Here M. Harding beginneth to scan his Tenses, to rip up Syllables, and to hunt for Letters: And in the end buildeth up the highest Castle of his Religion upon a guess. I marvel, that so learned a man would either use so unlearned arguments: or, having such store of Authorities, as he pretendeth, would ever make so simple choice.
Here M. Hardinge beginneth to scanne his Tenses, to rippe vp Syllables, and to hunte for Letters: And in the ende buildeth vp the highest Castle of his Religion vpon a gheasse. I maruel, that so learned a man woulde either vse so vnlearned argumentes: or, hauinge suche stoare of Authorities, as he pretendeth, woulde euer make so simple choise.
He saith, These words, Is Given, Is Shed, be words of Sacrificing, though the Term it self of Oblation, and Sacrifice, be not expressed. Here M. Harding, besides that he hath imagined a strange Construction of his own, that never any learned man knew before, and so straggleth alone, and swerveth from all the Old Fathers, includeth also a Repugnance, and Contradiction against him self. For, where as Words, and Terms sound both one thing, the one being mere English, the other borrowed of the Latin, M. Harding saith, Christ in the Institution of his Supper, used the Words of Sacrificing, and yet expressed not the Terms of Sacrificing. Such Privilege these men have, with shift of terms to beguile the World. For if Christ used the Words of Sacrificing, how can M. Harding say, He used not the Terms of Sacrificing? And if he used not the Terms (Words, and Terms being one thing) how can he say, He used the words?
He saith, These woordes, Is Geuen, Is Shead, be woordes of Sacrificinge, thoughe the Terme it selfe of Oblation, and Sacrifice, be not expressed. Here M. Hardinge, bisides that he hath imagined a strange Construction of his owne, that neuer any learned man knewe before, and so straggleth alone, and swarueth from al the Olde Fathers, includeth also a Repugnance, and Contradictiō against him selfe. For, where as Woordes, and Termes sounde bothe one thinge, the one beinge mere Englishe, the other borowed of the Latine, M. Harding saithe, Christe in the Institution of his Supper, vsed the VVoordes of Sacrificing, and yet expressed not the Termes of Sacrificinge. Suche Priuilege these menne haue, with shifte of termes to beguile the Worlde. For yf Christe vsed the Woordes of Sacrificinge, howe can M. Hardinge saie, He vsed not the Termes of Sacrificinge? And yf he vsed not the Termes (Woordes, and Termes beinge one thinge) how can he saie, He vsed the woordes?
