Before you come to answer this argument, according to your old wont you speak and spend much idle talk, wherein nothing asketh answer, but that by conference ⟨p. 177⟩of other places you would weaken the force of the word, [Greek or Hebrew] which Saint Luke useth in reporting S. Peters words. For you say that this proveth Christs body to be contained in heaven no more, then Saint Luke, writing that Samaria received the word of God,1 affirmeth the word of God was contained in Samaria. An objection doubtless that came from a deep understanding: to make the word of God, which was to be preached over the whole world, of like nature with a body, which must be contained in one place. If you can see any thing, you may soon see that the word, receive, is otherwise taken here, as also in the two other places, which you allege of receiving children and Apostles in Christs name. Saint Peter speaketh of local receiving or containing: the other places understand a receiving of relief, or entertainment. Your reproaches, as they well become your person, so being usual, require no answer, but are to be contemned.
Before you come to answere this argument, according to your olde wont you speake and spend much idle talke, wherein nothing asketh answere, but that by conference ⟨p. 177⟩of other places you would weaken the force of the word, 〈non-Latin alphabet〉 which Sainct Luke vseth in reporting S. Peters wordes. For you saie that this prooueth Christs bodie to be contained in heauen no more, then Saint Luke, writing that Samaria receiued the word of God,1 affirmeth the word of God was contained in Samaria. An obiection doubtles that came from a deepe vnderstanding: to make the word of God, which was to be preached ouer the wholl world, of like nature with a bodie, which must be contained in one place. If you can see anie thing, you may soone see that the word, receiue, is otherwise taken here, as also in the two other places, which you alledge of receiuing children and Apostles in Christs name. Saint Peter speaketh of locall receiuing or containing: the other places vnderstand a receiuing of reliefe, or entertainement. Your reproches, as they well become your person, so being vsuall, require no answere, but are to be contemned.
