They objected these things truly; but without just cause then: We object them, though not supposing them to be true, yet finding them to follow necessarily from their carnal conceits, upon just ground against them. And belike he findeth himself and his, guilty of exposing & subjecting Christ glorious body (a thing most impious) to such indignities a new.
