For when as More disputing in a certain place upon the Sacrament, laid against him the authority of Doctor Barnes, for the presence of the body and blood in the sacrament, he answered unto More & his companions, that he would promise under this condition, that the sentence of Luther & Barnes might be holden as ratified, he would never speak more words of it: for in that point they did both agree with him, that the sacrament was not to be worshipped,¹ & that Idolatry being taken away, he was content to permit every man to judge of the sacrament, as God should put into their harts: for then there remained no more poison, that any man ought or might be afraid on. Wherefore if they did agree in that which was the chief point of the sacrament, they should easily accord & agree in the rest.
