Modern spelling is a reading aid: the words are the author’s, only the spelling is modernized. Original shows the page as printed, with the transcription marks.
Nevertheless, notwithstanding these words both of Theodoretus, and of Gelasius, (The Substance of Bread, and Wine, after the words of Consecration ⟨p. 253⟩remaineth still) be so plain,1 that no man without blushing may deny them, Yet hath M. Harding one good shift least in store. The Substance, saith be, sometimes is used for the Accident: even as discreetly, and to so good purpose, as if he had said, Fire is Water, or, Light is Darkness. And so by this Construction, Substance sometimes is no Substance. This is M. Hardinges own peculiar Divinity, without the witness of any of all the Learned Fathers, Greek, or Latin, one, or other. For, good Reader, thou mayest not think, that any man, either well advised, or learned, would say the like.
Neuerthelesse, notwithstandinge these woordes bothe of Theodoretus, and of Gelasius, (The Substance of Breade, and VVine, after the vvoordes of Consecration ⟨p. 253⟩remaineth stil) be so plaine,1 that noman without blusshinge maie denie them, Yet hathe M. Hardinge one good shifte leaste in stoare. The Substance, saith be, sommetimes is vsed for the Accidente: euen as discretely, and to so good pourpose, as if he had said, Fire is Water, or, Light is Darkenesse. And so by this Construction, Substance sommetimes is no Substance. This is M. Hardinges owne peculiare Diuinitie, without the witnesse of any of al the Learned Fathers, Gréeke, or Latine, one, or other. For, good Reader, thou maiste not thinke, that any man, either wel aduised, or learned, woulde saie the like.
