A third answer you make out of Chrysostom, 1who surely answereth nothing at all for you? He exhorteth that we believe Christs words, This is my body, to be true,2 although we see not his body with our eyes. And who confesseth not this? we grant that the bread is Christs body, as ⟨p. 186⟩Christ said, who ever said the truth. But the meaning is, that the bread is a sacrament of Christs body,3 as S. Chrysostom in the same homily twice or thrice in plain speech affirmeth: not that the bread is changed into Christs natural body, which Chrysostom never once dreamed of. And that you may perceive he meant no transubstantiation, the same he said of this sacrament, he also saith by and by of baptism: wherein your selves accord with us, that no transubstantiation is wrought. As Christ is in the supper, so is he in baptism: invisibly, mystically, truly in both: carnally, bodily, really in neither. Chrysostom hath spoken never a word for you.
A third answere you make out of Chrysostome, 1who surelie answereth nothing at all for you? He exhorteth that we beleeue Christes words, This is my bodie, to be true,2 although we see not his bodie with our eyes. And whoe confesseth not this? we graunt that the bread is Christes bodie, as ⟨p. 186⟩Christ said, whoe euer said the truth. But the meaning is, that the bread is a sacrament of Christes bodie,3 as S. Chrysostome in the same homilie twise or thrise in plain speach affirmeth: not that the bread is chaunged into Christes naturall bodie, which Chrysostome neuer once dreamed of. And that you may perceiue he meant no transsubstantiation, the same he said of this sacrament, he also saith by and by of baptisme: wherein your selues accord with vs, that no transsubstantiation is wrought. As Christ is in the supper, so is he in baptisme: inuisiblie, mystically, truelie in both: carnallie, bodilie, reallie in neither. Chrysostome hath spoken neuer a worde for you.
