The greatest weight of this matter lieth upon two Old Fathers, Cyril, and Hilary.1 For Hilary saith, We receive Christ, verè sub mysterio, verily under a mystery: And either of them useth these terms, Carnally, Corporally, Naturally: and that not once, or twice, but in sundry places. The authorities be great: the words be plain. But God be thanked, these places be common, and not unknown. And for answer of the same, once again remember, good Christian Reader, that notwithstanding M. Harding have found in these two Fathers, that Christs Body is Corporally, and Naturally in us, yet hath he not hitherto found that thing, that he sought for, neither in these Fathers, nor in any other: that is, that Christs Body is Naturally, or Corporally in the Sacrament. Wherefore I much marvel, that either he would avouch this matter so strongly, finding him self so weak: or else thus vainly dally, and show one thing for an other, and deceive his Reader.
The greatest weight of this mater lieth vpon two Olde Fathers, Cyril, and Hilarie.1 For Hilarie saith, We receiue Christe, verè sub mysterio, verily vnder a mysterie: And either of them vseth these termes, Carnally, Corporally, Naturally: and that not once, or twise, but in sundrie places. The authorities be greate: the woordes be plaine. But God be thanked, these places be common, and not vnknowen. And for answeare of the same, once againe remember, good Christian Reader, that notwithstandinge M. Hardinge haue founde in these two Fathers, that Christes Bodie is Corporally, and Naturally in vs, yet hath he not hitherto founde that thinge, that he sought for, neither in these Fathers, nor in any other: that is, yt Christes Bodie is Naturally, or Corporally in the Sacramen•. Wherefore I muche maruel, that either he woulde auouche this mater so strongely, findinge him selfe so weake: or elles thus vainely daly, and shewe one thinge for an other, and deceiue his Reader.
