As for these two Fathers, Gelasius, and Theodoretus, notwithstanding M. Harding would seem to make small account of them, for that they be, as he saith, but only two, yet he rather catcheth hold in some dark, or doubtful word by them uttered, then he would seem utterly to give them over. Gelasius saith, The Sacraments pass over into a Divine Substance: If he had said, They pass over into a Divine Accident, it would somewhat better have shadowed these mens purpose. But other Divine Substance M. Harding can imagine none, saving ⟨p. 251⟩only Christs Body Substantially, and Really contained under the Forms of Bread and Wine. And this fantasy, notwithstanding Gelasius never knew it, must needs be allowed against, all, that Gelasius him self can say to the contrary.
As for these two Fathers, Gelasius, and Theodoretus, notwithstandinge M. Hardinge would saeme to make smal accoumpte of them, for that they be, as he saithe, but onely twoo, yet he rather catcheth holde in somme darke, or doubteful woorde by them vttered, then he woulde séeme vtterly to geue them ouer. Gelasius saithe, The Sacramentes passe ouer into a Diuine Substance: If he had saide, They passe ouer into a Diuine Accidente, it woulde somewhat better haue shadowed these mennes purpose. But other Diuine Substance M. Hardinge can imagine none, sauinge ⟨p. 251⟩onely Christes Body Substantially, and Really conteined vnder the Fourmes of Breade and Wine. And this fantaste, notwithstandinge Gelasius neuer knewe it, muste néedes be allowed againste, al, that Gelasius him selfe can saie to the contrarie.
