Thus, M. Harding, we are joined together, and temp•ared with Christ, not only by the Holy Mysteries, but also by the Sacrament of Baptism, & by Faith. And Chrysostom saith,1 Ne simpliciter teneamus Christum, sed etiam illi conglutinemur. Nam si quicquam secesserimus ab eo, Perimus: Let us not only hold Christ, but also let us be fast glued unto him. For if we fall any thing from him, we are utterly lost. Must we therefore conclude, M. Harding, that the Water of Baptism is Transubstantiate, no part of the Substance thereof remaining still: or that Christs Body is Really, and grossly Present in that Sacrament, as you have imagined of the other?

Of the Latin Congruity, I will say nothing. The Learned think, that Oecolampadius was as skilful both in the Latin tongue, and in the Greek, as M. Harding. But for the forging of, Quodammodò, why do you not as well find fault with Theophylacte him self? For if it be a forgery, he him self hath likewise forged the same, Quodammodò: and if that may be called Corruption, he hath also corrupted his own Doctrine. These be his words:
