d Although these our venerable masters do both strongly and constantly uphold & maintain ⟨p. 201⟩that the Sacramental words must be taken according to the letter, without any figurative kind of exposition: yet are they enforced to expound this place figuratively: saying, This cup, that is to say, that which is contained in this Cup. For, they dare not at any hand say, that the Cup is changed into blood, as the words according to the letter, do signify, and according to their doctrine of transubstantiation, & the exposition which they make upon the words appertaining to the consecration of the bread. And besides this I do verily believe, that they would be perilously angry, to see their golden and silver Chalices turned into blood. For I tell you that that were much against their profit. And therefore it is no marvel that they receive & allow this gloss here in this place.1 Nicholas de Plove, mightelie findeth fault, with all those Priests which gasp & breath so much over the bread, and over the Chalice, and accounteth them to be monstrous offensive puppies.
