S. Augustine meaneth not by these words, that the understanding of the Scriptures lieth Really hidden under the Letter. He him self better expoundeth his own meaning in this wise,1 In veteri Testamento occultabatur novum, quia occult• Significabatur. The New Testament was hidden in the Old: because it was secretly (or Invisibly) Signified in the Old.

Now let us examine the ground of M. Hardinges guesses. S. Augustine nameth Visibilem Speciem, the visible kind of the Elements: Ergo, saith M. Harding, he meaneth only the Accidents, or outward Forms of Bread, and Wine, and not the Substance. The weakness of this Conclusion proceedeth of the misunderstanding of the Terms. For S. Augustine in this place, useth not this word (Species) for the outward Show,1 but for the very Substance of the thing it self. So S. Ambrose saith twice together in one place, Sermo Dei Species mutat elementorum: The Word of God changeth the Kinds of the Elements: And again, Ante benedictionem alia Species nominatur: Before the Consecration it is called an other Kind. In these and other like places, M. Harding cannot well say, that, Species, signifieth an Accident, or outward Show.
