Rid. Why my Lord, suffer me to speak three words.
Rid. Why my Lord, suffer me to speake three words.
Linc. Well M. Ridley, to morrow you shall speak 40. The time is far paste: therefore we require your answer determinately. What say you to the first article? and thereupon rehearsed the same.
Linc. Well M. Ridley, to morow you shall speake 40. The time is farre paste: therefore wee require your aunswere determinately. What say you to the first article? and thereupon rehearsed the same.
Rid. 1My protestation always saved, that by this mine answer I do not condescend, to your authority, in that you are Legate to the Pope, I answer thus: In a sense the first article is true, and in a sense it is false: for if you take really for verè, for spiritually by grace and efficacy, then is it true that the natural body and blood of Christ is in the sacrament verè & realiter, in deed and really: but if you take these terms so grossly, that you would conclude thereby a natural body having motion, to be contained under the forms of bread and wine verè & realiter, then really is not the body and blood of Christ in the Sacrament, no more then the holy Ghost is in the element of water in our Baptism. Because this answer was not understood, the Notaries wist not how to note it: wherefore the Bishop of Lincoln willed him to answer either affirmatively, or negatively, either to grant the Article, or to deny it.
