Many other fabulous miracles of the like stamp are rife in popish stories, counterfeited & forged under divers and sundry names, some referred to Gregory, some to Paschasius, and to other moe, which to recite all, would fill a whole sea full of lies & fables. Among many,1 one is thus invented of Paschasius. There was a Priest, saith he, of Almain, named Plegildus, who did see and handle with his hands, visibly the shape of a child upon the altar & so after he had embraced and kissed him, it returned again to the likeness of bread, as he should come to the receiving thereof. This miracle when it was objected against Berē garius, he merely deriding the blind fable, answered in these words: Speciosa inquit, pax nebulonis, ut cui oris praeberet basium, eo dentium in ferret exitium. That is, A goodly peace quoth he of a false varlet, that whom he before kissed with his mouth, by & by he goeth about to tear him with •is teeth.
