Surely this man hath a notable vain in disputing and arguing: he can prove any thing, if you do but grant him all that he saith. The British Inhabitants (saith he) here presently after the Apostles time held Transubstantiation then, as we do now at Rome. Whereas he well knoweth that *for above 1000. years after Christ their Transubstantiation was not generally held; scarce heard of for far more then half that time. Neither is he able to produce any title of true Antiquity to show, that it was then held here.
