If this be not enough to batter the ruins of this upstart heresy, I will come to interrogatories, and see whether they have learned it by rote, or by reason. If they ground their Transubstantiation upon these words of Christ 1This is my body, which he spake to his Disciples, I ask them, whether they receive that body ⟨image 87⟩which was mortal, or that body which is glorified, because one of 2these bodies they must needs receive, either his mortal body, or his glorified body. If they say, that it is his mortal body, the mortal body will not profit them: for you see that mortal food is but for this mortal life, neither hath Christ a mortal body now to communicate unto them, because it is changed to an immortal body, therefore they can not receive the mortal body, because Christ hath not a mortal body to give them. If they say that they receive his glorified body, then they must fly from this text, for at that time Christ had no glorified body.

If they ground their Transubstantiation vpō these words of Christ 1This is my body, which he spake to his Disciples, I aske them, whether they receyue that body ⟨image 87⟩which was mortall, or that body which is glorified, because one of 2these bodyes they must needes receyue, eyther his mortall body, or his glorified body. If they say, that it is his mortall body, the mortall body wil not profit them: for you see that mortall foode is but for this mortall life, neyther hath Christ a mortall body now to communicate vnto them, because it is chaunged to an immortall body, therefore they can not receyue the mortall bodie, because Christ hath not a mortall body to giue them. If they say that they receyue his glorified body, then they must flie from this text, for at that time Christ had no glorified body.
