And these commonly were then the arguments of these Monks,1 wherewith they persuaded the people to believe their transubstantiation. But to leave these monks fictions, & to return again to Berengarius, thus Malmesbury ⟨p. 1152⟩of him reporteth, that after he had once or twice recanted (as is aforesaid) yet notwithstanding this doctrine of the Sacrament still remained in the mind of his hearers. And how so ever the tyranny of the Pope did drive him thorough fear to deny his opinion, and wrought him much trouble, yet notwithstanding after his death he lacked not his well willers. In the number of whom was Hildebertus Bishop Cenomanensis, whose verses in commendation of his master, I thought here not unworthy to be preserved, being otherwise rare peradventure to be found in our story writers.
And these commonly were then the argumēts of these Monkes,1 wherwith they perswaded the people to beleeue their transubstantiation. But to leaue these monkes fictions, & to returne againe to Berengarius, thus Malmesbury ⟨p. 1152⟩of him reporteth, that after he had once or twise recā ted (as is aforesayde) yet notwythstanding this doctrine of the Sacrament still remained in the minde of his hearers. And how so euer the tirāny of the Pope did driue him thorough feare to denye his opinion, and wrought him much trouble, yet notwithstanding after hys death he lacked not his well willers. In the number of whom was Hildebertus Bishop Cenomanensis, whose verses in commendation of his master, I thought here not vnworthy to be preserued, being otherwise rare peraduenture to be founde in our storie wryters.
