Touching the Oblation of Christs Body, we believe, & Confess as much, as the Holy Ghost hath opened in the Scriptures. Where as M. Harding saith, Christs Body is offered up by the Priest unto God the Father, in Remembrance of that Body, that Christ himself offered upon the Cross, He seemeth not to consider the inconstancy, and folly of his own tale. For it is well known to all Creatures, not only Christians, but also Jews, Turks, and Saracens, that Christ was Crucified upon the Cross: But that Christ should be Sacrificed by a Mortal man, Invisibly, and, as they say, under the Forms of Bread, and Wine, and that Really, and in deed, it is a thing so far passing the common sense of Christian knowledge, that the best learned, and wisest of the Ancient learned Christian Fathers could never know it.

Therefore this is, not only the proving of a thing known, by a thing unknown: and of a thing most certain, by a thing uncertain: but also the Confirmation of a manifest Trueth, by an open Error.
