2. He thought it before ma most base and unworthy thing, to imagine that Christ should have hid himself in a corner from the Jews, when they would have stoned him in the Temple: (as if he must of necessity either so do, or else make his body to be for the present as they say it is now in the Eucharist) yet here he telleth us, that he hideth himself in the Sacrament; not in a corner of the Temple, but in a little round wafer-cake, or in the Pyx (at least) that reserveth it, so long now and then, for want of good looking to, that it breedeth pretty little quick creatures, as good a God every one of them, as any crumb of the host was, of which they were bred. But as nour Saviour forewarned us; though they tell us that Christ is hid in the Pyx, or in some other secret place, yet we little believe them. We may rather believe that the wiser and learneder sort among them, hardly believe themselves herein.
