Iewel. 239.

VVhat one vvorde speaketh Theophylact either of your Transubstātia∣tiation, or of your Real Presence, or of your corporal, and fleshly eating?

Harding.

Can there be any greater impudencie in the earth, then to save, that Theophylact speaketh not one word, of these pointes? Beside al that I haue alredy brought out of Theo¦phylact in my Confutation, how plaine is he, where he writeth thus vpon S. Matthew? Ineffabili operatione trāsi¦formatur, etiam si nobis videatur panis, quoniā infirmi sumus,

et abhorremus crudas carnes comedere, maximè hominis car∣nem. Et ideo panis quidem apparet, sed re vera caro est. It is transfourmed by an vnspeakeable operation, although it seeme bread to vs, bicause we are weaklinges, and do ab∣horre to eate rawe fleshe, specially the flesh of man: And therfore it appeareth to be bread, but in deede it is flesh. Can these woordes be eluded, or shifted by your phrases, and figuratiue speaches? It seemeth bread, but in deede it is flesh, saith he, what is then become of the bread? It is transfourmed, or made ouer into another thing. Into what other thing, but into the flesh of Christ? And why remaineth the fourme of Breade, whereas in deede it is made fleshe? Bicause (saith he) we abhorre to eate rawe flesh, and specially mannes flesh. And yet speaketh not Theophylact one word of Transubstantiation, or of the Real Presence of Christes flesh? Many other places in him are as plaine as this, but he that hath such a face, as to denie this one, wil not be moued, if we bring forth neuer so many. Hauing thus abused Theophylact, perhappes he wil seme for antiquities sake to beare more reuerence to∣wards S. Ambrose, whom here he now taketh in hand.
