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.
These wordes of Chrisostom do follow immediately, after the other words, which the Papistes before rehersed. Therfore if the Papistes will gather of the wordes by them recited, that there is neither bread nor wine in the sacrament, I may aswell gather of the wordes that follow, that there is neither priest nor Christes 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.
For as in the former sentence, Chrisostome sayth, that we may not thinke what we see bread wine: so in the second sentence he sayth, that we may not thinke that we receaue the body of Christ of the priestes handes. Wherfore if vpon the second sentence (as the Papists them selues will say) it cannot be truly gathered, that in the holy communion there is not the body of Christ ministred by the priest: then must they confesse also, that it cannot be well and truely gathered vpon the first sentence, that there is no bread nor wine.
