11 There is no transubstantiation after the words of consecration. 2. The accidents remain not without the substance after the words. 3. Christ is not corporally present in the Sacrament. 4. If a B. or Priest be in deadly sin, he can not order, consecrate or baptize: (which article seemeth to be falsely taken.) 5 A man truly penitent needeth not outwardly to be confessed. 6. Christ did not ordain the Mass. 7. If the Pope be an evil man, he hath no power over faithful Christians, except it be given him from the Emperor. 8 Since the time of Urban 6. there is none to be received for Pope, but to live after the manner of the Greeks. 9. That church goods may be taken from the Clergy, if they so deserve. The erroneous opinions were these. 10 That no prelate ought to excommunicate any man except he knew him first to be excommunicated of God. 11 That he which doth so excommunicate, is thereby himself excommunicated, or an heretic. 12 That any person excommunicating him that hath appealed to the king, or counsel, is thereby himself a traitor. 13 That they that for fear leave the hearing or preaching of the word of God, are therefore already excommunicated: and in the day of judgement shall be counted as traitors to God.
