But wherefore allegeth he not, either the Scriptures, or some Old Council, or some Ancient Doctor: at the least, some one, or other of his own School doctors, Innocentius, Thomas, Scotus, Alexander, Henricus de Gandavo, Robertus de collo torto, or some other like in this behalf? Is there none of all these, that ever could understand, that the Mass is the Body of Christ? And must we needs believe M. Harding in so strange a matter, without witness?
But wherefore allegeth he not, either the Scriptures, or some Olde Councel, or some Ancient Doctour: at the leaste, some one, or other of his owne Schooledoctours, Innocentius, Thomas, Scotus, Alexander, Henricus de Gandauo, Robertus de collo torto, or some other like in this behalfe? Is there none of al these, that euer coulde vnderstande, that the Masse is the Bodie of Christe? And muste wée néedes beléeue M. Hardinge in so strange a mater, without witnes?
Verily if the Mass, according to this new Doctrine, be Christs Body, and that verily, and in deed, without shift, or help of Figure, then was the Mass Borne of the Blessed Virgin: then was it Crucified: then was it Buried in the Grave. For all these things happened to the Body of Christ. Then who so ⟨p. 597⟩ever denieth the Mass, denieth Christs Body: and who so ever believeth Christs Body, believeth the Mass. But what should M. Harding do? A monstrous Doctrine requireth a monstrous kind of words.

But what shoulde M. Hardinge doo? A monstrous Doctrine requireth a monstrous kinde of woordes.
