IT is true, said Philpot, but he saw Christ as ⟨p. 274⟩the scripture saith, in the heavens, being open, standing at the right hand of God the Father: at which Watson was silent.
THE dean proceeded to support his argument, and, to this end, read out of a book of annotations sundry authorities, to which Moreman, who was appointed to answer him, made no direct answer, but desired him to frame an argument, saying, the dean had recited many doctors' words, but had not made one argument. Thus challenged, the dean made the following argument from the institution of the sacrament; "Do this in remembrance of me; and thus ye shall show forth the Lord's death till he come."

Thus challenged, the dean made the following argument from the institution of the sacrament; "Do this in remembrance of me; and thus ye shall shew forth the Lord's death till he come."
THE sacrament is the remembrance of Christ; therefore, the sacrament is not the very Christ; for as yet he is not come, for these words, "until he come," do plainly signify the absence of Christ's body. Then the prolocutor went about to show, that these words, "until he come," did not import any absence of Christ on the earth, by other places of scripture, where the word, "until," was made use of: but directly to the purpose he answered nothing. In fine, the dean questioned Moreman, whether Christ did eat the paschal lamb with his disciples, or not? He answered, Yes. He further demanded, whether upon instituting the sacrament, he did eat the sacrament with them? Moreman answered, Yes. Then he asked what he did eat, and whether he did eat his own natural body, as they imagined it to be, or not? Which when Moreman had affirmed, then, said the dean, it is a great absurdity by you granted; and so he sat down.
