Thus you see we need to suborn no witnesses, for every word in this Text which you seem to allege for Transubstantiation, doth make against Transubstantiation, whereby if Antichrist doth signify those which are against Christ, you see who may be called Antichrist. There is no question in Popery (except Purgatory the Popes Publican and Tasker) about which the Papists are at such civil Wars among themselves, as about this Transubstantiation. They cannot tell when the change beginneth, nor what manner of change it is, nor how long the change continueth: Some hang one way, and some another, like the Midianites, which fought one against another. And no 1marvel though their Consciences stagger about it; for to show you the right Father of it, it was one of the Dreams of Innocentius the Third, in the Year of our Lord 1215. So many Years passed before Transubstantiation was named, and then a Pope 2set it first on foot: so it came out of Rome, the Mother of all Heresies, and for want of Scriptures, hath been defended with Fire and Sword, and swallowed more Martyrs than all the gulfs of the Papal Sea beside,
