Touching S. Basil, M. Harding seemeth to confess, that his books are disordered, and that now set after Consecration, that sometimes was before: ⟨p. 451⟩and yet he showeth us not, who hath wrought this treachery. I trow, they have corrupted, and falsified their own books.
Touchinge S. Basile, M. Hardinge seemeth to confesse, that his bookes are disordred, and that nowe sette after Consecration, that sometimes was before: ⟨p. 451⟩and yet he sheweth vs not, who hath wrought this treacherie. I trowe, they haue corrupted, and falsified their owne bookes.
But Basil calleth the Sacrament [Greek or Hebrew], that is, a Sampler, a Sign, or a Token of Christs Body, before the Consecration: and so Damascenus, Euthymius, and one Epiphanius, and Marcus Ephesius, late writers have expounded it. Here, mark well, good Reader, the Niceness, and curiosity of this people without cause. Sooner then they will confess, as the Ancient Catholic Fathers do, that the Sacrament is a Figure of Christs Body, they are content to say: It is a Sacrament, before it be a Sacrament: and so a Figure, before it be a Figure. For how can the Sacrament be a Sacrament, or what can the bare Bread Signify before Consecration? Or who appointed, or commanded it so to Signify?

Here, marke wel, good Reader, the Nicenesse, and curiositie of this people without cause. Sooner then they wil confesse, as the Ancient Catholique Fathers doo, that the Sacrament is a Figure of Christes Bodie, they are contente to saie: It is a Sacrament, before it be a Sacrament: and so a Figure, before it be a Figure. For howe canne the Sacrament be a Sacrament, or what canne the bare Breade Signifie before Consecration? Or who appointed, or commaunded it so to Signifie?
