What diddest thou say, said the accuser? I said (quoth he) that after our Lord Jesus Christ had eaten the Paschal Lamb in his latter Supper with his Apostles, and fulfilled the ceremonies of the old law, he instituted a new Sacrament in remembrance of his death then to come. He took bread, he blessed, and brake it, and gave it to his Disciples, and said: Take ye, eat ye, 1this is my body, which shall be broken and given for you: And likewise the cup, blessed, and bad them drink all thereof, for that was the cup of the new testament, which should be shed for the forgiving of many. How oft ye do this, do it in my remembrance.

Then said the B. of S. Andrews,1 and the Official of Lothian, with the Dean of Glasgow, and many other Prelates: we know this well enough. The earl of Huntly said: thou answerest not to that which is laid to thee: say either nay or yea thereto. He answered, if ye will admit God & his word spoken by the mouth of his blessed son Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour, ye will admit that I have said: for I have said or taught nothing, but that the word, which is the trial and touchstone saith, which ought to be Judge to me, and to all the world.
