Is it divided so also in the Masse A. In the manner of doing or signifying it is but not by any reall separation or division of the one from the other Q. How explaine you that A. Because the species of Bread as also the words by which it is consecrated signifie and represent as if the Body of Christ only were contained under it whereas there is indeed whole Christ and the species of Wine as likewise the words by which it is consecrated signifie and represent as if there only were the Blood of Christ although there be both Body and Blood whole Christ Q. Did the Laity ever communicate under both kindes A. They did sometimes in the Primitive Church and may again if Holy Church shall so appoint it but it is now prohibited by the Church to prevent the great danger of shedding the Cup neither are the Laity in this defrauded of any thing For they receive whole Christ under one kind which is incomparably morethen the pretended Reformers have under both who receive onely a bit of Bakers bread with a poor sup of common Vintners Wine Penance Expounded Q.
