Touching S. Augustine, and Origen, that here are brought in for a countenance, if these Ancient Holy Fathers were now alive, they would blush to ⟨p. 599⟩hear their tales thus reported. Origens words, if it might have pleased M. Harding, to have laid them out whole, and at large without clipping, as he found them, both would have been clear, and plain in them self, and also would have soon shaken down all this whole frame of Opus Operatum.

For he neither speaketh of the Mass, nor promiseth Remission of Sins for any thing, that is done in the Mass: but only, and wholly for the Sacrifice of Christs Body upon the Cross. His words be these, Si redeas ad illum Panem, qui de Coelo descendit, & dat huic mundo vitam, illum Panem propositionis, hoc est, Christum ipsum, quem proposuit Deus propitiationem per Fidem in Sanguine eius: & si respicias ad illam Commemorationem, de qua dicit Dominus, Hoc facite ad meam Commemorationem, inuenies, quòd ista est Commemoratio sola, quae propitium faciat hominibus Deum: Yf thou turn to that Bread, that came down from Heaven, and giveth life to this world, I mean that Showbread, that is, Christ him self, whom God hath appointed to be a Propitiation by Faith in his Blood: and if thou behold that Remembrance, whereof the Lord saith, Do this in Remembrance of me, thou shalt find, that it is this Remembrance only (that is to say, The Body of Christ Crucified, and the price of his Blood thus Remembered) that maketh God merciful unto men. Now let M. Harding indifferently judge, whether these words be likely to prove his Opus Operatum, or any other thing belonging unto his Mass.
