How is this comparison out of the matter of the presence of Christs most precious body in the Sacrament, when the Papists say that the ⟨p. 85⟩§1mass is not a sacrifice propitiatory, but because the presence of Christs most precious body being presently there? And yet if this comparison be out of the matter (as you say it is) why do you then wrestle and wrangle with it so much? And do I seem to grant the presence of Christs body in the first part of my comparison, when I do nothing there but rehearse what the Papists do say? But because all this proceeds (which you bring in here out of tune and time) belongeth to the last book, I will pass it over unto the proper place, only by the way touching shortly some notable words.
