IN this comparison I am glad that at the last we be come so near together,1 §1for you be almost right heartily welcome home, and I pray you let us shake hands together. For we be agreed (as me seemeth) that Christs body is present, and the same body that suffered: and we be agreed also of the manner of his presence. For you say that the body of Christ is not present, but after a spiritual manner, and so say I also. And if there be any difference between us two, it is but a little and in this point only: That I say, that Christ is but spiritually in the ministration of the Sacrament, and you say, that he is but after a spiritual manner in the Sacrament. And yet you say, that he is corporally in the Sacrament, as who should say, that there were a difference between spiritually, and a spiritual manner: And that it were not all one, to say that Christ is there only after a spiritual manner, and not only spiritually.
