Because this comparison (as you say) is like the other, therefore it is fully answered before in the other comparisons. And here yet again, it is to be noted, that in all these 4. comparisons you approve and allow for truth, §2the second part of the comparison which we say.1 And where you say that Christ undoubtedly remaineth in the man that worthily receiveth the sacrament, so long as that man remaineth a member of Christ. How agreeth this with the common saying of all the Papists, that Christ is contained under the forms of bread and wine, and remaineth there no longer then the forms of bread and wine remain? Wherefore in this point all the whole route of the Papists will condemn for untruth, that which you so constantly affirm to be undoubtedly true.
BEcause this comparison (as you say) is like the other, therfore it is fully answered before in the other comparisons. And here yet agayn, it is to be noted, that in all these 4. comparisons you approue and allow for truth, §2the second parte of the comparison which we say.1 And where you say that Christ vndoubtedly remayneth in the man that worthely receaueth the sacrament, so long as that man remaineth a member of Christ. How agreeth this with the common saying of all the Papistes, that Christ is conteyned vnder the formes of bread and wine, and remayneth there no longer then the formes of bread and wine remain? Wherefore in this point all the wholl route of the Papistes will condemne for vntruth, that which you so constantly affirme to be vndoubtedly true.
