1The Papistical doctrine is also against all our outward senses, called our five wits. For our eyes say,2 they see there bread and wine, our noses smell bread & wine, our mouths taste, and our hands feel bread and wine. And although the articles of our faith be above all our outward senses, so y• we believe things which we can neither see, feel, here, smell, nor taste, yet they be not contrary to our senses, at the lest so contrary, that in such things which we from time ⟨p. 22⟩to time do see, smell, feel, here, and taste, we shall not trust our senses, but believe clean contrary. Christ never made no such article of our faith.
