Wherein this author not seeing how little he hath done, concludeth yet as constantly as though he had throwen all downe afore him, entending to shew that the doctrine of Transubstantiation dependeth onely of authority, which is not so, using the sayinges of Duns and Gabriell (as he reporteth them) for his purpose, bicause they (as he sayth) [ 1] boast themselues what they could doe, if the determination of the counsaile were not, and thus euery idle speach may haue estimation with this author agaynst the receaued truth. And from this poynt of the matter, the author of this booke maketh a passage with a litle sport at them, he fan••••eth or liketh to call so English Papistes by the way to enterprise to answere all such as he supposeth reasons for Transubstantiation and authorities also.

* 1.1First he findeth himselfe mirth in divissing as he calleth them the Papistes, to say yt Christ is made a new, which fansie if it were so, is agaynst the reall presence as well as transubstantiation. In which wordes bicause euery wise reader may see how this au∣thor playeth: I will say no more but this, Christ is not made a new, nor made of the [ 2] substance of bread, as of a matter, and that to be the Catholique doctrine, this author if he be right named, knoweth well enough, and yet spendeth two leaues in it.
