But Thomas of Aquine, leaveth the matter a little more at large▪ He saith. Ista conditio non semper actu requiritur: satis est habere habitū. That is to say: It shall not be needful at every time, to say or to think thus, whensoever ye kneel down to worship: but it shall be sufficient if ye have a certain readiness, in your mind to say or to think so. Yet Holcot, writing likewise upon the master of the sentences, ⟨p. 146⟩saith thus: Laicus adorat hostiam non consecratam: ista fides sufficit illi ad saluationem: tamē est erronea. The lay man, saith he, as it may sometimes happen, worshippeth a wafer y• is not consecrate. This faith is sufficient unto him to his salvation, and yet is it a false faith, and erroneous. And farther he concludeth in this sort. Homo potest mereri per fidē erroneam, etiansi contingat, ut adoret diabolū. By these words, we may see, such as will not content, them selves to be ordered by Gods wisdom, how dangerously they run headlong at the last.
