But Christ saith, This is my Body: This is my blood: And to put the matter out ⟨p. 317⟩of doubt,1 he addeth, Which is given for you: which shall be shed for you. Here• pon M. Harding foundeth his Carnal Presence: notwithstanding Christ him self useth not any of these words, nor any other word leading thereunto. And D. Fisher sometime Bishop of Rochester, a famous man of M. Hardinges side, saith expressly, that this sense cannot in any wise be gathered of the bare words of Christ. For thus he writeth▪ Hactenus Matthaeus: qui & solus Testamenti Novi meminit. Neque ullum hic verbum positum est, 2quo probetur, in nostra Missa veram fieri Carnis, & Sanguinis Christi Praesentiam. Hitherto S. Matthew: who only maketh mention of the New Testament. Neither are there any words here written, whereby it may be proved, that in our Mass is made the very presence of the Body, and Blood of Christ. And further he avoucheth it thus, Non potest igitur per ullam Scripturam probari. Therefore it cannot be proved by any Scripture. Here we see great variety of judgement in M. Hardinges own side, and that in matters of greatest weight. M. Harding thinketh his Carnal Presence is proved sufficiently by these words of Christ, This is my Body: D. Fisher contrary wise saith, It cannot be proved, neither by these words of the Scripture, nor by any other. And yet it was ever thought, M. Fisher was as learned in every respect, as M. Harding.

Harding foundeth his Carnal Presence: notwithstandinge Christ him selfe vseth not any of these woordes, nor any other woorde leadinge therevnto. And D. Fisher sometime Bishop of Rochester, a famouse man of M. Hardinges side, saith expressely, that this sense cannot in any wise be geathered of the bare woordes of Christ. For thus he writeth Hactenus Matthaeus: qui & solus Testamenti Noui meminit. Neque vllum hic verbum positum est,
