Bishop. Then said the Bishop, that he had all their answers, and that they did not believe as they said. For they said, Christ called it his body, but it was not his natural body: but thou shall answer me by and by, whether it be his body or not, or else I will anger thee.

Yet he would not say but my soul might be saved: with many moe words, and desired me that I would believe him, for he would speak the truth, beginning how Christ fed five thousand with four loaves, and how he turned the water into wine: even so Christ took bread and blest it, and when he had done, he brake it, and said: This is my body, and then he commā dead them to eat it, and therefore it must needs be his body.
