But I hope when this Bishop of Flanders book cometh to be reprinted again, they will take that course with him, (if they have not left their old guise) that they have done formerly with many others; to wipe out of him whatsoever in this kind or any other, either maketh directly against them, or discovereth the weakness of such grounds as they labour to build their gross errors upon. Of which their false and fraudulent dealing, it shall not be amiss to insert one Example by the way; the rather, because it concerneth the point here debated. Whereas therefore in the time of Carolus Calvus King of France and Emperor, above 800. years since, there was gmuch disputation and dissension in the Church about the doctrine of the Sacrament, one Bertram a man hof great ⟨p. 39⟩note in those times both for life and learning, willed by the Emperor to declare his judgement therein, wrote a learned discourse thereof, wherein he confirmeth by the testimonies of Augustine, Ambrose, and others of the Ancients, the very same that we now hold: and among other things affirmeth that ithere is as great difference between Christs body that was borne of the Virgin Mary, and that which is daily received with the month in the Sacrament, as there is between the pledge, and that for which the pledge is given, between the image, and that whereof it is an image, and between the type and the truth. Now the Popish purgers authorised to main and mangle Authors, as well old as new, cum privilegio, without control, lighting among others on this book of Bertram's, use these words of it, and of their own confessed courses in this kind. kAlbeit (say they) we make no great reckoning of this book, and therefore should not greatly care if it were utterly lost, and were no where to be had; (I cannot blame them if they wish it, and many other the like, burnt and abolished) yet seeing that the book hath been oft printed, and reprinted, hath been read of very many, is known commonly by the name of a book forbidden, and the Heretics by diverse Catalogues of Books prohibited, are sure there is such an one, &c.
But I hope when this Bishop of Flanders booke commeth to be reprinted againe, they will take that course with him, (if they haue not leaft their old guise) that they haue done formerly with many others; to wipe out of him whatsoeuer in this kinde or any other, either maketh directly against them, or discouereth the weakenesse of such grounds as they labour to build their grosse errors vpon. Of which their false and fradulent dealing, it shal not be amisse to insert one Example by the way; the rather, because it concerneth the point here debated. Whereas therefore in the time of Carolus Calvus King of France and Emperour, aboue 800. yeeres since, there was gmuch disputation and dissension in the Church about the doctrine of the Sacrament, one Bertram a man hof great ⟨p. 39⟩note in those times both for life and learning, willed by the Emperour to declare his iudgement therein, wrote a learned discourse thereof, wherein hee confimeth by the testimonies of Augustine, Ambrose, and others of the Ancients, the very same that we now hold: and among other things affirmeth that ithere is as great difference between Christs bodie that was borne of the Virgin Mary, and that which is dayly receiued with the month in the Sacrament, as there is betweene the pledge, and that for which the pledge is giuen, betweene the image, and that whereof it is an image, and betweene the type and the truth.
