Notwithstanding this answer unto the discreet Reader may seem sufficient, yet M. Harding forceth the matter further, with this word, Factus est. If this word, Factus est, saith he, may Signify an imaginative making, then why maie ⟨p. 425⟩not,1 Verbum Caro factum est, be so expounded? O what simple shifts are these? Is M. Harding able to allege no bar, but that may be pleaded against him self?2 Or doeth he think, that this Latin Word, Facere, must needs signify, Transubstantiare? S. Augustine saith, Nos Christi Facti sumus: We are made Christs. Leo saith, Corpus regenerati, Fit Caro Crucifixi. The Body of the man, that is Regenerate, is made the Flesh of Christ, that was Crucified. Bede saith, Nos ipsi Corpus Christi facti sumus: We our selves are made the Body of Christ. Origen saith in like manner of speache,3 Spiritus Sanctus non in turturē Vertitur, sed Columba Fit. The Holy Ghost is not changed into a Turtle, but is made a dove. So S. Ambrose, Victa anima libidine Car••s, Fit Caro. The S•ule being overcome with the pleasure of the flesh, is made flesh. 4And will M. Harding upon warrant of this one Word, conclude, that our Bodies be utterly Transubstantiate, and Substantially, and Really become the Body of Christ? Or, that the Holy Ghost is verily Transubstantiate into a Dove? Or the Soul into Flesh? Or in these very words, that he hath alleged, Verbum Caro Factum est: The word, that is, the Son of God, was made Flesh, Doeth he think, that the Son of God left the Nature of his Godhead, and was verily Transubstantiate into Flesh? Doubtless this were a Monstrous Doctrine,5 & in old times it was Cherinthus, and Ebion's horrible Heresy. Verily Leo saith, Quamuis Johannes scribat, Verbum Caro factum est, Verbum •amen non est versum in Carnem: Although S. John say, The Word was made Flesh, yet was not the Word turned (or Transubstantiate) into leashe. S. Augustine saith of the Heretics called Timotheani, Ad confirmandam huiusmodi impietatem, qua Deum asserunt vesum esse à Natura sua,
