The 20. day of April, in the year aforesaid, the said James Bainhā was brought before the vicar general in the church or all saints of Barking,1 where as he ministered these interrogatories unto him. First that since the feast of Easter last past he said, affirmed and believed, that the sacrament of the altar, was but a mystical body of Christ, and afterward he said, it was but a memorial: that which article Bainham denied. The the vicar general declared unto him, that our holy mother the catholic church determineth & teacheth in this manner: that in the sacrament of the altar, after the words of consecration, there remaineth no bread. The official asked Bainhā whether he did so believe or not. Whereunto Bainham answered, saying that S. Paul calleth it bread,2 rehearsing these words: Quotiescunque comederitis panem hunc, & de poculo biberitis, mortem Domini annunciabitis: and in that point he saith, as S. Paul saith, and believeth as the church believeth. And being demanded twice afterward what he thought therein, he would give no other answer.
