A quiet and sober reckoning vvith M.

But heere in the meane space the said imputations are iustified, and confirmed, & with much increase of new vntruthes on his part returned vpon him againe: so as finally the reconing being made, the verdict of the Angell, interpreted by Daniel, is verified of him. There is also adioyned a peece of a reckoning with Syr Edward Cooke, now L. Chief Iustice of the Co[m]mon Pleas, about a nihil dicit, & some other points vttered by him in two late preambles, to his sixt and seauenth partes of Reports.

Pa∣s. Tigu∣in. As first, that the flesh o Christ is only in haun, and that in so certaine and determinate a place, as it is as i∣stant from the bread, as the highest heauen is from the earth: & then, this nowithstanding, he saith (as heere is cyted by M.

And in the. and last place he concludeth, that this Sacrament doth not giue the body o Christ, or faith vnto any that hath it not alrea∣dy, but only doth testify, and confirme that now it is there, and so it is, but as a signe or seale (to vse his wordes) of that 0
