In the time of which archbishop, Raynolde Peacock, bishop of Chichesley, was afflicted by the Popes Prelates, for his faith, and profession of the Gospel: and being cited up to ⟨p. 385⟩Lambeth was caused to recant these points. That we are not bound by necessity of Faith, to believe that our Lord Jesus Christ after his death descended into hell. That it is not necessary to salvation, to believe in the catholic church. That it is not necessary to salvation, to believe the communion of Saints. That it is not necessary to salvation, to affirm the body materially in the Sacrament. That the universal Church may err in matters which pertain to faith. That it is not necessary for the Church, to hold that which every general council shall ordain.
