These five Articles here following are school points, the discussion whereof is more curious, then necessary. Whether the faithful people were then, that is to say, for the space of six hundred years after Christ, taught to believe concerning this blessed Sacrament precisely according to the purport of all these Articles, or no, I know not. Verily I think, they were taught the truth of this matter simply, and plainly, yea so as nothing was hidden from them, that in those quiet times, (quiet I mean touching this point of Faith) was thought necessary for them to know. If sithens there hath been more taught, or rather if the truth hath in some other form of words been declared for a more evidence and clearness in this behalf to be had, truth it self always remaining one: this hath proceeded of the diligence, and earnest care of the Church, to repress the pertinacie of Heretics, who have within these last six hundred years impugned the truth herein, and to meet with their perverse and froward objections: as hath been thought necessary to find out such wedges, as might best serve to rive such knotty blocks.
