And therefore, so soon as y• priest in the mass hath fully spoken these words, this is my body, if he purpose or if his intention be as he speaketh (for that is requisite teach they) then y•, which before was bred, and seemeth to the eye to be bred, is made in rerye deed Christs body, flesh, blood and bone, even the self same, which was crucified, rose again, and descended up into heaven. So y• he, which believeth not this, is a most heinous he ⟨p. 63⟩retyke, and cut of from the Catholic church, and is not mete to receive this holy sacrament: because he can not without this faith of Christs natural, real, corporal and carnal body, under the form or accident of bred & wine, otherwise receive this sacrament, then unworthily and to eternal damnation. This is a short sum of their doctrine, concerning the supper.
