Ye reply: 1Origen saith, When ye take the Body of our Lord, ye keep it with all wariness, and reverence, that no part thereof fall down. And again, When thou takest that Holy meat,2 then our Lord entereth under thy roof. Both these places in my Former Reply are fully answered. But what Catholic Doctrine, M. 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, 3as it hath been often alleged, Vocatur Corpus Christi, id est, Significat Corpus Christi: It is called the Body of Christ, that is to say, it Signifieth the Body of Christ. But the people, ye say, received it warily, and with reverence. So do they now, even in those Churches, that you most mislike withal.
Ye replie: 1Origen saithe, When ye take the Body of our Lorde, yee keepe it with al warinesse, and reuerence, that no parte thereof fal downe. And againe, When thou takest that Holy meate,2 then our Lorde entreth vnder thy roofe. Bothe these places in my Former Replie are fully answeared. But what Catholique Doctrine, M. Hardinge, can ye pike out of these woordes? What Transubstantiation? What Real Presence? What Accidentes vvithout Subiecte? Ye wil saie, Origen calleth the Sacramente Christes Body. So doothe Christe him selfe: so doothe Paule: so doo al the Anciente Fathers: bicause it is the sacramente of Christes Body. Your owne Glose saithe, 3as it hath benne often alleged, Vocatur Corpus Christi, id est, Significat Corpus Christi: It is called the Body of Christe, that is to saie, it Signifieth the Body of Christe. But the people, yée saie, receiued it warily, and with reuerence. So doo they nowe, euen in those Churches, that you moste mislike withal.
