RIDLEY. My lord, you know that where any equivocation (which is a word having two significations) is, except distinction be given, no direct answer can be made; for it is one of Aristotle's fallacies, containing two questions under one, which cannot be satisfied with one answer. For both you and I agree herein, that in the sacrament is the very true and natural body and blood of Christ, even that which was born of the virgin Mary, which ascended into heaven, which sitteth at the right hand of God the Father, which shall come from thence to judge the quick and the dead, only we differ in the way and manner of being; we confess all one thing to be in the sacrament, and dissent in the manner of being there. I being fully by God'• word thereunto persuaded, confess Christ's natural body to be in the sacrament indeed by spirit and grace, because that whosoever worthily receiveth that bread and wine, receiveth effectually Christ's body, and drinketh his blood, that is, he is made effectually partaker of his passion; and you make a grosser kind of being, inclosing a natural, a lively, and a moving body, under the shape or form of bread and wine.
