A reply unto M. Hardinges answerA replie vnto M. Hardinges ansvveare

M. Harding will reply, Cyrillus saith, [Greek or Hebrew], which he expoundeth, In specie, vel Figura Panis: In the Form, or Figure of Bread: And this, as he imagineth, is as much, as Accidents without Subject. What manner consideration leadeth him hereto, I cannot tell. But it is most certain, that by this very way, the Old Heretics were lead into their Errors. Marcion the Heretic held, that Christ appeared not in the very Natural Body of a Man, but only in a fantasy, or show of a mans Body. And to prove the same, he used M. Hardinges reason:¹ For it is written said he, In Similitu dinem hominum factus est, & Figura inuentus ut homo. He was made after the Likeness of men, and found in Figure (which M. Harding expoundeth, in Shows, and Accidents) as a man. And S. Ambrose saith,² Nec sibi blandiatur virus Apollinare, quia ita legitur, Et Specie inuentus, ut homo. Let not that Heretic Apollinaris flatter him self, for that it is thus written, He was found in Figure, and Form, as a man. Here we see, M. Harding is driven to fight with Old Heretics Weapons:³ otherwise his friends would not judge him Catholic. S. Ambrose saith, Christ appeared In Figura humana, In the Figure of a Man. ⁴Origen saith, C••ristus est expressa Imago, & Figura Patris: Christe is the express Image, and Figure of his Father.

M. Hardinge wil replie, Cyrillus saith, 〈non-Latin alphabet〉, whiche he expoundeth, In specie, vel Figura Panis: In the Forme, or Figure of Breade: And this, as he imagineth, is as muche, as Accidentes without Subiecte. What manner consideration leadeth him hereto, I cannot tel. But it is most certaine, that by this very waye, the Olde Heretiques were leadde into their Errours. Marcion the Heretique helde, that Christe appeared not in the very Natural Bodie of a Man, but onely in a fantasie, or shewe of a mannes Bodie. And to prooue the same, he vsed M. Hardinges reason:¹
