b Nycholas de Plove manifestly sayeth,1 That Jesus Christ made no cross, whenas he blessed & consecrated aswell the bread as the wine in the supper, because there was no virtue in the cross before such time as he had suffered his passion thereon. And therefore he expoundeth it thus. He blessed it (saith he) that is to say, he gave the power of blessing unto his words, to the end the bread & wine might be transubstantiated into the body & blood. Here we see an exposition greatly agreeing with the words of our Saviour Jesus Christ, if we will give credit to this dreaming foolish doctor. And again, the power which these Magicians attribute unto the cross after the passion, greatly savoureth of their Magical art. For is not this power in Christ Jesus crucified, in whom consisteth all power & virtue, & not in the cross, nor yet in the signs thereof which they make with their hands, as if a man should beat flies away, or else play the fencer?
b Nycholas de Ploue manifestly sayeth,1 That Iesus Christ made no crosse, whenas he blessed & consecrated aswell the bread as the wine in the supper, because there was no vertue in the crosse before such time as he had suffred his passiō theron. And therefore he expoundeth it thus. He blessed it (sayth he) that is to say, he gaue the power of blessing vnto his wordes, to the ende the bread & wine might be transubstantiated into the body & blood. Here we see an exposition greatly agreing with the wordes of our Sauiour Iesus Christ, if we wil giue credite to this dreaming foolish doctor. And againe, the power which these Magiciās attribute vnto the crosse after the passion, greatly sauoureth of their Magicall arte. For is not this power in Christ Iesus crucified, in whome consisteth all power & vertue, & not in the crosse, nor yet in the signes thereof which they make with their hands, as if a man should beate flyes away, or els play the fencer?
