The Fifth Day's Debate.
ON Friday, October 27th, the prolocutor opened the debate, with observing, that the convocation had spent two days in disputing about one father, which was Theodoret, and about one Greek word, ( •usia) and now they were assembled to answer all things that could be objected, therefore he desired they would shortly propound their arguments. Upon this Mr. Haddon dean of Exeter, requested leave to oppose Mr. Watson, who, with Morgan and Harpsfi••d, were appointed to answer him. Mr. Haddon then demanded, if any substance of bread and wine remained after consecration? To which Watson replied, by asking another question, namely, whether he thought there was a real presence of Christ's body or not? Mr. Haddon said, it was not agreeable to order, that one, who was appointed to be respondent should be opponent; nor should he, whose business was to object, answer. Mr. Haddon then proceeded to show, from the words of Theodoret, that the substance of bread and wine remained: for his words are, "The same they were before the sanctification, which they are after." Mr. Watson said, that Theodoret meant not the same substance, but the same essence. Whereupon they were driven again to a discussion of the Greek word above-mentioned; and Mr. Haddon proved it to mean a substance, both by its etymology, and by the words of Theodoret; for, said he, •usia cometh from the particle on, which descendeth to the verb […], and so cometh the noun •usia, which signifieth substance. Mr. Watson said, it had not that signification only: but, in that place, Mr. Haddon proved, it could not signify otherwise. He then asked Watson, when the bread and wine became symbols? Watson answered, After consecration, and not before. Then Mr. Haddon raised out of his author the following syllogism (being an argument of three propositions.)
