The painter that portrayed out in colours Medea killing her own child,1 by the skill he had in painting, made to appear in her face two contrary affections: for in the one side he expressed extreme Fury, that bad her kill: and in the other side motherly Love and Pity, that bad her not kill. Such two contrary affections we may here see in M. Harding, both painted and set out in one face. For notwithstanding for his credits sake he advance his Mass, and deface the holy Communion with all that he is able:2 yet here again for conscience sake of the other side he confesseth, that the Communion is the better: and so rippeth up all, that he hath sewed before, and willeth others to assent unto him, before he can assent unto him self. God's name be blessed, that is thus able to force out his truth, even by the mouths of them, that openly withstand his truth. But neither should he in such disdain, and so often call us new Masters and Gospellers, for defending that him self knoweth, and confesseth to be the better: nor after the holy Communion was once restored, should he have drawn the people again to the Private Mass: that is, by his own confession, from the better to the worse.
