The SPEECH of Dr. WESTON, PRO•OCUTOR, at the Commencement of the DISPUTATION.
Good Christian People and Brethren!
WE have begun this day our school, by God's good speed I trust, and are entering into a controversy, whereof no question ought to be ⟨p. 327⟩moved concerning the verity of the body of our Lord Jesus Christ in the eucharist. Christ is true, which said the words. The words are true which he spake, yea, truth itself that cannot fail. Let us therefore pray unto God to send down unto us his Holy Spirit which is the true interpreter of his word; which may purge away errors, and give light that verity may appear. Let us also ask leave and liberty of the church to permit the truth received to be called this day in question, without any prejudice to the same. Your parts thereof shall be to implore the assistance of Almighty God, to pray for the prosperity of the queen's majesty, and to give us quiet and attentive ears. Now go to your question.
