And this, say they, is very meet in this mystery, that that which began with the miracle, shall end in a miracle.
And this, say they, is very meet in this misterye, that that which began with the miracle, shall ende in a miracle.
If I had not red this fantasy I would scarcely have believed, that any learned man ever would have set forth such a foolish ⟨p. 22⟩fantasy: which not only lacketh all ground, either of Gods word, reason, or of any ancient writer, but also is clean contrary to the common rules of school divinity: which is, that no miracle is to be affirmed and put without necessity. And although for their former miracle, which is their Transubstantiation, they have some colour, though it be but vain, saying it is done by the power and virtue of these words of Christ, This is my body: yet to make this second miracle of returning the material substance again they have no colour at all. Or else I pray them show me, by what words of Christ is the second miracle wrought.
