PLAC. If the Papists said that in 'this is my body' there is no unusual metaphor, or that the same word is not to be taken both properly and improperly at once—because a covenant, sacrament, or law would not bear that—the comparison would run straight, and they would not find our men opposing them. But when they shut every metaphor out of those words and out of every covenant, sacrament, and law—even a worn, clear metaphor—what do they share with me? I answered them in my Examination of reasons for and against the Mass sacrifice, part I, chapter xiv, p. 429ff. It cannot be denied that 'you shall die the death' named death properly so called. So I defended my reasons. The learned man also has reasons of his own to prove that the death God threatened by that law is not only bodily death but also death of the soul—that is, loss of original righteousness and privation of God's image. Those reasons ought to be weighed.

Latin

PLAC. Si dicerent Pontificii in verbis hoc est corpus meum, non esse metaphoram inusitatam, aut non esse eandem vocem simul proprie & non proprie seu improprie accipiendam, quia id non ferat pactum, Sacramentum, lex, recte procederet comparatio, neque nostros haberent repugnantes. Nunc cum ab illis verbis, omnique pacto, sacramento, & lege omnem excludant metaphoram, etiam admodum tritam & perspicuam, quid est illis mecum commune? Certe eos refutavi Exam. rat. pro & contra Sacr. Missae part. I. c. xiv. pag. 429. & seqq. Negari autem non potest, quin verbis morte morieris, proprie dicta mors designata fuerit. Sic meas defendi rationes. Suas etiam quasdam habet Vir Doctus, quibus probet, mortem, quam Deus illa lege comminatus est, non tantum esse mortem corporis, verum etiam mortem animae, id est, amissionem justitiae originalis, & imaginis Dei privationem. Eas expendi par est.
