But, to return to that we have in hand: whether the bread and wine in the Sacrament remain in their proper nature. Yes verily: for so is it avouched by our Saviour, by Saint Paul, by Ignatius, Justinus, Irenaeus, Origen, Dionysius, ⟨image 156⟩Cyprian, Ambrose, Chrysostom, Augustine, Gelasius, Theodoretus, Cirillus, Bertramus, and Rabanus.

I seek not to astonish you, by bringing in such a heap of Authors: nor yet to seek mine own glory thereby, God is my witness, and his Christ. If I would seek mine own commodity, I should hold my peace, and not unfold these errors, wherewith the Church of God hath bin disquieted these late years. As for glory, I have none in these things: shame come upon them, that seek the glory and commendation of men: our glory is to discharge our conscience, and to speak the truth, that we may be blameless in the day of our Lord.
