These words are Bastard, and misbegotten, as nothing resembling, neither the sense, nor the words of S. Augustine, but rather contrary to them both. They are alleged only by certain late writers, as namely by Gratian, by Peter Lombard, and by Algerius, as other things also be without any great choice, or judgement. Only S. Augustine, upon whom they are fathered, and therefore should best know them, knoweth them not. Howe be it, by what so ever name we may call this New Doctor, M. Harding findeth him so far, and so rank of his side, that he is fain to check him of to much ri•t, and to call him back. Beware, thou unlearned Man, saith he, if thou take not very good heed, this New Doctor, whom I call S. Augustine, w•l deceive thee. This Augustine saith, Christs Body is made of the Substance of Bread: But say thou, Christs Body is not made of the Substance of Bread. This Augustine saith twice together in one place, Christs Body is created: but he was not well advised, what he said: Therefore say thou, Christs Body is not created: believe not this Augustine's words: he saith one thing, and thinketh an other. Thus this Doctor is set to School. But it may well be doubted, whether we ought to give more credit to this young S. Augustine, that cannot tell his own tale, or to M. Hardinges Commentary, that goeth so far beside the Te•te.
These woordes are Bastarde, and misbegotten, as nothinge resemblinge, neither the sense, nor the woordes of S. Augustine, but rather contrary to them both. They are alleged onely by certaine late writers, as namely by Gratian, by Peter Lombarde, and by Algerius, as other thinges also be without any greate choise, or iudgement. Onely S. Augustine, vpon whome they are fathered, and therefore shoulde beste knowe them, knoweth them not. Howe be it, by what so euer name wée may cal this Newe Doctoure, M. Hardinge findeth him so farre, and so ranke of his side, that he is faine to checke him of to muche rit, and to cal him backe. Beware, thou vnlearned Man, saithe he, if thou take not very good heede, this Newe Doctour, whome I cal S. Auustine, wl deceiue thee. This Augustine saithe, Christes Bodie is made of the Substance of Breade: But say thou, Christes Bodie is not made of the Substance of Breade. This Augustine saithe twise togeather in one place, Christes Bodie is created: but he was not wel aduised, what he saide: Therefore saie thou, Christes Bodie is not created: beleeue not this Augustines woordes: he saithe one thinge, and thinketh an other. Thus this Doctour is sette to Schoole. But it may wel be doubted, whether wée ought to geue more credite to this younge S. Augustine, that cannot tel his owne tale, or to M. Hardinges Commentarie, that goeth so farre biside the Tete.
