Be it known (saith he) of all men,1 that I Anne Askew do confess this to be my faith and belief, notwithstanding my reports made afore to the contrary. I believe that they which are houseled at the hands of a Priest, whether his conversation be good or not, do receive the body and blood of Christ in substance really. Also I do believe, that after the consecration, whether it be received or reserved, it is no less then the very body and blood of Christ in substance. Finally I do believe in this and in all other Sacraments of holy Church, in all points according to the old Catholic faith of the same. In witness whereof I the said Anne have subscribed my name.
