ARGUMENTS and ANSWERS between DR. SMITH, and BISHOP RIDLEY.
DR. SMITH. You have occasioned me to go otherwise to work with you, than I had thought to have done. Methinks, in your supposition, you did abuse the testimonies of scripture concerning the ascension of Christ, to take away his presence in the sacrament, as though this were a strong argument in your favour. CHRIST did ascend into heaven. ERGO, He is not in the sacrament. NOW therefore I will go about to disprove this reason of your's. CHRIST'S ascension is no bar to his real presence in the sacrament. ⟨p. 337⟩ERGO, You are deceived, whereas you do ground yourself upon those places.
RID. You import as though I had made a strong argument by Christ's going up into heaven. But howsoever mine argument is made, you collect it not rightly. For it doth not only stay upon his ascension, but upon his abiding there also.
SMITH. Christ's going […] to heaven, and his abiding there, hinder not his real presence in the sacrament. ERGO, You are deceived.
