Tush sayeth this third man, ye understand nothing at all.1 They agree well enough in the chief point, which is the ground of all: that is, both do agree and bear witness, that there is transubstantiation. They do agree in deed in that conclusion: I grant. But their process and doctrine thereof do even aswell agree together,2 as did the false witness before Annas and Caiaphas against Christ: or the two wicked judges against Susanna. For against Christ the false witnesses did agree no doubt, to speak all against him. And the wicked judges were both agreed to condemn poor Susanna: but in examination of their witnesses, they dissented so far, that all was found ⟨image 25⟩false, that they went about, both that where in they agreed, & also those things, which they brought for their proves.
