New. I will promise you that seemeth to me a very great heresy: for heaven and earth are not able to contain the divine power of God, for it is in all places, as here and in every place: and yet ye will say, that where soever the deity is, there is also the humanity: and so ye will make him no body, but a fantastical body, and not a body in deed.
New. I will promise you that seemeth to me a very great heresie: for heauen and earth are not able to conteine the diuine power of God, for it is in all places, as here and in euery place: and yet ye will say, that where soeuer the deitie is, there is also the humnanitie: and so ye wil make him no body, but a phantasticall body, and not a body in deede.
Thornton. Nay, we do not say he is in all places, as the deity is, but if it please him, he may be in all places with the deity.
Thornton. Nay, we do not say he is in al places, as the deitie is, but if it please him, he may be in all places with the deitie.
New. I promise you that it seemeth to me as great an heresy as ever I heard of in my life,1 and I dare not grant it, least I should deny Christ to be a very man, and that were against all the scriptures.
New. I promise you that it seemeth to me as great an heresie as euer I heard of in my life,1 and I dare not graunt it, least I shoulde deny Christ to be a very man, and that were agaynst all the scriptures.
Thornton. Tush, what shall we stand reasoning with him? I dare say he doth not believe, that Christ came out of his mother, not opening the matrice. Do you believe that Christ rose from death and came through the stone?
Thornton. Tushe, what shall we stande reasoning wyth him? I dare say he doth not beleeue, that Christ came out of his mother, not opening the matrice. Doe you beleue that Christ rose from death and came through the stone?
New. I do believe that Christ rose from death: But I do not believe that he came through the stone, neither doth the scripture so say.
New. I doe beleue that Christ rose from death: But I doe not beleue that he came through the stone, neither doth the scripture so say.
Thornton. Lo, how say you, he doth not believe that christ came through the stone: And if he doth not believe this, how shall he believe the other? If he could believe this, it were easy for him to believe the other.
Thornton. Loe, how say you, he doth not beleue that chryst came through ye stone: And if he doth not beleue this, how shall he beleue the other? If he could beleue this, it wer easie for him to beleue the other.
New. The scripture doth not say he went through the stone, but it saith the Angels of God,1 came down and rolled away the stone, and for fear of him: the keepers became even as dead men.
New. The scripture doth not say he went through ye stone, but it saith the Angels of God,1 came downe and roled away ye stone, and for feare of him: the keepers became euen as dead men.
Thornt. A fool, fool, that was because the women should see that he was risen again from death.
Thornt. A foole, foole, that was because the women shuld see that he was risen agayne from death.
New. Well the scripture maketh as much for me, as it doth for you and more to.
Thornton. Well, let us not stand any longer about him. Back again to the real presence. How say ye, is the body of Christ really in the sacrament, or no?
Thornton. Well, let vs not stande anye longer aboute him. Backe agayne to the real presence. How say ye, is the body of Christ really in the sacrament, or no?
New. I have answered you already.
New. I haue aunswered you already.
Thornton. Well do ye not believe that he is there really?
Thornton. Well doe yee not beleeue that hee is there really?
New. No, I believe it not.
New. No, I beleue it not.
Thornton. Well, will ye stand to it?
New. I must needs stand to it, till I be persuaded to a further truth.
New. I must needes stande to it, till I bee perswaded to a further truth.
Thornton. Nay, ye will not be persuaded, but stand to your own opinion.
Thornton. Nay, yee will not bee perswaded, but stande to your owne opinion.
