So when master Doctor had ended his collation, he said unto Kerby: Thou good man, doest not thou believe that the blessed sacrament of the altar is the very flesh and blood of Christ, and no bread even as he was borne of the virgin Mary?1 Kerby answering boldly, said: I do not so believe. How doest thou believe, said the Doctor? Kerby said, I do believe that in the Sacrament that Jesus Christ instituted at his last supper on Maundy Thursday to his Disciples (which ought of us likewise to be done) is the death and passion, and his blood shedding for the redemption of the world, to be remembered: and (as I said before) yet bread, and more then bread, for that it is consecrated to a holy use.
