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.

Bede also who lived about the year 730. writing upon the psalm 21. hath these words: Edent pauperes. &c. Pauperes id est mundi contemptores, edent quidem realiter, si ad sacramenta referantur, & saturabuntur aeternaliter, qui intelligent in pane & vino visibiliter sibi proposito, inuisibile scilicet corpus verum, & sanguinē verum domini, quae verus cibus & verus potus sunt, quo non venter distenditur, sed mens saginatur. &c. that is: Poor men, to wit, despisers of the world, shall eat in deed really, if it be referred unto the Sacraments, and shall be filled eternally, because they shall understand in bread and in wine, being visibly set before them a thing invisible, to wit, the true body and true blood of the Lord, which are true meat, & true drink, wherewith not the belly is filled, but the mind is nourished.
