YES, replied Moreman, Hesychius calleth it bread, because it was bread, not because it is so. Then, passing over Origen, he said, that men, mistook the authority of Theodoret, by interpreting a general into a special, as Peter Martyr had done, taking a Greek word, that signifies substance in its special signification, whereas, in the general, it may be applied to accidents, as well as substance; and therefore (said he) I answer Theodoret thus, that sacramental bread and wine do not go out of their former substance, form, and shape, that is, not out of their accidental substance and shape.
AFTER this, Mr. Cheyney sat down, and Mr. Elmar, who could not endure to hear so weak and childish an answer to so grave an authority, arose, declaring, that Moreman's answer to Theodoret was only an illusion, or mere subtle evasion, contrary to Theodoret'e meaning; for if the Greek word, that signifies substance, should, in the passage quoted, be taken for accident, then it was a superfluous word, especially, where there are two other Greek words, which sufficiently expound the accidents of the bread; and he proved out of the same author, by divers allegations, that the Greek word that signified substance in Theodoret, could not be so generally taken in that place; but Moreman still affirmed, that the Greek word that signified substance, must needs signify accidental substance properly. To whose obstinacy, since he could obtain no better proof, Elmar gave place.
