BE it known to all faithful people, that as touching the blessed sacrament of the altar, I do firmly & undoubtedly believe, that after the words of consecration be spoken by the Priest, according to the common usage of this Church of England,1 there is present really the body and blood of our Saviour Jesus Christ, whether the minister which doth consecrate, be a good man, or a bad man, & that also whensoever the said Sacrament is received, whether the receiver be a good man or a bad man, he doth receive it really & corporally. And moreover, I do believe, that whether the said Sacrament then received of the Minister, or ⟨p. 1237⟩else reserved to be put into the pyx, or to be brought to any person that is impotent or sick, yet there is the very body and blood of our said saviour: so that whether the Minister or the receiver be good or bad, yea whether the Sacrament be received or reserved, always there is the blessed body of Christ really. And this thing with all other things touching the Sacrament & other sacraments of the Church, and all things else touching the christian belief, which are taught and declared in the kings Majesties book lately set forth for the erudition of the christian people, I Anne Askew, otherwise called Anne Kyme, do truly and perfectly believe, and so here presently confess and knowledge. And here I do promise that henceforth I shall never say or do any thing against the premisses, or against any of them. In witness whereof, I the said Anne have subscribed my name unto these presents. Written the xx. day of March, in the year of our Lord God. 1545. Ex Regist. 2By me Anne Askew, otherwise called Anne Kyme. Edmund Bish. of London. John Bish of Bathe.
