Yet saith M. Harding, Here doth M. Ivel with his Consacramentaries stagger, and knoweth not what to say. Yea verily, M. Harding, we are astonied to consider the wonderful, and just judgements of God, that any man should so wilfully renounce God's known truth, and be thus utterly given over to follow lies: ⟨p. 85⟩or so much to presume of his own wit and eloquence, that he thinketh himself able to over rule and lead all the world with a fable. As for a•es or •• struments to hew up this knot, we need none. Every child may see […]: It openeth, and looseth it self. Christ cometh with his Apo•••• […] from heaven to hear Mass: The Apostles singe Mass by note: Christ […] the Clerks part, and attendeth the priest: Amphilochius writeth Thomas Becket's Life seven hundred years before he was borne: S. Basil lieth all night in the Vestry: He hangeth up a golden Dove first, and maketh it afterward: He keepeth a portion of the Sacrament seven years together: He receiveth the same in his death bed, and is buried, or, as M. Harding delighteth rather to say, is interred with it: besides a multitude of other like follies, and fables. This is that wonderful Gordius fatal knot, that can never be opened without an are.
