fauoure the parson for whose sake it is prepared. Notwithstondynge yf a capons legge were reserued for one of hys enemyes and afterwarde geuen hym whā the banket were done, he myght laufullye eate it. For then it were but bare meate, suche as he eateth at home. And lykewyse the enemyes of Christe which beleue not that they haue remyssyō of synnes throughe hys bloode sheadynge, can not reioyse of hys bodye breakynge. And therfore can not make good chere amonge them, but yf any be reserued after the maundye, he maye laufullye eate it, for it is but breade. And hys louers that are there present do rather come thy der to geuehym hys welcome home then for the meate, ād they more eate hys welcome home, then the meate. But yf anye of hys enemyes fortune to be there, they eate onelye the meate, ād not hys welcome home. For they reioyse not at hys commynge home. Lykewyse the faythfull that are there present, do rather come thyther to reioyse in the fayth of hys bodye breakynge, then in breakynge or eatynge of the breade or meate. But yf anye of the vnfaythfull fortune to be there, they eate onelye the breade, and not hys bodye breakynge. For they reioyse not at hys bodye breakynge. Here peraduenture some wolde suppose that I were contrarye to my selfe. For before I sayde, that it was more thē meate that was eaten at the gentyles feastes, ād more thē meate that was eaten at my neyghbours welcome home, and more then breade that is eaten at the receyuynge of the sacrament of the bodye and bloode of Christe. And nowe I saye, that yf a mans enemye be there, he eateth onelye the meate and not the welcome home. And lykewyse the vnfaythfull eateth onelye breade and not the bodye and bloode of Christe. How maye these wordes stonde together? I answere, that they eate but onelye breade or meate that profyteth them, but in dede they eate more to their hynderaunce, and euen theyr owne dāpnacyon. For they that ded eate in the fellowshyppe of Gentyles, ded but onelye eate the meate to their profytte, but in eatynge their meate their facte ded opēlye testyfye, that they honoured that Idoll for their GOD (although their harte were other-wyse) wherin they comytted Idolatrye. [Sidenote: 1. Cor. 8.] And besydes that they wounded the conscyences of their weake bretherne, and so synned agaynste God.
