But, to leave these unfruitful guesses, until M. Harding have better agreed with him self upon some certainty, we say, that the Cup of Blessing, which Christ calleth the Cup of the New Testament, not withstanding it were made in a Mystery the Sacrament of Christs Blonde▪ yet in Nature, and Substance was very Wine still, and, as Christ him self ••lleth it, the very Fruit, and generation of the Grape, as it was before.
But, to leaue these vnfruiteful gheasses, vntil M. Hardinge haue better agreed with him selfe vpon somme certainetie, wee saie, that the Cuppe of Blessinge, whiche Christe calleth the Cuppe of the Newe Testamente, not withstandinge it were made in a Mysterie the Sacramente of Christes Blonde▪ yet in Nature, and Substance was very Wine stil, and, as Christe him selfe ••lleth it, the very Fruite, and generation of the Grape, as it was before.
The words of the Evangelist S. 1Matthew are very pl••ne: He took the Cup: and, when he had given thanks, he gave it them, saying, Drink ye all of it: For this is my •loude of the New Testament, that is shed for many▪ for the Remission of Sins. I say unto you, that I will not Drink hencef•ourthe of this Fruit of the Vine, until that day, when I shall Drink it New with you in the Kingdom of my Father. To avoid the manifest truth of this rehearsal, M. Harding saith, S. Matthew uttered one thing for an other: the Later for the Former: the Cup Consecrate, for the Cup Unconsecrate: and placed his matters out of order. And by this poor shift, he thinketh the Story of the Gospel is fully answered.
