Cicero saith, A simple Po•te, when he cannot tell, how to shift his matters, imagineth some God suddenly to come in place a little to astone the people: and there an end. So ⟨p. 438⟩M. Harding finding him self much encumbered with his Accidents, is fain to bring in God with his whole Omnipotent Power, to hold them up. Children in the Schools are taught to know, that an Accident hath no Being without a Subject. Which rule being otherwise evermore true, hath Exception, as M. Harding saith, only in this Sacrament, wherein be the Accidents, and Shows of Bread, and Wine, and yet no Subject. For they are not in the Bread: because (as he saith) that is gone: nor in the Air, for that cannot be seen: nor in Christs Body, for that is not round &c. So there is a white thing, yet nothing is white: And a round thing, yet nothing is round. Therefore, for as much as these Accidents neither are able to stand alone, nor have any subject there to rest in, for that cause, M. Harding saith, they be sustained by the Power of God.
Cicero saith, A simple Po•te, when he cannot tel, howe to shifte his maters, imagineth some God suddainely to come in place a litle to astonne the people: and there an ende. So ⟨p. 438⟩M. Hardinge findinge him self muche encumbred with his Accidentes, is faine to bringe in God with his whole Omnipotent Power, to holde them vp. Children in the Scholes are taught to knowe, that an Accident hath no Beinge without a Subiecte. Which rule beinge otherwise euermore true, hath Exception, as M. Hardinge saith, onely in this Sacrament, wherein be the Accidentes, and Shewes of Breade, and Wine, and yet no Subiecte. For they are not in the Breade: bicause (as he saith) that is gonne: nor in the Aier, for that cannot be seene: nor in Christes Bodie, for that is not rounde &c. So there is a white thinge, yet nothinge is white: And a rounde thinge, yet nothinge is rounde. Therefore, for as muche as these Accidentes neither are hable to stande alone, nor haue any subiecte there to reast in, for that cause, M. Harding saith, they be susteined by the Power of God.
