Winc. My Lord, do you not see what deceitful arguments he bringeth in here against us, mingled with sophistry, & keepeth himself in vantage, so that we can get no hold upon him. But I say unto thee, thou perverse heretic, I see now, thou art a perverse fellow. I had a better opinion of thee, but now I see we lose our time about thee, yet I answer thee, S. Paul doth open the sixth of John, plain, if thou wilt see, for he saith: they eat Christs body and drink his blood unworthily, and that was the cause of their damnation.1

Paule doth open the sixte of Iohn, playne, if thou wilt see, for he sayth: they eate Christes body and drinke his bloud vnworthely, and that was the cause of their damnation.1

Grat. My Lord, take heed ye do not add unto the text for he that addeth unto the text, is accursed of God, and I am sure here you have brought more then Paul hath spoken, for he saith not, because they have eaten his body and drunk his blood unworthily, but S. Paul saith: Who so ever shall eat of this bread, and drink of the Cup unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of Christ. ⟨p. 1978⟩1
