Smith. I have answered, that it is none of Gods order, neither any Sacrament, but mans own vain invention, and showed him the Lords institution. But when he was so earnest before the audience, declaring that we knew nothing, bringing out his Hoc est corpus meum, to lay in my Dish, I proved before the audience, that it was a dead God, declaring the distinction appointed between the two creatures of bread and wine, and that a body with out blood hath no life. At which Harpsfield found himself much offended, and took the tale out of my Lords mouth, saying:
Smith. I haue aunsweared, that it is none of Gods order, neither any Sacrament, but mans owne vayne inuention, and shewed him the Lordes institution. But when he was so earnest before the audiēce, declaring that we knew nothing, brynging out his Hoc est corpus meum, to laye in my Dishe, I prooued before the audience, that it was a dead God, declaring the destinction appoynted betwene the two creatures of bread and wine, and that a body with out bloud hath no life. At which Harpsfield found himselfe much offended, and tooke the tale out of my Lords mouth, saying:
Harps. I will approve by the Scriptures, that ye blaspheme God in so saying: for it is given in two parts, because there is two things showed, that is to say his body and his Passion, as saith S. Paul: and therefore is the bread his body, and the wine the representation of his death and blood shedding.
Harps. I will approoue by the Scriptures, that ye blaspheme God in so saying: for it is geuen in two partes, because there is two thinges shewed, that is to saye his body and his Passion, as sayth S. Paule: and therefore is the bread his body, and the wine the representatiō of his death and bloud shedding.
Smith. Ye falsify the word, and rack it to serve your purpose. For the wine was not only the showing of his passion, but the bread also: for our Saviour saith: So oft as ye do this, do it in remembrance of me. And S. Paul saith: So oft as ye eat of this bread, and drink of this cup, ye shall show the Lords death till he come. And here is as much reverence given to the one, as to the other.
