1Hesichius also who was 500. years after Christ where he speaketh of the said mystery, quòd simul panis & caro est. i. which he saith to be both flesh, and bread, declareth thereby two substances to be in the Sacrament. By the which we have to understand, that transubstantiation in his age was not crept into the Church: and yet neither heresy nor treason therefore was ever laid to his charge for so saying.2

Emissenus, comparing a man converted to Christ, by regeneration, unto the holy mysteries converted into the body and blood of our Lord, expresseth playnly, quod in exteriori nihil additum est, & totum in interiori mutatum est. That is, that outwardly nothing is changed, and that all the change is inward. &c. wherein (no doubt) he spake plain against this Article, and yet no man in all that age did accuse him therefore either to be heretic or traitor.
