Ralph. Where find you that written, my lord?
Bonner. Lo, sir, Why doth not Christ say, "This is my body?" How sayest thou? Wilt thou deny these words of our Saviour Christ? Or else was he a dissembler, of speaking one thing and meaning another? Go to, now I have taken you.
Ralph. Yea, my lord, you have taken me indeed, and will keep me unti• you kill me. However, my lord I marvel why you leave out the beginning of the institution of our Lord? For Christ said, "Tak• ye, and eat ye, this is my body." And if it will please you to join the former words to the latter, then shall I make you an answer. For sure I am, that Christ was no dissembler, neither did he say one thing, and mean another.
Bonner. Why, then must thou needs say, that it is his body; for he saith it himself, and thou confessest that he will not lie.
