The. vii. chapyter

IN the ende of the fourth lefe he expouneth these wordꝭ of Crist, And this brede that I shall aeue you is myne owne flesshe, whyche I shall geue for the lyfe of the worlde. And for as myche as at those worde specyally bygynneth bytwen hym and me the waye to parte in twayne, and he to go the tone and I the tother / he drawynge it all to that poynt as though Chryst there began to shew them none other thynge of his flesshe, but the geuynge it vppon the crosse, and that he nothynge in all those wordes ment to tell them of the geuynge of his fleshe to eate, that he gyueth in the blessed sacrament / and I there expownynge it that he there telleth them of bothe, but specyally of the geuynge of his flesshe to be eaten, whyche ge gyueth in the blessed sacrament: therfore at those wordes good readers begynne to take specyall good hede to mayster Maskers fyngers. For there he specyally begynneth to playe a mummers cast with his false dice. And therfore conferre his exposycyon vpon the same wordes wyth myne, and than shal ye byd hym caste agayne, for that caste goth for nought.
