Now where Christ said This is my body,1 the adversaries taking away the substance of bread and wine, do much abuse the latin verbe substantife, Est, and muche contrary to the proper signification that would have est, to signify transubstanciatur is changed in substance, or to stand for conuertitur, which is in English it is converted, or for transmutatur, it is changed for whiles they are in pronouncing those words of the Lord: This is my body: the bread is not yet all this while Christs body. Wherefore if they should take est, in his true and proper signification: they should speak that thing, which is false and not true. Which consideration have moved and driven some of •he school men to hold and affirm that the verbe, est, should bee taken for one of these verbes: fieri, to be made mutari, to be changed, or conuerti, to be turned.
