The. xix. chapyter

Is not thys a wyse inuented scoffe that mayster Masker mocketh me wythall / and sayth that with myne olde eyen & my spectacles I se farre in goddys syghte, and am of goddys pryuy counsayle, and that I knowe bylyke by some secrete reuefacyon, how god seeth that one body to be in many placs at onys includeth no repugnaunce. It is no counsayle ye wote well that is cryed at the crosse. But Chryst hath cryed and proclamed this hym selfe, and sent hys heraldys, hys blessed apostles, to cry it out abrode, & hath caused his […] also to wryte ye pro clamaciō, by which all ye world was warned that hys blessed body, hys holy fleshe and his bloude, is veryly eaten and dronken in the blessed sacra ment. And therfore eyther all those places be one in whyche the blessed sacrament is receyued at onys, or els god may do the thynge that is repugnaunt, or els he seeth that his body to be in dyuerse places at onys, is not repugnaunt. For well I wote / he sayth he doth it, in all the. iiii. euangelystes. And well I wote also, that he can not say but soth. And therfore neyther nede I to see very farre for this poynt, nor nede no secrete reuelacyon neyther, syth it is the poynt, that to the whole worlde, god hath bothe by worde, wrytynge, and myracles, reueled and shewed so opēly. where is mayster Masker now?

For where he sayeth I haue no worde of fcrypture for Chrystes body to be in many places at onys, no more than to be in all placys at onys […] I hadde not, yet yf god had other wyse than by wrytynge reueled the tone to hys chyrche and not the tother, I wolde and were bounde to byleue the tone, and wolde not nor were boūden to byleue the tother / as I byleue and am bounde to byleue now that the gospell of saynt Iohū is holy scrypture, and not the gospell of Nichodemus. And yf god hadde reueled bothe twayne vnto the chyrche: I wolde and were bounde to byleue bothe twayne / as I byleue now that the gospell of saynte Iohū is holy scrypture, and the gospell of saynt Mathew to.

But now of trouth mayster mas ker abomynably bylyeth the worde of god, whan he sayeth that we: haue not the worde of god, no more for the beynge of Chrystes body in many places at onys, than in all places at onys. For as for the beynge therof in all places at onys, we fynde no word playnely wryten in the scrypture. But for the beynge therof in many places at onys, Chrystes wordes in his last souper, and byfore that in the syxte chapyter of saynt Iohn̄, be as open, as clere, and as playne as any man well coulde wyth any reason requyre / excepte any man were so wise as to wene yt dyuerse mennys mowthes were all one place. And therfore whan mayster Masker in his worde folowynge, maketh as though he wolde byleue it, as well as he byleueth the creacyon of the world, and Chrystes byrth of a virgine (whiche seme also to hys reason repugnaunt) yf Chryste in any playne place of scrypture sayd it, the trouth appereth otherwyse. For vnto hym that is not wyth his own fro wardnesse blynded by the deuyll, the thynge that he denyeth is as playnely spoken, as are the tother twayne that he sayth he by leueth. And some other wreches such as hym selfe is, in foly and stoburnnesse denye bothe the tother twayne, for the repugnaunce; as well as he doth this / whiche thynge you haue herde hym al redy, with very folysh reasons declare for so repugnaunte, that he sayeth that god can not do it, bycause it were as he sayth a geuyng awaye of his glory. And therfore his harte onys sette and fyxed on the wronge syde the deuyll causeth hym so to delyte in suche fonde folysshe ar gumentes of hys owne inuencyon, that he can not endure to turne hys mynde to the trowthe / but euery texte be it neuer so playne, ys darke vnto hym / thorow the darkenesse of his owne brayne.
