Now to the second. What the Sacrament is. If we shall ask our eyes,§2 our nose, our mouth, our taste,1 our hands, and the reason of man: they will all make a consonant answer, that it is bread and wine. And verily, herein they speak the truth, and lye not; as by many things may be proved, although the Papists prate their pleasure to the contrary.

And here, my dearly beloved, I think I shall not be either tedious ⟨p. 90⟩or unprofitable unto you, if I tarry a little in showing this verity, that the substance of bread and wine remain in the Sacrament, after the words of consecration (as they call them) be spoken. Whereby we may learn what shameless beasts they be, which would enforce men to believe Transubstantiation, which is an error: whereupon in a manner,1 dependeth all Popery; for it is the stay of their Priest-hood, which is neither after the order of Aaron, nor after the order of Melchizedek: but after the order of Baal, which thing is something seen by their number. For the false Prophets and Priests of Baal were always many mo in number, when the wicked were in authority, then the true Priests and Prophets of the Lord, as the holy Histories of the Bible do teach.
