Yet can I (saith the third Papist) find out a fine and subtle solution 1for this place, and grant all that yet is said, both allowing here the writer, and also that he meant of the vessels of the Lords Table. For (saith he) the body of Christ is not contained in them, 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 hands, nor in the pyx, and so is he here 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 him self (after he had plaid with it a little while and showed the fineness of his wit and eloquence therein) is content to give it over and say: but it is not to be thought that Chrysostom would speak after this fineness or subtlety: and therefore he returneth again unto the second answer for his shoot anchor, which is sufficiently confuted before. An other short place of Chrysostom I will rehearse, which (if any ⟨p. 24⟩indifferency may be heard) in-plain terms setteth forth the trueth of this matter.
