And yet to the said true saying, you have joined an other untruth, & have yoked them both together in one sentence.3 For when Christ had taught of the eating of him, being the bread descended from heaven there was no murmuring thereat, (say you.) Which your saying I can not but wonder at, to see you so far deceived in a matter so plain and manifest.2 And if I had spoken such an evident and manifest untruth, I doubt not but it should have been spoken of to Rome gates. For the text saith there plainly, Murmur abant Judaei de illo, qoud dixisset: Ego sum panis vinus, qui de coelo descendi: 3The Jews murmured at him because he said, I am the bread of life that came from heaven. But when you wrote this, it seemeth you looked a little to low and should have looked higher.
