3. He telleth us here that Christ hideth himself in the Sacrament, and a little before that being not quantitatively and corporally extended therein, he is not touched nor altered with any corporal action done about it. If he be hid there, how saith Bellarmine, that ohe is there visibly upon the board? Or if he be neither seen nor touched there, why would he make us believe that Chrysostom saith, that we do see him, and touch him, and handle him there? Or how saith he a little after that Christ, as a loving Spouse, doth there visit and embrace us? It is true indeed that their Priests use much wanton dalliance with their breaden ⟨p. 196⟩God, while they make the poor people like silly idiots, adore him, and like Ixion for a substance embrace a mere shadow.
