Answer.

I doubt not of the sincerity of this profes∣sion for so much as concernes the petson that wrote this paper: there is more want of true information of the vnderstanding, then good affection in the will, and zeale certainly there is of truth, but such an one as S. Paul descri∣bes, not according to knowledge.* 1.1 For I haue clearly now demoustrated, that the meaning of this proposition, This is my Body, is not, this bread which I now hold in my hand whilst I say the words This, is my Body; but, This which I am now to giue you, and ye are to eate after it be made a Sacra∣ment by the words of consecration, is my Body.
