Al this notwithstanding, M. Harding doubteth not to make us believe, That all these Fathers spake plainly of the Elevation of the Sacrament over the Priests head: & that, as he saith, according to the custom of the Occidental Church. And to that end he hath prettily falsified the words of Maximus. For, where as Maximus in the Greek writeth thus, [Greek or Hebrew], M. Harding hath translated it in this wise, Quem panem Pontifex in sublime attollit, Which Bread the Bishop lifteth on high. And so it were easy, to deceive the simple, onles the Fathers had otherwise declared their own meaning.1 Pachymeres expoundeth that word thus, [Greek or Hebrew], He Showeth, or Lifteth up. He saith not, The Priest lifted the Sacrament above his Head, or On High, as M. Harding hath turned it: but he Showed the Sacrament a little up from the Table, that it might be seen of the people.2 And so saith Chrysostom touching the same, Sacerdos modicum tollens portionem, quae est in sancta patena, dicit, Sancta Sanctis. The Priest a Little lifting up the portion, that is in the holy Dish, saith, Holy things for the holy. And so likewise Claudius du Saints readeth it. And in S. Basiles Liturgy it is thus noted in the Margin,3 Hic Sacerdos Hostiam fractam in patena jacentem, una cum Patena sublevat, & ostendit populo: Here the Priest lifteth up the Host, or Sacrament lying broken in the Dish, and together with the Dish showeth it unto the people. Yet must all these be brought forth to prove this new manner of Elevation now used in the Church of Rome. So bold is M. Harding of the simplicity of the people.
Al this notwithstandinge, M. Hardinge doubteth not to make vs beleue, That al these Fathers spake plainely of the Eleuation of the Sacrament ouer the Priestes heade: & that, as he saith, accordinge to the custome of the Occidental Churche. And to that ende he hath pretily falsified the woordes of Maximus. For, where as Maximus in the Greeke writeth thus, 〈non-Latin alphabet〉, M. Hardinge hath translated it in this wise, Quem panem Pontifex in sublime attollit, Whiche Breade the Bishop lifteth on high. And so it were easy, to deceiue the simple, onles the Fathers had otherwise declared theire owne meaninge.
