§ 2. And here again, I cannot say cunningly, but knavishly rather, having falsely related my words, and passing over mine Answer to this very Objection, wherein they challenge us to make the Sacrament nothing but bare bread; which by the instance of the other Sacrament of Baptism, besides other proofs, I show evidently to be otherwise, (as if he thought that like an hare by jumping and wheeling to and fro, he should keep himself safe from being traced and taken, when either he reported ⟨p. 79⟩gross untruths, or dissembled those things that it stood him upon to give answer unto, if he would either make good their cause, or overthrow ours.)
