How be it, in deed these words of Christ in the sixth of S. John, belong only to the Spiritual Eating, and drinking of Christs Body, and Blood, (that is wrought, not by the Mouthe, but only by Faith) and nothing to the outward Ministration of the Sacrament.1 Your own Doctor Nicolas Lyra saith, Haec verba nihil directè pertinent ad Sacramentalem, vel Corporalem Manducationem. Nam hoc verbum dictum fuit, antequam Sacramentum Eucharistiae esset institutum. Ex illa igitur Litera de Sacramentali Communione non potest fieri Argumentum efficax: These Words of Christ in the sixth Chapter of S. John, directly pertain nothing to the Sacramental, or Corporal Eating. For these words were spoken long before the Sacrament was ordained. Therefore of this place there can be made no good sufficient Argument, touching the Sacramental Communion. You say, your proof, taken ⟨p. 481⟩of these words is sufficient, 2& therewith ye deceive the Ignorant. Lyra saith, It is not sufficient. Now let your indifferent Reader Judge, whether of you two is deceived.
