Yet can I saith the third papist find out a fine and a subtle solution for this place / and grant all that yet is said / both allowing here the writer / and also that he meant of the vessels of the Lords table:1 For saith he the body of Christ is not contained in them at the Lords table / as in a place / but as in a mystery. Is not this a pretty shift / and a mystical solution. But by the same solution then Christs body is not in the Lords table / nor in the priests hand / nor in the pyx / and soe he is here no where / For they will not say that he is either here / or there / as in a place. This answer pleaseth so well the maker ⟨image 60⟩/ that he himself / after he had played with it a little while / and showed the finesse of his wit / and eloquence therein / he is contented to give it over / and say: But it is not to be thought that Chrysostom would speak after this finesse or subtlety / and therefore he returneth again to the second answer for his shoot anchor which is sufficiently confuted before.
Yet can I saith the thirde papist finde out a fine and a subtill solution for this place / and graunt all that yet is saide / both alowing here the writer / and also that he mente of the vesselles of the Lordes table:1 For saith he the body of Christe is not conteined in them at the Lordes table / as in a place / but as in a misterie. Is not this a pretie shefte / and a mistical solution. But by the same solution then Christs bodie is not in the Lordes table / nor in the priestes hande / nor in the pixe / and soe he is here no where / For they will not saie that he is either here / or ther / as in a place. This answere pleaseth so wel the maker ⟨image 60⟩/ that he hymselfe / after he hadde played with it a litle whyle / and shewed the finesse of his witte / and eloquence therin / he is contented to geue it ouer / and saye: But it is not to be thoughte that Chrisostome woulde speake after this finesse or subteltie / and therefore he returneth againe to the seconde aunsweare for hys shootte anker whiche is sufficientlye confuted before.
