     summary: To confirme this point , no man can be ignorant , if euer he read the Romane Histories ; but that , before the Incarnation of Christ , there was not so much as one King , Consull , Dictator , or Romane Emperour , instructed in the Law of God , but all were Idolaters and Infidels , obseruing the Religion of that Magician , Numa Pompilius . If Iesus Christ said by his Apostles , that we are the Temples of God , in which the holy Ghost inhabits ; must wee therefore imagine , that we are transubstantiated into a masse of stone ? If the holy Apostle writ , that Iesus Christ is the Rocke , out of whom came liuing water , to wash and purge vs from our sinnes : Must we wrest out of this a transmutation , and transubstantiation of Iesus Christ into a Rocke , or a materiall stone ? If the holy Apostle testifieth , that we are the bodie of Christ : may wee by this inferre , that we are translated , and now no more men , but transubstantiated into an accident without substance ? I readily foresee , O you obdurate Missalians , that you will obiect all these pre-alleadged places : wherein this word est , is , and make no mention of the Sacraments , which must the more exactly bee obserued , in that these be sacred mysteries ordained of God : which is most true .
