To the things which I have brought hereforth, to improve transubstantiation, I could bring in the Fathers to confirm the same, which succeeded continually many hundred years after Christ. Also I could show that Transubstantiation is but a ⟨p. 104⟩new doctrine, not established, before Satan (which was tied for a thousand years) was let loose. Also I could show, that ever hitherto, since it was established, in all times it hath been resisted and spoken against. Yea, before this doctrine, the Church was nothing so endowed with goods, lands, and possessions as it hath been since. It hath brought no small gain, no small honour no small ease to the Clergy: and therefore no marvel though they strive and fight for it.
