But this is the heresy which they report me to hold that after the Priest hath spoken the words of consecration, there remaineth bread still. They both say,1 & also teach it for a necessary article of faith, that after those words be once spoken, there remaineth no bread, but even the selfsame body that hung upon the cross on good Friday, both flesh, blood, and bone. To this belief of theirs, say I nay: For then were our common Creed false, which saith, that he sitteth on the right hand of God the father almighty, & from thence shall come to judge the quick and dead. Lo, this is the heresy that I hold, and for it must suffer the death. But as touching the holy and blessed supper of the Lord, I believe it to be a most necessary remembrance of his glorious sufferings and death. Moreover, I believe as much therein, as my eternal and only redeemer Jesus Christ would I should believe.
