M. Harding for fear of taking, altereth, and shifteth him self into sundry forms: in like sort, as the Old Poets imagine, that one Proteus, a subtle fellow, in like case was wont to do. Among other his strange devises he saith, Christs Body is a Figure of the life, that is to come: and that he proveth only by his portuise, without any other further Authority. But if a man would traverse this New Exposition, how standeth M. Harding so well assured of the same? What Scripture, what Doctor, what Council, what Warrant hath he, so to say? Verily, that Christs Natural Body being now Immortal, and Glorious, should be a Sign, or a Token of things to come, it were very strange, ⟨p. 452⟩and wonderful: but that bare Forms, and Accidents should so Signify, yet were that a wonder much more wonderful.

M. Hardinge for feare of takinge, altreth, and shifteth him self into sundrie formes: in like sorte, as the Olde Poetes imagin, that one Proteus, a suttle felowe, in like case was woonte to doo. Emonge other his strange diuises he saith, Christes Bodie is a Figure of the life, that is to come: and that he prooueth onely by his portuise, without any other further Authoritie. But if a man woulde trauerse this Newe Exposition, howe standeth M. Hardinge so wel assuered of the same? What Scripture, what Doctoure, what Councel, what Warrant hath he, so to saie? Uerily, that Christes Natural Bodie beinge nowe Immortal, and Glorious, shoulde be a Signe, or a Token of thinges to come, it were very strange, ⟨p. 452⟩and woonderful: but that bare Formes, and Accidentes shoulde so Signifie, yet were that a woonder muche more woonderful.
