In alleginge Origen, Sir Defender, ye plaie your accustomed false plaie,* 1.1 corruptinge his sentence, and falsifieinge his woordes. For they be not as you recite them, but thus: Ille cibus, qui sanctificatur per Verbum Dei,* 1.2 pèrque obsecrationem, iuxta id quod habet materiale, in ventrem abit, & in secessum eijcitur: That meate, whiche is Consecrated by the VVoorde of God, and by Praier, accordinge to that Material, whiche it hathe, it goeth into the belly, and is voided foorthe into the Priuie. Here neither nameth he‡ 1.3 Breade, as you doo (to cause the people to thinke, it is but very Breade) but meate. And that you haue in your Latine▪ Quod quidem ad Materiam attinet: whiche is by your Interpreter, As touchinge the Material Substance thereof,* 1.4 it is not O∣rigens, but your owne forged stuffe, to deceiue the ignorante withal, to thende they might be moued by your false handlinge of that Doctour, to beleeue, the mater and Substance of very Breade to remaine. He speakethe not of the‡ 1.5 mater of Breade, but of that whiche is Material in this Sacramente, mea∣ninge the Accidentes or Qualities remaininge after Consecration, whiche be Material, but not the mater it selfe of Breade (as Mater is taken for the one parte of a perfect Substance)* 1.6 and the same Accidentes be voided foorthe, as Origen had good cause by occasion of Christes woorde to declare, you had none to recorde the same. But it liked your filthy sprite withe vile woordes to bringe that Holy Mysterie, and Blessed Sacramente into contempte. VVherein ye do the Deuil Authour of al Herisies the greatest seruice, that maie be deuised.
