Winchester.

Fourthly an other certaine marke is, where the old authors write of the adoration [ 1] of this Sacrament, which can not be but to the thynges godly, really present. And ther∣fore Saint Augustine writyng in his booke De Catechisandis rudibus, how the inuisible thynges be honoured in this Sacrament, meanyng the body and bloud of Christ, and in the 98. Psalme speaketh of adoration. Theodoretus also speakyng specially of adoration of this Sacrament. These authors by this marke that is most certaine, take away all such ambiguitie as men might by suspicious diuination gather sometyme of their seue∣rall wordes, and declare by this marke of adoration playnly their fayth to haue bene, and also their doctrine vnderstanded as they ment of the reall presence of Christes very body and bloud in the Sacrament, and Christ him selfe God and mā to be there present, to whose diuine nature, and the humanitie vnite thereunto, adoration may onely be di∣rected of vs. And so to conclude vp this matter, for as much as one of these foure markes and notes maybe founde testified and apparaunt in the auncient writers, with other wordes and sentences conformable to the same, this should suffice to exclude all argu∣mentes of any by sentences and ambiguous speaches, and to vphold the certaintie of the true Catholicke fayth in déede, which this author by a wrong name of the Catholicke fayth impugneth, to the great slaunder of the truth, and his owne reproch.
