Wood. M. Gage, I desire you for gods sake mark my words well what I say. If S. Paul speak any such words there or in any other place, if there be any such words written in all the whole Bible,1 that ever any man eat the body of Christ unworthily, then say that I am the falsest man that ever you heard speak with tongue. But in deed these be the words of S. Paul: Who so eateth of this bread, and drinketh of this cup unworthily, eateth and drinketh his own damnation; 2because he maketh no difference of the Lords body: that is, because he presumeth to eat the sacrament of the Lords body without saith, making no difference betwixt the sacrament and other bread and drink: And that is S. Pauls meaning, and not that any man doth or can eat the body of Christ *unworthily. For who soever eateth the body of christ, hath everlasting life, as is aforesaid in the 6. of John. With which words one came from them to come to dinner in all the hast.
