[8] “History of the Church of England,” § 744.[10] There was a passage, for example, quoted in the Guardian of December 6th, 1882, in which Gardiner is reported to have said: “Willeth children to be taught that they receive with their bodily mouth the body and blood of Christ, which I allege, because it will appear it is a teaching set forth among us of late, as hath been also and is by the Book of Common Prayer, being the most true Catholic doctrine of the substance of the sacrament in that is there so Catholicity spoken of.” I do not say that Gardiner was right in this statement, but I do say that if there was anything to justify his assertion, it was most desirable that as soon as possible it should be removed.[11] Guardian, Oct. 11. I observe that the words “As regards the Communion Office” have been added in the authorised report.
