An oversight, and deliberation upon the holy prophet JonahAn ouersight, and deliberacion vpon the holy prophete Ionas

First we read not where there was ever any contention about the words of consecration, where they began, and where they ended, neither any thing of the ministers intention, to be of such virtue they speak of. ⟨image 135⟩The second: the Elders neve• answered the Arian that denied the equality between go• the father, and God the Son with this: Christ is God and equal with the father, for we so honour him in the sacrament. If the Catholic church had so judged of Christs bodily presence in the sacrament, as the new upstart church doth, and hath done of late years, there could not have been a stronger argument against Arrius and his heresy.

Fyrst we read not wher ther was euer any contenciō about the words of consecraciō, wher they began, and wher they ended, neyther any thynge of the ministers intencion, to be of suche vertue they speake of. ⟨image 135⟩The second: the Elders neue• answered the Arrian that denyed the equalitie betwen go• the father, and God the sonne wyth thys: Christ is God and equall wyth the father, for we so honor hym in the sacramēt. If the Catholicke church had so iudged of Christes bodelye presence in the sacramente, as the newe vpstart church doth, and hath done of late yeares, there coulde not haue bene a stronger argumente agaynst Arrius and hys heresye.

The third. Neither did the Marcionites ever make such a reason: though Christ seemed to have the qualities and conditions of a natural man, yet he had not them in deed: For in the Sacrament of his bo••e ⟨p. cxxvi⟩there seemeth to be the very qualities and conditions of eade and wine, yet is there neither bread nor wine in eede.
