Now mark, good Christian Reader, how handsomely M. Harding applieth these things unto his purpose. Certainly Tertullian in these words, even by M. Hardinges own judgement, enlargeth nothing, nor useth any such contentious, or fiery speech over, and above the Trueth: but rather contrariwise he a••teth, & minisheth, as much as he possibly may, of the Trueth. For the thing, that M. Harding saith, Is Christs very Natural Body, Tertullian saith, It is a Figure of Christs Body: 1The thing, that in deed, and undoubtedly is the Substance of Bread, that Tertullian, by M. Hardinges Exposition, calleth a Show, or Accident of Bread: To be short, that thing, wherein resteth all thing, Tertullian […]Conclusion maketh nothing. Yet M. Harding favourably excuseth him, for that he wrote [Greek or Hebrew], as did Gregorius Neocaesariensis: and therefore through heat of Contention seemeth somewhat to overreach the trueth. Thus he, that calleth Christs Body a Figure: Substance, Accident: and abaseth his talk, and speaketh less, then he should do, by M. Hardinges Divinity, amplifieth, enlargeth, overreacheth, and speaketh more, then he should do. It is a very narrow hole, that these men will not seek, to shift out at.
Nowe marke, good Christian Reader, howe handsomely M. Hardinge applieth these thinges vnto his purpose. Certainely Tertullian in these woordes, euen by M. Hardinges owne iudgement, enlargeth nothinge, nor vseth any suche contentious, or fiery speache ouer, and aboue the Trueth: but rather contrarywise he a••teth, & minisheth, as muche as he possibly maie, of the Trueth. For the thinge, that M. Hardinge saith, Is Christes very Natural Bodie, Tertullian saith, It is a Figure of Christes Bodie: 1The thinge, that in deede, and vndoubtedly is the Substance of Breade, that Tertullian, by M. Hardinges Exposition, calleth a Shewe, or Accident of Breade: To be shorte, that thinge, wherein resteth al thinge, Tertullian 〈…〉Conclusion maketh nothinge. Yet M. Hardinge fauourably excuseth him, for that he wrote 〈non-Latin alphabet〉, as did Gregorius Neocaesariensis: and therefore through heate of Contention seemeth somewhat to ouerreache the trueth. Thus he, that calleth Christes Bodie a Figure: Substance, Accidente: and abaseth his talke, and speaketh lesse, then he should doo, by M. Hardinges Diuinitie, amplifieth, enlargeth, ouerreacheth, and speaketh more, then he should doo. It is a very narrowe hole, that these menne wil not seeke, to shifte out at.
