M. Hardinge. The .3. Diuision.
Nowe that this custome, or Mystical Ceremonie, was not first ordeined by Sergius, for ought that
can be gathered, but of him expounded onely touchinge the Mysterie of it, as vsed before his time,
from the beginninge of the Churche, no one Auncient Councel, or Authour founde, vpon whom it may
be Fathered, of good reason, sithe it hath (184)* 1.1 generally beene obserued, we may referre the Institution
of it to the Apostles: and that accordinge to the minde of S. Augustine, whose notable saiynge for that
behalfe is this. Quod Vniuersa tenet Ecclesia, nec in Concilijs constitutum, sed semper re∣tentum
est, non nisi authoritate Apostolica traditum, rectissimè creditur. VVhat, saithe he,
the Vniuersal Churche keepeth, neither hath beene ordeined in Councelles, but hath alwaies beene
obserued: of good right we beleeue, it hath beene deliuered (to the Churche) as a Tradition, by the
auctoritie of the Apostles.
To conclude, if any sparke of Godlinesse remaine in our deceiued Countriemen, and brethern,
they will not scorne, and dispise this Auncient Ceremonie of Diuidinge the Sacrament in three par∣tes
at the Blessed Sacrifice of the Masse, whereof any occasion of euil is not onely no ministred, but
rather contrarywise, whereby we are admonished, and stirred to tender our owne Soule healthe,
and to render thankes to God, for the greate benefite of our Redemption.
