Here M. Harding, as if the Gospel of Christ were become odious unto him, in scorn and disdain calleth us Gospellers,1 by the name of that Gospel, that he so wilfully hath forsaken, returning to his old vomit. And out of these words of Tertullian three things (he saith) he will teach us: of which three things notwithstanding his Private Mass is none. Of the first we have to speak otherwhere. Of the second there is no question. In the third M. Harding hath manifestly corrupted both the words, and meaning of Tertullian. He saith, The thing, that we receive is no Bread: but so Tertullian saith not. His words be these, Thy husband will think it (only) Bread, and not that Bread that it is called, That is to say the Sacrament of Christs Body: or the Mystery of any Holy thing, as Christian men believe of it: like as Chrysostom also saith of the water of Baptisme, Ethnicus cum audit lavacrum Baptismi, 2persuadet sibi simpliciter esse aquam. A Heathen when he heareth of the bathe of Baptism, believeth it is nothing else but plain w•ter.
