M. Hardinge. The .1. Diuision.
In this Sacrament after Consecration, (175)* 1.1 nothinge in Substance remaineth, that was before, neither Breade, nor VVine, but onely the Accidentes of Breade and wine: as their forme, and shape, sauour, smel, coloure, weight, and suche the like, which here haue their beinge miraculousely with∣out their subiecte: for as muche as* 1.2 after Consecration, there is none other substance, then the sub∣stance of the Bodie and Bloude of our Lorde, whiche is not affected with such Accidentes, as the Scho∣lastical Doctours terme it. VVhiche Doctrine hath alwaies, though not with these precise termes, (176)* 1.3 beene taught, and beleeued from the beginning, and dependeth of the Article of Transubstan∣tiation. For if the substance of Breade and VVine be changed into the Substance of the Bodie and Bloud of our Lorde (177)* 1.4 (which is cōstantly affirmed by al the learned and Ancient Fathers of the Church) it foloweth by a necessarie sequele in nature, and by▪ dri••te of Reason, that then the Accidentes onely remaine. For witnesse and proufe whereof, I wil not let to recite certaine moste manifest sayeinges of the olde, and best approued Doctours.
