I marvel, M. Harding would so slenderly pass this matter over, for that it is thought to make much both against his Transubstantiation, and also against his Private Mass, which are both Keys, and Locks of his whole Religion. For first of all, the Breaking it self seemeth to argue, that there is very Bread there remaining to be Broken.1 And albeit, as it is reported by Petrus Lombardus, Some held, that there is in the Sacrament a very Real Breaking, notwithstanding there be nothing there to be Broken: Some, that the Body of Christ it self is there Broken, and that verily, and in deed, without any help or shift of Figure: and Some, that there is nothing Broken, but only the Shows, and Accidents: and Some others, that there is no manner Breaking there at all, notwithstanding unto our eyes, and senses there appear a Breaking: Yet the Holy Evangelists witness plainly,2 That Christ took Bread, and Blessed it, and Brake it: 3and S. Paul saith,4 (Not the Accidents of Bread, but) The Bread, that we Break, is the Participation of Christs Body. And in the primitive Church, the very Supper of Christ,5 was commonly called the Breaking (not of Accidents,6 but) of Bread. And Cyrillus calleth the Broken Portions of the Sacrament,7 Fragmenta Panis, Fragments, or Pieces of Bread.
