After the Bohemians had taken deliberation upon these declarations, they said, they would give no answer unto the premisses, before they understood what should be offered them touching the communion: whereto the council: declared that licence should be given unto the Bohemians, to communicate unto the people under both kinds,1 to such as be of lawful years, & discretion: this always observed, that the ministers shall say unto those that communicate, that they ought firmly to believe, not the flesh only to be contained under the form of bread, & the blood only under the form of wine, but under each kind, the whole & perfect Christ. Moreover, other doubts were so answered by the council, that after much communication had to and fro, at last a concord was concluded, & confirmed by sentence of their hands. The Bohemians promised to receive the peace, & unity of the church, and the declaration of the 3. articles. This was done, an. 1438. §1438about the feast of S. Martin.
