And as touching the other word, Operta, Covered, S. Augustine meaneth not thereby, that Christs Body is Really contained, and covered under the said Form, or kind of Bread: but only that it is there, as in a Sacrament, or in a Mystery. In this sense S. Augustine saithe,1 Gratia Dei in Veteri Testamento velara la•ebat: The Grace of God lay hidden covered in the Old Testament. And again, In Veteri Testamento occultabatur Novum, id est, occultè Significabatur• The New Testament was hidden in the Old, that is to say, It was secretly Signified in the Old.
And as touchinge the other woorde, Operta, Coouered, S. Augustine meaneth not thereby, that Christes Bodie is Really conteined, and coouered vnder the saide Fourme, or kinde of Breade: but onely that it is there, as in a Sacramente, or in a Mysterie. In this sense S. Augustine saithe,1 Gratia Dei in Veteri Testamento velara la•ebat: The Grace of God laie hidden coouered in the Olde Testamente. And againe, In Veteri Testamento occultabatur Nouum, id est, occultè Significabatur• The Newe Testamente was hidden in the Olde, that is to saie, It was secretely Signified in the Olde.

Here, least M. Harding should take these words strictly, and grossly, as he doth the rest, and say, The New Testament in deed, & Really was covered in the Old, S. Augustine him self hath prevented him,1 and opened his own meaning in this wise, as it is said before: Occultabatur, id est, occultè Significabatur: It was Covered, that is to say, it was secretly Signified. By which exposition, being S. Augustine's, M. Harding might have learned likewise to expound these words, Caro operta forma Panis, id est, occultè Significata: The Flesh covered in the Form, or Substance of Bread: that is to say, Privily Signified in the Form, or Substance of Bread.
