when with the coldnesse of the winter that went before their Vines were killed I conceive with humble submission to the judgement of the Church that rather then we of England should generally want the Sacrament untill new Vines had brought forth new increase wee might well receive the Sacrament in some of the better sort of our usuall drinks but not in water onely though that were mingled in the sacred Cup at the consecration as g Neque aliud fiat a nobis quam quod pro nobis dominus prior feceret ut calix qui in illius commemorationem offertur mixtus vino offeratur Cypr. Epist 63. pag. 85. col 1. aqua p. 86. col 1. Cyprian confidently affirmeth and h Probabiliter creditur quod dominus Sacramentum hoc instituerit in vino aqua permisto Aquin. part 3.

St. Cyprian sheweth the drinke of the Sacrament must be a drinke of some vigour as able as water is not to inebriate though not in so small a quantitie as is commonly taken by every single receiver Secondly our Saviour consecrated the Sacrament not simply in wine as it was wine but in wine and water as the usuall drink of that Country as Beere or Ale is with us as k Dominus Sacramentum hoc instituebat in vino aqua permista secundum morem istius terrae Aquin. part 3. Q. 74. Art 6. Corp. Artic. Aquinas conceiveth and no man contradicteth him in it nor doe I know any reason why any one should doe so And upon these reasons it might if the Church gave way unto it be warantable enough rather to make a supply where there is an unexpected fayling of wine at a great Communion with some other liquor analogicall to it then to send many away with halfe the Sacrament If it be said that in case of want of wine Object to take common drinke would bring the Sacrament down to a common and contemptible conceit as by dealing the Sacramentall bread out of a common Basket some people tooke a loathing of the communion as was objected against the Vicar of Ratsdale in the l Conference at Hampton Court p. 95. Answ conference at Hampton Court It may be answered first that no such ill effect hath been observed in the places where wine is by custome the common drinke of the Countrey as in Judea France c. Secondly That the Sacrament of Baptisme Answ 2 is received in a more ordinary and common element by farre for what is more common then water whereof every beast may drinke and wherein he may set his foot and yet is Baptisme generally received as an holy and honorable ordinance Thirdly Answ 3 for that scandall at distribution of the bread of the Sacrament out of a basket I say It consisted chiefly in this that the Minister m Ibid. suffered as in the Conference is said each man to put his hand into the basket and to take his own part of the bread In that being but a private Minister he made an Innovation for the worse and withall a kinde of schisme from other Churches But if there had been Authoritie for carrying the bread in such a basket it had been no prejudice to the dignitie of the Sacrament nor to his discretion that so used it nor had such scandall ensued upon it Saint Hierome highly commendeth m Sanctus Exuperius Tholosae Episcopus viduae saraptensis imitator Esuriens pascit alios ore pallente Jejunijs fame torquetur aliorum omnemque Substantiam Christi pauperibus erogavit nihil illo ditius qui corpus domini Canistro vimineo sanguinem portat in vitro Hieron ad Rustic Monach. de vivendi fama tom 1 pag. 49. prope finem Epist pag.
