But let us see, what the Learned Fathers have judged, and written in this behalf. So shall the weight of these conjectural guesses, and the Face of M. Hardinges Truth, which he so much magnifieth without cause, the better appear. 1Clemens Alexandrinus hereof writeth thus, Quòd Vinum esset, quod benedictū est, Christus ostendit, dicens Discipulis, Non bibam ex Fructu Vitis huius, donec bibe•o ipsum vobiscum in Regno Patris mei: That it was Wine, that was Blessed (at the Supper) Christ him self showed his Disciples, saying: I vvil no more Drink of the Fruit of this Vine, until I shall Drink it with you in the Kingdom of my Father. What so ever it shall Please M. Harding to think of the sense hereof, he must needs confess, the words are very plain. Likewise. saith S. Cyprian, Dominus Sanguinem suum Vinum appellavit, de botris, & acinis plurimis expressum, atque in Vinum coactum:2 The Wine pressed our of Clusters, and many Grapes, and so made Wine, Our Lord called his Blood. S. Augustine saithe, Et Vinum fuit in Redemptionis nostrae Mysterio, cùm Dominus diceret,3 Non bibam àmodo de hoc genimine Vitis: There was Wine in the Mystery, or sacrament of Our Redemption, when Our Lord said, I vvil no more Drink henceforth of this Fruit of the Vine. Here note thou, good Reader, how handsomely S. Augustine, and M. Harding agree together. S. Augustine saith plainly, it was the Sacrament: ⟨p. 264⟩M. Harding saith plainly, it was not the Sacrament. S. Augustine saith, These words were spoken after the Consecration: M. Harding findeth fault with S. Mathews order, and saith, They were spoken before the Consecration. S. Augustine following the plain words of Christ, saith, It was Wine: M. Harding following his own words, against both S. Augustine, and Christ too, saith undoubtedly, It was no Wine.
But let vs see, what the Learned Fathers haue iudged, and written in this behalfe. So shal the weight of these coniectural gheasses, and the Face of M. Hardinges Truthe, whiche he so mutche magnifieth without cause, the better appeare. 1
