Yet saith M. Harding, S. Augustine's words be plain, Christ was borne in his own hands. It is neither indifferent, nor true dealing, thus to nip, and to prune the Doctors sayings: and alleging a few words, to leave out the rest, and especially such words, as be material, & able to give light unto the whole. For S. Augustine saith not, Christ bare him self Really, Substantially, and in deed in his own hands, as it is here untruly supposed: neither, as M. Harding hath added of his own, By his divine power, or Invisibly: But contrary wise he expoundeth him self by these words,1 Ipse se quodammodò portabat: In a manner, and after a sort he carried I him self. This word, Quodammodò, in the Schools is called, Terminus diminuens: which oftentimes in reasoning breedeth error. For these words, Quodammodò, After a sort, and, Verè, verily, or in deed, are ever contrary. So saith S. Augustine,2 Sacramentum Corporis Christi, secundum quendam modum Corpus Christi est. The Sacrament of Christs Body, in a certain sort, is the Body of Christ. 3And this sort, or manner he expoundeth thus, Nisi enim Sacramenta similitudinem quandam earum rerum, quarum Sacramenta sunt, haberent, omninò Sacramenta non essent. Onlesse Sacramentes had some likeness of those things, whereof they be Sacraments, they should utterly be no Sacraments.
Yet saith M. Harding, S. Augustines woordes be plaine, Christe was borne in his owne handes. It is neither indifferent, nor true dealinge, thus to nippe, and to proine the Doctours saieinges: and alleginge a few woordes, to leaue out the reast, and especially suche woordes, as be material, & hable to geue light vnto the whole. For S. Augustine saith not, Christe bare him selfe Really, Substantially, and in deede in his owne handes, as it is here vntruely supposed: neither, as M. Hardinge hath added of his owne, By his diuine power, or Inuisibly: But contrary wise he expoundeth him selfe by these woordes,1 Ipse se quodammodò portabat: In a manner, and after a sorte he caried I him selfe. This woorde, Quodammodò, in the Schooles is called, Terminus diminuens: whiche oftentimes in reasoning breedeth errour. For these woordes, Quodammodò, After a sorte, and, Verè, verily, or in deede, are euer contrary. So saith S. Augustine,
