XIII. It is a Miracle that the Abassines, Armenians, Greeks, Protestants, yea, any that they call Schismatics, and Heretics,1 who do not intend to work any Miracle, nor believe Transubstantiation, do yet work Miracles in each Sacramental administration of the Eucharist, not only without their knowledge, but contrary to their belief, and against their wills: For they say, that even such mens consecration is effectual.

XIV. Either their Priests consecration worketh all these Miracles, when they intend it not, 1(as if they speak the words in jest or scorn, or in Infidelity,) or only when they intend it. If the first be said, it is a Miracle of Miracles, that any Priest can work so many and great Miracles by a jest or scorn—If not, then all the business is come to nothing, and no one but the Priest knoweth whether there be any such Miracle at all, and whether ever he eat the flesh of Christ: And so it will be in the power of the Priest to deceive and damn all the people, according to the Papists exposition of Christs words, Joh. 6. Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you.
