Pope Gregory the ninth ordained, that the sacring bell should be rung,1 when the priest lifteth up the Missal bread & Chalice above his head, to move the people to behold that new found God which is not (as the true God ought) to be worshipped in spirit and truth, but in knocking, knelling, and lifting up of hands. In the year, &c. 1225. Anselmus. Rid.

Pope Leo, Pope Victor, Pope Nicolas, Pope Innocent, Pope Honorius, pope Urban ▪ 1Monk Lanckfrancke, Monk Gratian. Fryer Thomas, Fryer Bonaventure, and such like monsters & belly Gods, invented first of all the God of the altar, and made of the Sacrament, or holy sign of Christs body and blood, the true natural, real, corporal, carnal substantial, &c, body of Christ GOD and man, flesh, blood and bone, sinews, guts and loins, even as he was borne of Mary the Virgin and hanged on the Cross: no bread nor wine remaining, but the substance of bread turned into the substance of Christs natural body, and the substance of wine changed ⟨image 162⟩into the substance of Christs natural blood: So that we handle him with our hands, put him in our mouth, tear him with our teeth, eat him, digest him, &c: and partly with their Sophistry they persuaded, and partly with their tyranny they compelled the people so to believe, as the cruel and bloody papists like wise do in this our age, where the devil and the Pope reign: which days was not known nor heard of in the Church of Christ, so new is the doctrine of transubstantiation and of their missal God: howsoever the wicked and wily papists bewitch the simple people, and through their subtle Sophistry caste mists before the eyes of the ignorant, and so darken their senses and wits, that they can not espy the truth of Gods word in this behalf, which is abundantly set forth through the great benefit of God in these our days by the diligent labour & painful travail of many Godly learned men, both in Latin and in English and in diverse other speeches, unto the great comfort of all faithful Christians
