Now, if M. Harding, touching this effect of Feeding, will compare his Accidents with Christs Body, then must he say, That we Eat Accidents, and Drink Accidents, and be Fed with Accidents, and Live by Accidents: even as in the Inner man we Eat Christ, and Drink Christ, and be Fed with Christ, and Live by Christ. Otherwise he must confess, that, touching the effect of Feeding, his Accidents have no Resemblance of Christs Body: and therefore can in no wise be called Sacraments.
Now, if M. Hardinge, touchinge this effecte of Feedinge, wil compare his Accidentes with Christes Bodie, then must he say, That wée Eate Accidentes, and Drinke Accidentes, and be Feadde with Accidentes, and Liue by Accidentes: euen as in the Inner man wee Eate Christe, and Drinke Christe, and be Feadde with Christe, and Liue by Christe. Otherwise he muste confesse, that, touchinge the effecte of Feedinge, his Accidentes haue no Resemblance of Christes Bodie: and therefore can in no wise be called Sacramentes.
But, saith M. Harding, the Accidents Represent the likeness of Bread: and the Bread, that was, Representeth the Body of Christ. Here is an other subtle drift of M. Hardinges reason: from Accidents, to Bread: and from Bread, to Christs Body. And so we have here fancy upon fancy: and one Likeness upon an other: but neither Scripture, nor Council, nor Doctor, either Greek, or Latin: or Old, or New, to avouch the same.
But, saithe M. Hardinge, the Accidentes Represente the likenesse of Breade: and the Breade, that was, Representeth the Bodie of Christe. Here is an other suttle drifte of M. Hardinges reason: from Accidentes, to Breade: and from Breade, to Christes Bodie. And so wée haue here fansie vpon fansie: and one Likenes vpon an other: but neither Scripture, nor Councel, nor Doctour, either Greeke, or Latine: or Olde, or Newe, to auouche the same.
