Bland. No, you shall pardon me of that: there shall be no such witness. But when we agree, set to our hands. Here the people made a great noise against me, for refusing the witness: and here we had many more words than I can rehearse. But at last I said, Sir, will you give me leave to ask you one question? And he said, Yea, with all my heart. For in that thou askest any thing, there is some hope that thou mayest be won.
Bland. Sir, when it pleased Almighty God to send his angel unto the virgin Mary to salute her, and said, "Hail, full of grace," &c. came any substance from God our Father into the virgin's womb to become man? Whereat Mr. Archdeacon, my lord of Dover, and Mr. Collins were silent But my lord spake first, and said, The Holy Ghost came to her; and ere he had brought out his sentence, Mr. Syriac Peters said, "The power of the Most High overshadowed her." Truth, said Mr. Archdeacon, it was the power of God sent by the Holy Ghost. They had forgot, that He was begotten of the substance of his Father; or else they perceived whereunto this question tended: and so both I and they left it, by what words I cannot tell. But I said, Sir, I shall ask one other? […] he said, Yea. Is there in the sacrament, after the consecration, Christ's natural body, with all the qualities of a natural body, or no?
