The examples of keeping the holy Sacrament under the form of Bread only, to be in a readiness for the sick, and for others in time of danger, that they might have their necessary victual of life, or voyage provision with them at their departure hence, be in manner infinite. Here one, or two may serve in stead of a number. For though M. Ivel maketh his vaunt, that we have not one sentence, or clause, for proof of these articles, which he so defaceth with his negative: yet I will not accumulate this treatise with tedious allegation of authorities. S. Ambrose at the hour of death, received the Communion under one Kind, kept for that purpose, as it appeareth by this testimony of Paulinus, who wrote his life. And because it may be a good instruction to others to die well, I will here recite his words. At the same time as he departed from us to our Lord, from about the eleventh hour of the day, until the hour that he gave up the ghost, stretching abroad his hands in manner of a Cross, he prayed. We saw his lips move, but voice we heard none. Horatus a Priest of the Church of Vercels, being gone up to bed, heard a voice three times of one calling him, and saying to him, arise, and haste thee, for he vvil depart hence by and by. Who going down gave to the Saint our Lords Body: which taken, and swallowed down, he gave up the ghost, having with him a good voyage provision, so as the soul being the better refreshed by the virtue of that meat, may now rejoice with the company of Angels, whose life he lead in the earth, and with the fellowship of Elijah.
The examples of keepinge the holy Sacrament vnder the forme of Breade onely, to be in a redinesse for the sicke, and for others in time of daunger, that they might haue their necessarie vitaile of life, or viage prouision with them at their departure hence, be in manner infinite. Here one, or twoo may serue in steede of a number. For though M. Iuel maketh his vaunte, that wee haue not one sentence, or clause, for proufe of these articles, whiche he so defaceth with his negatiue: yet I wil not accumulate this treatise with tedious allegation of authorities. S. Ambrose at the houre of death, receiued the Communion vnder one Kinde, keapte for that purpose, as it appeareth by this testimonie of Paulinus, who wrote his life. And bicause it may be a good instruction to others to die wel, I wil here recite his woordes. At the same time as he departed from vs to our Lorde, from about the eleuenth hovver of the day, vntil the houre that he gaue vp the ghost, streatchinge abroade his handes in manner of a Crosse, he praied. VVee savve his lippes mooue, but voice vvee hearde none. Horatus a Priest of the Churche of Vercels, beinge gonne vp to bedde, hearde a voice three times of one calling him, and sayeing to him, arise, and haste thee, for he vvil departe hence by and by. VVho goinge downe gaue to the Saincte our Lordes Body: whiche taken, and swallowed downe, he gaue vp the ghost, hauinge with him a good viage prouision, so as the soule beinge the better refresshed by the vertue of that meate, may now reioyse with the companie of Angels, whose life he lead in the earthe, and with the felowship of Elias.
