If we abuse the simplicity of the people, uttering plainly, & simply the very ⟨p. 453⟩words of the Ancient Fathers, then did the Fathers them selves likewise abuse the simple people: for that they of all others, first uttered, and published the same words: and specially for that, they never qualified the same, with any of these M. Hardinges New Constructions.
If we abuse the simplicitie of the people, vtteringe plainely, & simply the very ⟨p. 453⟩woordes of the Ancient Fathers, then did the Fathers them selues likewise abuse the simple people: for that they of al others, first vttered, and published the same woordes: and specially for that, they neuer qualified the same, with any of these M. Hardinges Newe Constructions.
But if we abuse the people, speaking in such wise, as the Old Catholic Fathers spake so long before us, what then may we think of M. Harding, that cometh only with his own words, that wresteth, and falsifieth the words of the Holy Fathers, and by his strange Expositions maketh them not the Fathers words? Gelasius saith,1 In the Sacrament there remaineth the Substance of Bread, and Wine: That is to say, saith M. Harding, There remain the Accidents of Bread and Wine. Ireneus, and Justinus Martyr say,2 The Bread of the Sacrament, increaseth the Substance of our Flesh: Then meaning is, saith M. Harding, that the Accidents of the Bread increase the Substance of our Flesh. S. Ambrose saith,3 Post consecrationem Corpus Christi Significatur. After Consecration the Body of Christ is Signified: M. Harding saith, No, not so: But after Consecration the life to come is Signified. Now judge thou indifferently, good Reader, whether of us abuseth the simplicity of the people.
