Againe, they bring a place of Malach. chap. 1. v. 11. from the rising of the sunne, vnto the going downe of the same, my name is great among the Gentils, and in euery place incense shalbe offred vnto my name and a pure offring. But I answer, that where they inferre that the body of Christ is offred vp in the Supper, because it is a cleane or pure offring, the argumēt is false, because it will not follow from the generall to the speciall affirmatiuely.

The reason of that phrase is, to set the matter whereof he speaketh, more manifestly before the eyes of men.
