The B. of Sarisburie.
This place of S. Cyprian is often alleged by M. Hardinge, as mater inuincible: and to answeare it seuerally in euerie place it woulde be tedious. Wherefore I thought it good to referre thee, gentle reader, to the seconde Diuision of the tenth Article, and to the Fourth Diuision of the .21. Article, where it shalbe answeared more at large. Howe be it, thus muche we maie note by the waie, that S. Cyprian in this place speaketh not one woorde of the Adoration of the Sacrament. As for M. Hardinges gheasses, they importe no proofe. By the way, as S. Cyprian saith, The Diuine Essence, as M. Hardinge turneth it, infuseth it selfe into the Uisible Sacramente, so doeth Paulinus saie of the Water of Baptisme, Cōcipit vnda Deū, The Water conceiueth, or receiueth God.* 1.1 And S. Augustine speakinge likewise of Baptisme, Sacramento suo Diuina Virtus assistit. The diuine power of God is assistent vnto the Sacramente.
