Winchester.
But all this set apart, and putting aside all testimonies of the olde church, and resor∣tyng onely to the letter of the scripture,* 1.1 there to search out an vnderstanding, and in do∣yng therof, to forget what hath bene taught hitherto: How shall this author establish v∣pon [ 1] scripture that he would haue beleued? What other text is there in scripture that en∣••ountreth with these wordes of scripture (This is my body) wherby to alter the signifi∣cation of them? There is no scripture sayth, Christ did not geue his body, but the figure of [ 2] his body, nor the geuing of Christes body in his supper, verily and really so vnderstāded, doth not necessarily impugne and contrary any other speach or doyng of Christ, expressed [ 3] in scripture. For the great power and omnipotencie of God, exclodeth that repugnance, which mans reason would déeme of Christes departyng from this world, and placing his humanitie in the glory of his Father.
Notes
* 1.1
These wordes, This is my bo∣dy agre in sence with the rest of the scripture. Vntrue report. This author hath no wordes of scripture for the ground of his faith.
