The First Proposition.
In the Sacrament of the Altar, by the virtue of God's Word spoken of the Priest, the Natural Body of Christ, born of the Virgin Mary, and his Natural Blood is Really Present under the Forms of Bread and Wine.
The Answer of N. Ridley.
In matters appertaining to God we may not speak according to the sense of Man, nor of the World. Therefore this Proposition or Conclusion is framed after another manner of Phrase or kind of Speech than the Scripture useth. Again it is very obscure and dark by means of sundry words of doubtful signification. And being taken in the sense which the Schoolmen teach, and at this time the Church of Rome doth defend, it is false and erroneous, and plain contrary to the Doctrine which is according to Godliness.
