And I bear not the catholic church in hand (as you report of me) that it saith and teacheth, that whole Christ is in every part of the bread consecrated,1 but I say that the Papists so teach. And because you deny it, read the chief pillars of the Papists, Duns, and Thomas de Aquino, which the Papists call S. Thomas, who say, that Christ is whole under every part of the forms of bread and wine, not only when the host is broken, but when it is whole also. And there is no distance (saith he) of parts, one from an other, as of one eye from another or of the eye from the ear, or the head from the feet. These be Thomas words.2 Christus totus est sub qualibit part specicrū panis & vini, non solū cū frangitur hostia, sed etiā cū integra manet. Nec est distantia partiū ab innicē, ut oculi ab oculo, aut oculi ab aure, eut capitis à pedibus, sicut est in alijs corporibus orgameis. Talis enim distantia est in ipso corpore Christi vero, sed non prout est in hoc Sacra•ento. And not only the Papists do thus write and teach but the Pope himself, Innocentius the third.3 And so bear I in hand, or report of the Papists nothing, but that which they say indeed.
