The answer.
And why do you not say not in bodie nor in humanitie? Bi∣cause you would faine with some color shift of Christs bodily ab∣sence from the earth, for the better safetie and defence of your re∣all prese••ce in the sacrament. You are full of fathers in matters n••edlesse, why do you not in this place so often repeated bring vs at the least one plaine place of some father, affirming that he is not simply absent in bodie from vs, but onely in such sort as you do imagine? Is it not a secret confession that all antiquitie is a∣gainst you? I maruell that you are so impudent still to glory and to cry, that your faith hath continued almost xvj. hundred yéeres, when you know that in a number of things you are not able to bring foorth any true authoritie of halfe the age.
