In the second word, Operta, which signifieth Covered, M. Harding wittingly dissembleth his own learning, & would seem not to know the manner, & nature of all Sacraments: which is, to offer one thing outwardly unto our senses, and an other inwardly to our mind. Hereof there is sufficiently spoken before, in the Second,1 and Eighth Division of this Article. Chrysostom saith, In Sensibilibus Intelligibilia nobis tradidit. In Sensible, and Outward things, Christ hath given us things Spiritual. And for Example he addeth, Sic & in Baptismo: So it fareth in the Sacrament of Baptism. Thus S. Augustine saith, The godly of the Jews understood Christ in their Mann•. In like sort Origen speaketh of the letter of the Scriptures,2 Corpora Prophetarum colunt posita in Libris, & Literis, quasi in quibusdā Sepulchris. They honour the Bodies of the Prophets laid in their Books, and Letters, as if it were in certain Graves. So S. Augustine, Sensus in Litera manet, & per Literam vindetur: The Sense lieth in the Letter, and by the Letter it is seen. So Nicolaus Cabasilas, Spiritus celatur in Litera: The Sprite of God is hidden in the Letter. I think, M. Harding in these speeches will not necessarily require any Corporal, or Real Presence.3 Thus S. Gregorie saithe, Christus in se ipso immortaliter, & incorruptibiliter vivens, iterum in hoc Mysterio moritur. Christ living in him self immortally, and without Corruption, dieth again in this Mystery. 4Whereupon the Gloss saith, Moritur, id est, Mors eius Repraesentatur: Christe dieth, that is to say, his Death is represented. Now, as Christ dieth in the Sacrament, so is his Body Present in the Sacrament.5 But Christ dieth not there Really, and in deed: Therefore Christs Body is not there Really, and in deed.
In the seconde woorde, Operta, whiche signifieth Coouered, M. Hardinge witingly dissembleth his owne learninge, & woulde seeme not to know the manner, & nature of al Sacramentes: whiche is, to offer one thinge outwardly vnto our senses, and an other inwardly to our minde. Hereof there is sufficiently spoken before, in the Seconde,
