Where oftentimes we find it recorded of the Fathers, that Christian people in time of persecution received of the Priests at Church in fine linen clothes the Sacrament in sundry portions, to bear with them, and to receive it secretly in the morning before other meat, as their devotion served them: for the same cause, and in respect of other circumstances, it must of necessity be taken only, for the kind or form of Bread.
