Euthymius, although one of the meanest Doctors, saith right well, and as the Learned Fathers said before him. But, M. Harding, do you take your Authors at all adventures, as they come to hand: or do you consider, what they saie• Tell us. I beseech you in your fantasy, what are those things y• Euthymius saith, are set before us? Whether are they the Body, and Blood of Christ, or clarour Accidents? If it be Christs very Body and Blood substantially, Really, & in deed, Why should we not consider the Nature of them? what have they offended you?1 Or what imperfection find you in them? Cyrillus saithe, Caro Christi Natura vivifica est: The Fleashe of Christ by Nature hath power to give ⟨p. 254⟩Life. 2And Christ him self saith, My Flesh is Verily Meat: and My Blood is Verily Drink. Therefore the Nature hereof is well worthy to be considered. But if there be nothing there set forth, but only your bare, and naked Accidents, What Power, What Virtue is there in them? What Doctor, or Father ever taught us, that we should have Remission of Sin, and be saved by your Accidents?
Euthymius, although one of the meanest Doctours, saithe right wel, and as the Learned Fathers saide before him. But, M. Hardinge, doo you take your Authours at al aduentures, as they comme to hande: or doo you consider, what they saie• Tel vs. I beseech you in your fantasie, what are those thingꝭ y• Euthymius saithe, are set before vs? Whether are they the Body, and Bloude of Christe, or clarour Accidentes? If it be Christes very Body and Bloude substantially, Really, & in deede, VVhy shoulde vvee not consider the Nature of them? what haue they offended you?
