This of late years was the School doctors Catholic meaning, touching these New Terms of their own inventing: which now M. Harding, and his Fellows are fain, for shame, to colour over with some finer Varnish. Hereof, good Christian Reader, mayest thou judge, how aptly this Doctrine may stand with the Glory, and Cross of Christ.

Harding thinketh it good skill, to das•e, and to abuse the e•es of the simple, First, where he saith, A Mortal man offereth up the Son of God in deed, and verily unto his Father, and that Christ Commanded such a Sacrifice to be made, He knoweth him self, it is, both a great untruth, and also a manifest, and a wilful blasphemy. And further, where he addeth, That the same Sacrifice so offered is available for the Dead onlesse there be some stop, or let in the Receiver, This is a very vain, and unadvised folly: For Children know, that the Dead can neither receive the Sacrament, nor make let, or stop against the receiving of the same. Therefore this addition might, have been better surveyed, ere it came abroad.
