How could Origen say, 1sanguis Tesamenti infusus est in Corda nostra? The Blood of the Testament is poured into our hearts. Howe could S. Cyprian saie, Esus huius Carnis est quaedam aviditas, & quoddam defiderium manendi in Christo? Quod est esca Carni, hoc est Animae Fides. Non dentes ad mordendum acuimus: sed Fide sincera Panem Sanctum frangimus: The Eating of this Flesh is a certain greediness, and a certain desire to tarry in Christ. That meat is unto our Flesh, the same is Faith unto our Souls. We sharpen not out teeth to bite withal: But with pure Faith we break this Holy Bread. To be short, how could S. Augustine say, 2Credere in Christum, hoc est manducare Panem Vivum? To Believe in Christ, that is the Eating of the Bread of Life. And again, Nolite parare fauces, sed Cor: Prepare not your mouths (to Eat of this Bread, but) prepare your Hearts. To these & other like Ancient Catholic Fathers M. Harding should have said, How can ye make good, that by Faith we receive Christs Body, and Blood? Thus they witness: thus they write: thus they say: and therefore, onlesse M. Harding can find untruth in their words, they make it good.
How coulde Origen saie, 1sanguis Tesamenti infusus est in Corda nostra? The Bloude of the Testamente is povvred into our hartes. Howe coulde S. Cyprian saie, Esus huius Carnis est quaedam auiditas, & quoddam defiderium manendi in Christo? Quod est esca Carni, hoc est Animae Fides. Non dentes ad mordendum acuimus: sed Fide sincera Panem Sanctum frangimus: The Eatinge of this Fleashe is a certaine greedinesse, and a certaine desire to tarrie in Christe. That meate is vnto our Fleashe, the same is Faithe vnto our Soules. Wee sharpen not out teeth to bite withal: But vvith pure Faithe vvee breake this Holy Breade. To be shorte, howe could S. Augustine saie, 2Credere in Christum, hoc est manducare Panem Viuum? To Beleeue in Christe, that is the Eatinge of the Breade of Life. And againe, Nolite parare fauces, sed Cor: Prepare not your mouthes (to Eate of this Breade, but) prepare your Hartes. To these & other like Ancient Catholique Fathers M. Hardinge should haue saide, How can ye make good, that by Faithe we receiue Christes Body, and Bloude? Thus they witnesse: thus they write: thus they saie: and therefore, onlesse M. Hardinge can finde vntruthe in theire woordes, they make it good.
