What Origen thought of the Words of Christ in the sixth Chapter of S. John, 1it is easy to conjecture, by that he hath written otherwheres. Upon the Leviticus he writeth thus, Est & in Evangelio Litera, quae occidit: Si enim secundum Literam sequaris illud, quod dictum est, Nisi Comederitis Carnem Filij Hominis &c, ea Litera occidit: Even in the Gospel there is a Letter, that killeth: For where as Christ saith, Onlesse ye eat the Flesh of the Son of Man &c, if ye take the same according to the Letter, that Letter killeth.

Harding, can ye pike out of these words? What Transubstantiation? What Real Presence? What Accidents without Subject? Ye will say, Origen calleth the Sacrament Christs Body. So doth Christ him self: so doth Paul: so do all the Ancient Fathers: because it is the sacrament of Christs Body. Your own Gloss saith,
