The Sixth Day's Debate.
ON Monday following, October the 30th, the prolocutor demanded of M•. Philpot, whether, in the questions, before propounded, he would answer their objections or not? To whom he made this answer; that he would willingly do so, if, according to their former determination and promise, they would first answer fully some of his arguments, of which he had a dozen, not half the first being decided; and if they would answer but one of his arguments sufficiently, he would reply to all the objections they could bring. The prolocutor bid him state his argument, and it should be resolutely controverted by some of them; whereunto Morgan was appointed. Mr. Philpot then proceeded. On Wednesday last, said he, I was forced to silence before I had half prosecuted my argument, the sum of which was, that the human body of Christ was ascended into heaven, and placed at the right hand of God the Father: wherefore, after the imagination of man, it could not be situated upon earth invisibly in the sacrament of the altar. The argument was denied by Morgan; but for proof hereof, Philpot said, that this was what he had to confirm his first argument with, if they would have suffered him the other day, as he hoped they would now. He thus proceeded with his argument.
