And where the gloss saith / that the proof out off S. Paul that it is no indifferent thing For men to cone either clothed or naked is superfluous: I marvel that he seeth not that it is directly against that he setteth down which is / that it can not be showed out of the scripture either by plain words or by necessary collection, that men and women ought not to come naked unto the communion. it was peradventure more then he would have had / but his absurd assertion required it. After he saith he knoweth it is necessary to comeliness
