With all the poisoned doctrines wherewith that great read dragon hath made drunken the kings and inhabitants of the earth; with the confutations of them together with all his traitorous practises and designs, against all Christian princes to this day, especially against our late Queen Elizabeth of famous memory, and our most religious Sovereign Lord King James.

In man he is for his own sake, not for a time but for ever, as it is written, Qu• manducat hunc panem, vivat in aeternum.
They asked him againe, whether Christ was not aswell in them that receiue the Sacrament, as in the Sacrament before it was receiued, and why it should not be worshipped as well in the brest of the receiuer, as before it is receiued, seeing •e is in a more perfect manner in •an then in the Sacrament, in it he is but for a time, not for the sacrament s•ke, but f•r mans sake. In man he is for his owne sake, not for a time but for euer, as it is written, Qu• manducat hunc panem, viuat in aeternum.
