In these words, Non bibam amplius de hoc fructu vitis, I will drink no more of this fruit of the Vine: The Fruit of the Vine, which is a Substance, they expound, The Accidents. And to leave that miraculous Figure of all Figures, §20Concomitantia, whereby one is made two, and two are made one: Consider, good Reader, the strangeness of the Figures, and the wonderful shifts, that M. ⟨p. 477⟩Harding hath imagined in this little treaty, to defeat, and avoid the manifest words of the Holy Fathers. Sometimes the Forms, and Accidents are the §21Sacrament: Sometimes Christs Body it self is the Sacrament: Sometimes §22Both together are the Sacrament: Sometimes the Bread is a Figure of Christs §23Body, before Consecration: And so by mean of M. Hardinges Figures, there §24is a Sacrament, before it be a Sacrament: and a Figure, before it be a Figure.
