Touching the other foul fault, M. Harding saith, his Accidents, and Qualities be things Material: but the Matter it self, he saith, they be not. But where learned he this strange Doctrine? What Divine, what Philosopher, what Logician, what Sophister, what wise man ever taught him thus to say? Certainly Accidents, and Qualities be Accidentals Formae, and in the Schools are called things Formal: which are as far from things Material, as Fire from Water. Notwithstanding, these men have power to make of Accidents, Substance: Of Forms, Matters: Of things Formal, things Material: and of one contrary, to make another: all this only of them selves, without any manner other Authority.
Touchinge the other fowle faulte, M. Hardinge saithe, his Accidentes, and Qualities be thinges Material: but the Mater it selfe, he saithe, they be not. But where learned he this strange Doctrine? What Diuine, what Philosopher, what Logician, what Sophister, what wise man euer taught him thus to saie? Certainely Accidentes, and Qualities be Accidentales Formae, and in the Scholes are called thinges Formal: whiche are as farre from thinges Material, as Fire from Water. Notwithstanding, these menne haue power to make of Accidentes, Substance: Of Fourmes, Maters: Of thinges Formal, thinges Material: and of one contrarie, to make another: al this onely of them selues, without any manner other Authoritie.
M. Harding saith, that the Meat, whereof Origen speaketh, is a Material, (for this is the Light, and clearness of his Eloquence) but not Materia: and by this pretty distinction he thinketh, the whole matter is fully discharged. And amongst the ignorant, that cannot judge, perhaps he may seem to say somewhat. But Origen him self, that best understood his own meaning, calleth the same Meat, in the same place, by express, and plain words, not only a thing Material, but also the very Matter of Bread it self: His words be these: Nec Materia Panis, 1sed super illum dictus sermo est, qui prodest non indignè Domino comedenti: It is not the Matter of the Bread, but the word spoken over it, that profiteth him, that Eateth not unworthily for the Lord. Now Judge thou indifferently. Gentle Reader, how just causes M. Harding had, to move these Tragedies.
