Think that the blood of Salvation floweth out of the pure and godly side of Christ, and so coming to it, receive it with pure lips. Wherefore brethren, I pray you and beseech you, let us not be from the church, nor let us not be occupied there with vain communication, but let us stand fearful and trembling, casting down our eyes, lifting up our minds, mourning privily without speech, and rejoicing in our hearts.

These words of Chrysostom do follow immediately, after the other words, which the Papists before rehearsed. Therefore if the Papists will gather of the words by them recited, that there is neither bread nor wine in the sacrament, I may aswell gather of the words that follow, that there is neither priest nor Christs body.

For as in the former sentence, Chrysostom saith, that we may not think what we see bread wine: so in the second sentence he saith, that we may not think that we receive the body of Christ of the priests hands. Wherefore if upon the second sentence (as the Papists them selves will say) it cannot be truly gathered, that in the holy communion there is not the body of Christ ministered by the priest: then must they confess also, that it cannot be well and truly gathered upon the first sentence, that there is no bread nor wine.
