1. We take what he granteth. Christs body is now glorious and impassible: and therefore not subject unto such indignities, as these creatures are: and the one consequently is not the other. Yea, is Christs body it self impassible? What is it then, that (as Origen speaketh) goeth into the draught? &c. which this Defendant taketh no notice of, because he knoweth not what to say to it. Or let him resolve what those ashes, that they will to be reserved for relics or what those mites are made of, that breed in the consecrated bread, when either they burn it, and so deal with it as they do with Heretics, or reserve it over long.

But is he come to that now, Christ is spiritually in the Sacrament? What is become (I marvel) of that carnal and corporal presence then, that they prate so much of? and for want whereof they so much vilify the Protestantical Communion? Or what ⟨p. 192⟩is the reason why he could not endure to hear, that those words of our Saviour, of eating his flesh, John 6. should be spiritually understood?
