AT these words the prolocutor was exceedingly offended and troubled, telling him, that he should not brag there, but be fully answered. To which Philpot returned, "It is the only thing I desire, to be answered directly on this point of dispute▪ and I request of you, and of all the house here present, ⟨p. 273⟩that I may be sufficiently answered, which I am sure you cannot do, taking Theodoret's authority, and similitude, as they ought to be taken." Whereupon, without any further reply, or answer to his reasoning, Philpot was commanded to be silent.
AFTER he had sat down, the dean of Rochester arose, offering to dispute against the real presence, wishing that the scriptures, and the ancient doctors, might be weighed, believed, and followed, in this point, And he thought a sufficient argument against it, was that saying of Christ, in St. Matthew, where he says, that the poor we should have always with us, but him we should not have always, which the dean said, was spoken concerning the natural presence of Christ's body, and therefore Christ cannot be naturally present on earth in the sacrament of the altar. To this the prolocutor answered, that we should not have Christ present always to exercise alms deeds, but upon the poor.
