M. Harding presumeth, that his new fantasy of Transubstantiation must needs stand for good. And therefore imagining, that the Bread, and Wine are wholly removed, and cannot be the Sacraments, he thinketh, he may well conclude, that the Forms, & Shows, that are left behind, must needs be the Sacraments. But this error is soon reproved by the consent of all the Old Catholic Fathers of the Church. S. Augustine saithe,1 Quod videtis, Panis est: The thinge that ye see (speaking of the Sacrament) is (not a Form, or an Accident, but) Very Bread. S. Chrysostom,2 Theodoretus, Gelasius,3 and other learned Fathers confess by manifest, and express words, That there remaineth still in the Sacrament the Very Nature, and Substance of Bread, and Wine. Therefore this Doctrine is built upon a false ground, and cannot stand.
