Ye find great fault with Oecolampadius, for corrupting, as ye say, the sound Doctrine of Theophylacte with his forged, Quodammodò, and for breaking the Congruity of the Latin speech, by putting the third Person, in place of the first. 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:1 Qui manducat me, hic vivet propter me, dum Quodammodò miscetur mihi, & transelementatur in me: He that cateth me, shall live by me: for as much as, after a sort, he is mingled with me, and transelemented, or changed into me. If ye doubt, whether, [Greek or Hebrew], in Greek, may be expounded by, Quodammodò, then is not your skill herein so great, as ye have thought.
Ye finde greate fanlte with Oecolampadius, for corruptinge, as ye saie, the sounde Doctrine of Theophylacte with his forged, Quodammodò, and for breakinge the Congruitie of the Latine speache, by puttinge the thirde Personne, in place of the firste. Of the Latine Congruitie, I wil saie nothinge. The Learned thinke, that Oecolampadius was as skilful bothe in the Latine tongue, and in the Gréeke, as M. Hardinge. But for the forginge of, Quodammodò, why doo you not as wel finde faulte with Theophylacte him selfe? For if it be a forgerie, he him selfe hath likewise forged the same, Quodammodò: and if that maie be called Corruption, he hath also corrupted his owne Doctrine. These be his woordes:1 Qui manducat me, hic viuet propter me, dum Quodammodò miscetur mihi, & transelementatur in me: He that cateth me, shal liue by me: for as mutche as, after a sorte, he is mingled with me, and transelemented, or changed into me. If yee doubte, whether, 〈non-Latin alphabet〉, in Gréeke, maie be expounded by, Quodammodò, then is not your skil herein so greate, as ye haue thought.
