Good proof hath bin taken that bread remaineth a•ter the consecration. For by the sacrament poisoned there was an Emperor and A bishop of Rome poisoned in what subject should this poison remain, in some subject doubtless, for Aristotle's school will admitted no accidens, to be without his subject, nether admit any accidens to perish without his substance, and when these men that say the mould and rot of the bread is nothing every man that hath his senses knoweth it is a manifestly. For so long it may be kept that it will rune round about the altar, y•a if man had no senses at all and knew the scripture, it were sufficient to prove that bread remained still a•ter the consecration 1. Cor. 11. and there is no papist among them all but will grant this, most foolish and found contradiction some think to be nothing. Force them to answer what it is that corrupteth. What it is that is moulded, then will they say, it is nothing though ye see the vermin engendered of the bred crepe before your face. If this proposition of Aristotle should be disputed an generacio unius sit corruptio alterius. And they would say that the generation of worms in the sacrament were engendered of the corruption of nothing, he would not be able in Aristotle's school to answer unto one argument. Farther it is such a blasphemy against god that every Christian man ought to abhor it to say that ⟨image 16⟩any creature, can have his being of nothing, this is properly the Epitheton of god to be of nothing, but of himself, and if they say god hath made these corruptions in the sacrament of nothing it repugnith the •aythe that we have in the scripture Gonesis 2. Igitur perfectisunt coeli & terra, & omnis ornatus corum. So that a•ter those ui days wherein god mad the matter of all things, sith that time never thing in this world was made of nothing, there fore we must for the reverence and honour of our saith sck a•athere for these putrefactions in the sacrament. It shall be the bread. Say what they will both by the judgment of the scripture and also by reason, as for there terms that they cry, fie, upon such manner of speech and fie upon them, heretics that believe it is but bread and no sacrament as long as it is kept in the pyx, it forceth not god for give them they know not what they say. The devil hath closed there eyes, they have nether judgment of senses, nor reason.
