When they have the Sacrament in their Belly, they think that all is well, as Micah, when he had a Levite in his House thought that God loved him: but as the Levite did not prof•• him, because he received nothing but the Levite, so the Brea• 1and Wine do them no good, because they receive nothing b•• Bread and Wine for want of Faith. Marvel not then if yo• have not felt that comfort after the Sacrament, which yo• looked for, for it is comfortable to none but to them which prepare their Hearts and examine themselves before, because is not the Mouth but the Heart which receiveth comfort.
