Harps. I will prove by the scriptures, that you blaspheme God in so saying: for it is given in two parts, because there are two things showed. •hat is to say, his body and his passion, as saith St. Paul: and therefore the bread is his body, and the wine the representation of his death and blood-shedding.

Smith. You falsify the word, and rack it to serve your purpose. For the wine was not only the showing his passion, but the bread also. For our Saviour saith, "So often as ye do th•s, do it in remembrance of me." And St. Paul saith, "So oft as you eat of this bread, and drink of this cup, you shall show forth the Lord's death till he come." And her• is as much reverence given to the one as to the other. Wherefore if the bread be his body, the cup must be his blood, and as well you make his body in the cup, as his blood in the bread.
