Here followeth a piteous outcry, that we have shamefully corrupted S. Augustine's words, shifting in, Oporter, in steede of, Potest. What new fancy is suddenly fallen into M. Hardinges head, I cannot tell. S. Augustine's words, as they be alleged by Gratian,1 are these: Corpus, in quo Resurrexit, in Uno loco esse Oportet: The Body, wherein Christ rose again, must needs be in One place. Here is not, Oportet, in steede of, Potest, as M. Harding saith: but, Oportet, as it should be, for, Oportet. If there have been any corruption wrought herein, it hath been wrought by Gratian, wellnigh four hundred years ago, and not by ⟨p. 86⟩us.2 Yet is Gratian one of the highest Doctors of M. Hardinges side. And will M. Harding make us believe, that his own Catholic Doctors would be so bold, to corrupt S. Augustine?
