There is one universal Church of the faithful, without which none can be saved, in the which Church the self same Jesus Christ is both Priest and also the sacrifice, 1whose body and blood are truly contained in the Sacrament of the altar, under the forms of bread and wine, the bread being transubstantiated into the body and the wine, into the blood, by the power and working of God: so that to the accomplishing of this mystery of unity, we might take of his, the same which he hath taken of ours. And this sacrament none can make or consecrate, but he that is a priest lawfully ordained, according to the keys of the Church, which Jesus Christ hath left to his Apostles, and to their successors. &c.
