosly imagined, yet notwithstanding the people takinge but one kinde onely, receiueth iniurie, as M. Hardinge may sée by Alexander of Hales, and Durandus, and other of his owne Doctours. Alexanders woordes be these, Licet illa sumptio, quae est in accipiendo sub vna specie,1 sufficiat, tamen illa quae est sub duabus, est maioris meriti. Although that order of receiuinge the Sacrament, which is vnder one kinde, be sufficient, yet the other whiche is vnder bothe kindes, is of greater merite. And immediatly after: Sumptio sub vtraque specie, quem modū sumendi tradidit Dominus, est maoris efficaciae, & maioris complementi. The receiuing vnder bothe kindes, whiche order the Lorde deliuered, is of greater strength,
