But all that loue and beleeue Christe hym selfe,* 1.1 lette theym not thynke, that Christe is cor∣porally in the breadde,* 1.2 but lette theym lyfte vp theyr hartes vnto heauen, and woorshyp hym, syttyng there at the ryght hande of his Father. Lette theym worshyp hym in them selues, whose temples they bee, in whome hee dwelleth and lyueth spiritually: but in no wyse, let them wor∣shyp hym, as beynge corporally in the breadde. For he is not in it, neyther spiritually (as he is in manne) nor corporally, (as hee is in heauen) but onely sacramentally, as a thynge maye bee sayde to bee in the fygure, whereby it is syg∣nyfyed.
Thus is sufficientely reproued the thyrde pryncipall errour of the Papistes, con∣cernynge the Lordes supper, why∣che is, That wycked membres of the deuyl, do eate Chri∣stes very bodye, and drynke his bloude.
