But as this doctrine of transubstantiation was unknown to the Church of Christ before the wicked and unlawful assembly of the venomous dragon pope Innocent & his pestilent papists: even so likewise from the beginning, ⟨p. 84⟩unto this day would the church of the Greeks never receive it, but always have abhorred it as a new & strange,1 yea, a devilish and damnable tradition of Antichrist,2 as they in like manner would never admit that wicked & execrable tradition of receiving the sacrament of Christs body and blood under one kind contrary to the institution of Christ, nor the damnable and devilish decree of the single life of priests, although that Romish Antichrist with the Satanical Sectaries have sought all means possible to bring it to pass.
