Crede et manducasti, said Augustine, 'believe' or, rather, trust 'and thou hast eaten. Have you? Further, let me remind you that under this eating is included not only some initial act of faith, but a continuous course of partaking.

"Judge for yourself what manner of men they be," said Bertram indignantly, "when the King's Highness and the Queen, and our own Lady's Grace, and the Lady Princess that was, and the Duke of Lancaster, be of them. Ay, and many another could I name beyond these." "I will never crede any ill of our Lady's Grace!" said Maude warmly.
