CHALLENGE.
VVE will try what a Syllogisme will doe, that, after your Po∣sall in Grammar, we may encounter you with Logique.
The Maior. No Bread can possibly be called a Body of flesh, with∣out a figure. (This Proposition hath had the Vniversall consent of all Schooles, by virtue of that Maxime of Maximes, * Disparatum de Disparato, &c.)

The Conclusion. Therefore the words of Christ, [This is my Bo∣dy] are to be taken figuratively. (Except you will contradict, both the Generall confession of your owne Schooles, and Vniversall con∣sent of Ancient Fathers.)
