b Surely there is great reason herein. And besides, there is also, a For, which declareth the same. For, sith there remaineth no wine, but blood, there is no reason why water should be intermeddled with blood. Howbeit, if water had ben mixed with the wine, before the wine had been turned into blood, no doubt of it, but that the water had been transubstantiated into blood with the wine, if there had been a discreet mixture of them, as hath been before declared: although the questionary Doctors & schoolmen, have wonderfully disputed about this matter. But they which are of the soundest opinion, have made a full resolution, That like as holy water, which is put amongest other water, maketh all the rest of the water, holy: even so doth the wine which is put amongest the water, turn the same water into wine, if so be there be no greater quantity of water, then is of wine. And therefore, were all these goodly instructions and cautels heretofore set down concerning this matter, which might like wise as well serve for the work of miracles, as the hosts many times served, by turning of water into wine. For, they were not to pour in so much water, as that it might easily be discerned to be so. Howbeit, to return to the transubstantiation of the water, it is to be noted, that that is two ways to be considered of: for, it must first, be converted into wine, and after that, from wine, into blood: for else, it is impossible to be said, to be transubstantiated.
