This gloss is like a gloss of a lawyer, upon a decree, the text whereof beginning thus: Statuimus, that is, We decree. The gloss of the Lawyer there (after many other pretty shifts there set forth) which he thinketh will not well serve to his purpose, and therefore at the last to clear the matter, he saith thus: after the mind of one Lawyer. Vel dic (saith he) Statuimus id est, abrogamus, that is: 1or expound we do decree, that is, we abrogate or disannul. Is not this a goodly, and worthy gloss? who will not say, but he is worthy in the law, to be retained of counsel, that can gloss so well, and find in a matter of difficulty, such fine shifts? And yet this is the law, or at least the gloss of the law. And therefore who can tell, what peril a man may incur to speak against it except he were a lawyer indeed, which can keep him self out of the briers what wind soever blow.

Hitherto ye have heard three writers of the Greek Church, not all what they do say: for that were a labour too great for to gather, and too tedious for the Reader: But one or two places of every one, the which how plain, how full, and how clear they be against the error of Transubstantiation, I refer it to the judgement of the indifferent Reader.
