If that solution will not serve (saith another) we may say, that Chrysostom did not speak of the Vessels of the Lords Cup, or such as were then used at the Lords Table, but of the Vessel used in the Temple in the old Law.—But here Chrysostom speaketh of such Vessels wherein was that which is called the Body of Christ, although' it was not the true Body, saith he, of Christ, but the Mystery of Christs Body. And Erasmus declareth plainly, that this saying of this Writer is none otherwise to be understood.

Yet can I, saith the third Papist, find out a fine and subtle solution for this place, and say, that Christs Body is not contained in those Vessels at the Lords Table as in a place, but as in a Mystery;—Is not this a pretty shift, and a mystical solution? But by the same Solution, then Christs Body is not in the Lords Table, nor in the Priests Hand, nor in his Pyx, and so he is no-where; for they will not say, that he is either here or there, as in a place. This answer pleaseth so well the maker, that he himself, after that he hath plaid with it a little while, and showed the fineness of his wit and eloquence therein, he is contented to give it over, and say—That it is not to be thought that Chrysostom would speak after this fineness or subtlety, and so returneth again to the second answer for his Sheet-Anchor, which is already sufficiently answered.
