These words of Chrysostom do follow immediately, after the other words, which the Papists before rehearsed. Therefore if the Papists will gather of the words by them recited, that there is neither bread nor wine in the sacrament, I may aswell gather of the words that follow, that there is neither priest nor Christs body.
These wordes of Chrysostome do folowe immediatly, after the other woordes, whiche the Papistes before rehersed. Therfore if the Papistes wil gather of the wordes by them recited, that there is neither bread nor wyne in the sacrament, I may aswell gather of the woordes that folowe, that there is neither priest nor Christes body.
For as in the former sentence, Chrysostom saith, that we may not think, that we see bread & wine: so in the second sentence he saith, that we may not think, that we receive the body of Christ of the priests hands. Wherefore if upon the second sentence (as the Papists them selves will say) it can not be truly gathered, that in the holy Communion there is not the body of ⟨image 42⟩Christ ministered by the priest: then must they confess also, that it can not be well and truly gathered upon the first sentence, that there is no bread nor wine.
For as in the former sentence, Chrysostome sayth, that we may not thinke, that we see bread & wyne: so in the second sentēce he sayth, that we may not thynke, that wee receyue the body of Christ of the priestes handes. Wherfore if vpon the second sentence (as the Papistes them selues wyll say) it can not be truely gathered, that in the holy Communion there is not the body of ⟨image 42⟩Christ ministered by the priest: then must they confesse also, that it can not bee well and truely gathered vpon the fyrst sentence, that there is no bread nor wyne.
