Than forth goeth this Papist with his preface, and saith,1 that these words (This is my body that shall be given to death for you) no man can truly understand of bread. And his proof thereof is this, because that ⟨p. 398⟩bread was not crucified for us.2 First here he maketh a lye of Christ. For Christ said not (as this papist allegeth.) This is my body, which shall be given to death for you, but only he saith: This is my body which is given for you, which words some understand not of the giving of the body of Christ to death, but of the breaking and giving of bread to his apostles as S. Paul said:3 The bread which we break. &c.
