His conjectures be these: Women received the Sacrament in a linen clothe: Tertullians wife received it at home before meats: S Cyprian saith, A woman kept it at home in a Chest: Ergo, The Sacrament was ministered in one Kind. These be cold guesses, & no prou•es. To say, They had the Bread, Ergo, They had not the wine, is a very faint reason, and hangeth only of ignorance, for that M. Harding knoweth not, in what order these ⟨p. 132⟩things were kept. But that women and others kept the Sacrament, & carried it about them, and that in Both Kinds, it is evident, and cannot be denied.
His coniectures be these: Wemen receiued the Sacrament in a linen clothe: Tertullians wife receiued it at home before meates: S Cyprian saith, A woman keapte it at home in a Cheaste: Ergo, The Sacrament was ministred in one Kinde. These be colde gheasses, & no prou•es. To say, They had the Breade, Ergo, They had not the wine, is a very fainte reason, and hangeth onely of ignorance, for that M. Hardinge knoweth not, in what order these ⟨p. 132⟩thinges were keapte. But that women and others keapte the Sacrament, & carried it about them, and that in Bothe Kindes, it is euident, and cannot be denied.
Gregory Nazianzene thus writeth of his sister Gorgonia,1 [Greek or Hebrew]. &c. If her hand had laid up any portion of the tokens of the precious Body, and of the Blood, mingling it with her tears &c. Here Nazianzene, contrary to M. Hardinges judgement, saith, she had laid up both parts. And what should I stand long, to heap examples? M. Hardinges own Amphilochius, 2of whom he seemeth to make so great account, among other his fables, whereof he hath good store, saith, That a certain Jew came and received among the Faithful, and privily carried part of either Kind home with him. How, or wherein, it is not written. Yet will it not follow: M. Harding cannot tell wherein the Jew carried home the wine: therefore Amphilochius tale is not true.
