Secondly, how senseless their Doctrine of Transubstantiation is; The Church of Rome teacheth, and the Papists senselessly are to believe, That the Bread after Consecration is the very Body of Christ. And yet they that Eat that Bread, see it is Bread, after the Consecration, yea they taste and know it is Bread still, whilst they are eating of it: And thus they delude their Senses by a fond and false Belief.

And the Practice is also damnable; For the Papists eating that Bread with a firm Belief, that it is not Bread, but the Body of Christ, do eat that Bread and drink that Cup unworthily, and so eat and drink their own damnation, 1 Cor. 11.29.
