Athanasius saith of the Arian Heretics,1 Incorporalia Corporaliter excipientes, quae probè dicta erant, interpretationibus depravaverunt: Taking Spiritual things in a Corporal, or Fleshly meaning (as doth M. Harding, and other his fellows) by their interpretations they have depraved the things, that were rightly spoken. S. Ambrose saith of the Breads, and the Wine, Sunt, quae erant, & in aliud mutantur: They remain the same, that they were, and are changed into an other thing. Now is the field won: M. Harding bloweth a Maigne Triumph. Here, saith he, Sir Defender, Construe me these Words, Soothly, good Reader, I distrust not greatly, but this poor Defender might easily Construe these Words, were he never so simple a clerk. The Natural Creatures of the Bread, and Wine in the Supper of our Lord (saith S. Ambrose) remain still in Substance, as they were before: yet are they changed into an other thing, that is to say, they are made the Sacrament of the Body, and Blood of Christ: which before they were not.

Hardinge bloweth a Maigne Triumphe. Here, saithe he, Sir Defender, Construe me these VVoordes, Soothely, good Reader, I distruste not greately, but this poore Defender might easily Construe these VVordes, were he neuer so simple a clerke. The Natural Creatures of the Breade, and Wine in the Supper of our Lord (saith S. Ambrose) remaine stil in Substance, as they were before: yet are they changed into an other thinge, that is to saie, they are made the Sacramente of the Body, and Bloude of Christe: whiche before they were not.
