And, to be short, a Doctor, although not very ancient, yet of M. Hardinges own side,1 one, that wrote the Forte of Faith, and therefore in this case may not justly be refused, writeth thus: Christus vendebatur in Josepho: Suspendebatur in Botro: Crucifigebatur in Serpent: Christ was sold in Joseph: Hanged in the Cluster of grapes: and Crucified in the Serpent.
And, to be shorte, a Doctour, although not very anciente, yet of M. Hardinges owne side,1 one, that wrote the Forte of Faithe, and therefore in this case maie not iustly be refused, writeth thus: Christus vendebatur in Iosepho: Suspendebatur in Botro: Crucifigebatur in Serpente: Christe was solde in Iosephe: Hanged in the Cluster of grapes: and Crucified in the Serpente.

But M. Harding will say, The Sacrament, of S. Ambrose is called Lord. This is an other untruth, and like the rest of M. Hardinges proofs. Christ sitting now at the Right hand of God is the Bread, and food of life: Thither S. Ambrose calleth us: There he biddeth us, to taste, and see, that the Lord is sweet, and gracious. And he addeth immediately, Beatus vir, qui sperat in eo: Blessed is the Man, that trusteth in him. Notwithstanding it might very well serve his purpose, yet, I think, M. Harding will not say, The man is blessed, that trusteth in the Sacrament.
