O M. Harding, your conscience knoweth, and will testify against your self, that we never called the Holy Sacrament of Christs Body, Bakers Bread, no more then we call the Sacrament of Baptism, a pail of Water. We have always spoken honourably, and reverently hereof, as it was meat we should speak of the Mysteries of the Death of Christ, and as the Holy Catholic Fathers have evermore used to speak before us.
O M. Hardinge, your conscience knoweth, and wil testifie against your selfe, that wee neuer called the Holy Sacramente of Christes Body, Bakers Breade, nomore then wee cal the Sacramente of Baptisme, a paile of VVater. Wee haue alwaies spoken honourably, and reuerently hereof, as it was meate wee shoulde speake of the Mysteries of the Deathe of Christe, and as the Holy Catholique Fathers haue euermore vsed to speake before vs.
These wild, and wanton, & unseemly speeches agree rather with your Doctrine. For, call your own words a little to remembrance. In your First Answer,1 ye call the Holy Sacrament, as it is used, and Ministered by us, according to the Order of the Holy Fathers, A piece of Bread not worth a point: In this place ye call the Holy Ministration so used by us, A lean, and a Carrion Banquet: In the next division, ye cat it A Toy. These be your words, M. Harding, and may well stand, both with the Sobriety of your Sprite, and also with the whole Substance, and tenure of your Religion.
These wilde, and wanton, & vnseemely speaches agree rather with your Doctrine. For, cal your owne woordes alitle to remembrance. In your Firste Answeare,
