The learned men of Bohemia s•we they could have no hold of Christs Institution, and therefore to maintain their new fangled attempt, as it pleaseth M. Harding to ter•e it, they were […]to take the words of Christ out of the sixth Chapter of John, onlesse […]flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye shall have no life in you. But these words in the sixth Chapter of S. John, saith M. Harding, our new Masters will have expounded of the spiritual, not of the Sacramental eating. Of the Bohemians, I cannot see why they should be called new fangled. Their request was none other, but that they might continue the order of the Primitive Church,1 which Thomas of Aquine saith, had continued in diverse Churches from the Apostles until his time, for the space of a thousand and three hundred years without controlment. And it may il become a Christian man, and a scholar of thaposto••que See, to call the doing of Christ, and of his Disciples, new fangled. Touching their reasons made in this behalf, I need not to speak. God's name be blessed, they have prevailed with the best learned of the world. What so ever their premisses seem to M. Harding, their Conclusion was this, that no mortal creature should presume, to disallow the ordinance of the Immortal God.

But these woordes in the sixte Chapter of S. Iohn, saithe M. Hardinge, our newe Maisters wil haue expounded of the spiritual, not of the Sacramental eatinge. Of the Bohemians, I cannot sée why they shoulde be called newe fangled. Their requeste was none other, but that they might continue the order of the Primitiue Churche,1 whiche Thomas of Aquine saithe, had continued in diuerse Churches from the Apostles vntil his time, for the space of a thousande and thrée hundred yéeres without controlement. And it may il become a Christian man, and a scholar of thapostoque See, to cal the dooinge of Christe, and of his Disciples, newe fangled. Touchinge their reasons made in this behalfe, I néede not to speake. Goddes name be blissed, they haue preuailed with the best learned of the worlde. What so euer their premisses séeme to M. Hardinge, their Conclusion was this, that no mortal creature shoulde presume, to disallowe the ordinance of the Immortal God.
