M. And what inconvenient findest thou in that opinion?

M. And what inconueniente fyndest thou in that opinion?

Peter. I find not much less therein than in that of Transubstantiation.

Peter. I fynde not muche lesse therein than in that of Transubstantiation.

Math. Thou canst not say at the least but that they which follow it, do take from the Supper the signs of the bread and of the wine, for so much as they join them with the body and the blood of Jesus Christ, the which they signify.

Math. Thou canste not saye at the leaste but that they whiche followe it, doe take from the Supper the signes of the breade and of the wyne, for so much as they ioyne them wyth the bodie and the bloud of Iesus Chryste, the whiche they signifie.

M. What understandest thou by this word of Consubstantiation?

M. What vnderstandest thou by this word of Consubstantiation?

P. As they which have forged the transubstantiation do understand by the same, a changing of substance into an other, even so by the name of consubstantiation, a man may understand the conjunction of divers substances together.

P. As they which haue forged the transubstātiation do vnderstand by the same, a changing of substance into an other, euen so by the name of consubstantiation, a man may vnderstande the coniunction of diuers substances togither.

Of the agreement that is between this opinion & that, of transubstantiation.

Of the agreement that is betwene this opinion & that, of transubstantiation.

M. Declare unto me then wherein they do agree, and wherein they do differ.

M. DEclare vnto me then wherin they do agrée, and wherin they doe differ.

Peter. For the first, if they do understand that the body and the blood of Jesus Christ be with the bread and the wine, in their own nature and substance, and by a natural, corporal and material manner as the bread and the wine are there, they agree therein with the error of transubstantiation.

Peter. For the first, if they doe vnderstande that the bodie and the bloud of Iesus Christe bée wyth the breade and the wine, in their own nature and substance, and by a naturall, corporall and materiall maner as the bread and the wyne are there, they agrée therin with the erroure of transubstantiation.

M. It seemeth to me that they draw well to one point, saving that they make no transubstantiation ⟨p. 321⟩nor change of the bread and of the wine, into the body and blood of Jesus Christ.

M. It séemeth to mée that they drawe well to one poynte, sauing that they make no transubstantiation ⟨p. 321⟩nor chaunge of the breade and of the wine, into the body and bloude of Iesus Christ.

P. Thou seest it plainly, & by that which we have already said, thou mayest well understand, that such a natural and corporal presence of the body and of the blood of Jesus Christ in the Supper, should be clean contrary to the nature of a spiritual nurture, the which is there set forth unto us, and likewise to the man ner of eating of the body and the flesh, and the drinking of the blood of Jesus Christ, according to the which they may be eaten and drunken for spiritual meat & drink.

P. Thou séest it plainely, & by that whiche we haue alredy sayde, thou mayest well vnderstand, that such a naturall and corporall presence of the body and of the bloud of Iesus Christ in the Supper, should be cleane contrary to the nature of a spirituall nouriture, the whiche is there set foorth vnto vs, and likewise to the mā ner of eating of the body and the flesh, and the drinking of the bloud of Iesus Christ, according to the whiche they may be eatē and dronkē for spirituall meate & drinke.

The seventeenth Dialogue is of the communication of Jesus Christ as well in Baptism as in the Supper.

The seauententh Dialogue is of the communication of Iesus Christ as wel in Baptisme as in the Supper.

Whereunto baptism and the signification thereof may serve to give us to understand in what sort it behoveth us to be nourished by the body and blood of Jesus Christ.

VVherevnto baptisme and the signification thereof may serue to giue vs to vnderstand in vvhat sorte it behoueth vs to be nourished by the body and bloud of Iesus Christ.

MATTHEW. I Have well understood that thou hast said that we must be nourished with spiritual meat and nurture into eternal life, and that by a spiritual manner, agreeable to the spiritual birth and life, into the which we are regenerate by baptism, and according to the testimony of God which is set forth unto us in the same concerning our regeneration.

MATHEVV. I Haue well vnderstoode that thou hast sayde that we must be nourished with spirituall meate and nouriture into eternall life, and that by a spirituall maner, agreable to the spirituall birth and life, into ye which we are regenerate by baptisme, and according to the testimonie of God which is set foorth vnto vs in ye same concerning our regeneration.

P. That which thou sayest may serve us very much to the understanding of the matter which we now handle. For thou doest well know that we are not regenerate in baptism, by any corporal or material seed of the body and of the blood of Jesus Christ, nor by any natural manner, as we are naturally begotten by our fathers & mothers.

P. That whiche thou sayest maye serue vs very much to the vnderstanding of the matter which we now hādle. For thou doest wel know that we are not regenerate in baptisme, by any corporall or material séede of the body and of the bloude of Iesus Christe, nor by any naturall manner, as we are naturally begotten by our fathers & mothers.

M. I know well also that we may not enter again into our mothers womb,¹ as Nicodeme said to Jesus christ, to be borne a new once more, as we are already once borne.

M. I know well also that we may not enter againe into our mothers womb,¹ as Nicodeme said to Iesus christ, to be borne a new once more, as we are already once borne.
