Mary God forbid, saith M. Harding. So coy, and careful he is, for his holy Forms, and his kingdom of Accidents. He saith, The whole Substance of the Bread is clean abolished, not one part thereof remaining: yet may it not be turned into nothing. And, as if the matter were well worth somewhat, be assureth the same sadly with a great detestation, God forbid. Hereof something might be said, if it were any thing worth the hearing. But, good Reader, thou shalt lose nothing by the silence: For, I assure thee, verily it is worth nothing.
Mary God forebid, saithe M. Hardinge. So coye, and careful he is, for his holy Fourmes, and his kingedome of Accidentes.

And, as if the mater were wel woorthe somewhat, be assureth the same sadly with a greate detestation, God forebid. Hereof somethinge might be saide, if it were any thinge woorthe the hearinge.

Yet M. Harding first giveth us his courteous menti: and afterward, in his familiar manner, chargeth us by plain terms with a lie: and suddenly crieth out, as he saith, beyond the modesty of his natural disposition, What is Juggling: what is Lying: what is Falsehood: what is Falsifying: what is wickedness of Falsaries, if this be not? I might say: O Sirs, Hold the man. Good Christian Reader, in all these Whats, thou wilt happily think, there should be somewhat. Now be it, in deed it is but a pang of M. Hardinges Rhetoric: lest thou shouldest think, that having spent so many waste words, in the end he had said nothing.

I might saie: O Sirs, Holde the man. Good Christian Reader, in al these Whattes, thou wilte happily thinke, there should be somewhat. Now be it, in déede it is but a pangue of M.
