Why (quoth the Earle of Huntley) hast thou not a Judge good enough? and trowest thou that we know not God and his word? Answer to that is spoken to thee: and then they made the accuser speak the same thing over again. Thou saidest (quoth the accuser) and hast taught, that the bread and wine in the Sacrament of the altar, after the words of the consecration, are not the body and blood of our Saviour Jesus Christ.
Why (quoth the Earle of Huntley) hast thou not a Iudge good inough? and trowest thou that we know not God and his word? Aunswere to that is spoken to thee: and then they made the accuser speake the same thing ouer againe. Thou saydest (quoth the accuser) and hast taught, that the bread and wine in the Sacrament of the aultar, after the words of the consecration, are not the body and bloud of our Sauiour Iesus Christ.
He answered: I said never more then the write saith, nor yet more then I have said before.1 For I know well by S. Paul when he sayeth: Whosoever eateth this bread, and drinketh of this cup unworthily, receiveth to himself damnation. And therefore when I taught (which was but seldom, and to them only which required and desired me) I said, that if the Sacrament of the altar were truly ministered, and used as the son of the living God did institute it, where that was done, there was God himself by his divine power, by the which he is over all.
He aunswered: I sayd neuer more then the write sayth, nor yet more then I haue sayd before.1 For I know wel by S. Paule when he sayeth: Whosoeuer eateth this bread, and drinketh of thys cup vnwoorthely, receaueth to hymselfe damnation. And therefore when I taught (which was but seldome, and to them only which required and desired me) I sayd, that if the Sacrament of the aultar were truly ministred, and vsed as the sonne of the liuing God did institute it, where that was done, there was God himselfe by hys diuine power, by the which he is ouer all.
