Glassier. Tush, you do not understand the scriptures. For Christ's body was ever glorified, in that it was so marvellously united to the Godhead: yea, and he showed his body divers times glorified, as in the mount Tabor; and when he walked on the water, we see he was light, and had no weight in him. Was not that then a glorified body?
Glasier. Tush, you do not understand the scriptures.

Was not that then a glorified body?
Bland. Then belike Peter's body was glorified, if walking on the water was the deed of a glorified body: and the iron that Elisha made made to swim upon the water.
Bland. Masters, I know that it availeth nothing to reason with you, no more than it availed you in the time of the gospel. For then neither the reason of Eckius, Cochlaeus, nor yet of detection of the devil's sophistry of my lord chancellor's doing, could take any place. And it is known to some that be here, that something I can say in them.
Glassier. You know that Christ saith, "If thy brother have offended thee, go and reconcile him between thee and him. If he hear thee not, take two or three with thee, that in the mouth of two o• three witnesses all things may be established. If he hear not them, tell it unto the church; if he hear not the church, take him as an heathen." I pray you where could you have found this church of your's fifty years ago?

If he hear thee not, take two or three with thee, that in the mouth of two o• three witnesses all things may be established. If he hear not them, tell it unto the church; if he hear not the church, take him as an heathen." I pray you where could you have found this church of your's fifty years ago?
Bland. You know that the true church did not at all times flourish, but was wonderfully persecuted.
THEN my lord of Dover cried, No more, I command you to hold your peace. Have him away, and bring in another.
Collins. You shall come again on Monday at nine o'clock, and in the mean time you shall have whom you will to confer withal; your friend Dr. Faucet, or Mr. Glassier, if you desire them.

Bland. I will refuse to talk with no man: as for any conference on your part, it is but weak laws, established as they are. But when there was no law, I did desire conference. And so for that time I departed.
THE Monday after we were brought to the same place again; and then Mr. Collins began to speak to me, but after what manner, it is clean out of my mind; but the end was, that I would reform myself. But as I did before, I demanded what they had to lay to my charge, and to see the law, which they said before I should see.
