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.
Yet M. Hardinge firste geueth vs his courteous menti: and afterwarde, in his familiar manner, chargeth vs by plaine termes with a lie: and suddainely crieth out, as he saith, beyonde the modestie of his natural disposition, What is Iuggsinge: what is Lieinge: what is Falsehedde: what is Falsifieinge: what is wickednesse of Falsaries, if this be not? 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. Hardinges Rhetorique: leste thou shouldest thinke, that hauinge spente so many waste woordes, in the ende he had saide nothinge.
But, what is the matter, M. Harding? What moveth you, to make this piteous outcry? For soothe because we say, The Bread, and Wine remain the same, they were before. But these be S. Ambroses own words: they be not ours: we make them not: we change them not: but report them simply, as we find them. As they were written in Latin by the Author, these they are: (Panis, & Vinum) ⟨p. 249⟩sunt, quae erant, 1& in aliud mutantur: The Bread and Wine are the same, that they were: and are changed into an other thing. Therefore, it appeareth, all these Exclamations, of what is lugglinge? what is Lying? &c. pertain unto S. Ambrose the Author hereof, and not unto us.
