Answ. 1. The Prelatic Protestant and the Puritan differ not at all about the real presence of Christs body in the Sacrament, as I have showed you elsewhere. What need you more proof than King Edwards old Rubric against the Real Presence in a gross sense, lately restored to the Liturgy. And as for Dr. Cousins words and book, I again tell you, all the Doctors of the Roman Church ⟨p. 61⟩are never able to answer his full proof that Transubstantiation is a late innovation; and none of the doctrine of the ancient Churches. We challenge you all to give any reasonable answer to that book: And you still Cunningly balk the main Controversy between us and you, which is not whether Christs Body be there, but whether Bread and Wine be there. For I have told you, 1. That we who know not how far a Glorified Spiritual Body is extensive and invisible to us, cannot tell you where it is present or absent, no more than of an Angel. 2. But we all hold, as a piece of Plate or Silver Bars, is really and truly turned into the Kings Coin, so the Bread and Wine is really and truly turned into Christs Sacramental Body and Blood; and yet one is Silver and the other is Bread and Wine still: The change is true, but Relative by its Separation to that holy use: as a Common person may be Really Changed into a King, or a Lord, or a Judge, or a Captain, or a Bishop, or a Doctor, and yet be a man still. This real change we all Confess. But the question is, whether there be no Bread.
