In this sort is the Bread Christs Body: not verily, and in deed: but, as S. Augustine saith, after a certain phrase, or manner of speech. And so is it noted even in your own Gloss,1 Vocatur Corpus Christi, id est, Significat Corpus Christi: The Breade is called the Body of Christ: that is to say, The Bread Signifieth the Body of Christ. Thus we deny not Christs Words, M. Harding: But we deny the fond, and fantastical senses, that you have imagined of Christs Words. Therefore where you allege these words, as spoken by S.

Thus wée denie not Christes Woordes, M. Hardinge: But we denie the fonde, and fantastical senses, that you haue imagined of Christes VVoordes. Therefore where you allege these woordes, as spoken by S. Augustine, He is a burner of the Scriptures, that consenteth not vnto the Scriptures, Yée might haue remembred, 2
