The second part of this matter.
Now my sentence in the second part of this matter, is this (if so be your grace shall please to know it,1 as I your poor and unworthy, but full true subject, would with all submission and instance beseech you to know it) I grant the holy sacrament to be the very and natural body of our Saviour, and his very natural blood, and that the natural body and blood of our Saviour, is in the Sacrament after a certain wise, as after shall appear. For so do the words of the supper testify: Take, eat, this is my body which is given for you. And again: Drink ye all of this, this is my blood which is of the new Testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. Of which words, seeing in them dependeth a great trial and proof of this matter, and that for the interpretation of them, is and hath been all controversy of this matter, I therefore shall show the interpretation, that holy Doctors have made of them, that as to me seemeth, be full worthy credit.
