4. ITEM, That thou after thy said entry into religion, and profession and orders aforesaid, didst take to wife a widow, and with her hadst carnal copulation, and didst get with her a woman child, breaking thereby thy vow and order, and also the ordinance of the church.
5. ITEM, That thou hast believed and taught, and so dost believe, that in the sacrament of the altar, under the visible signs there, that is to say, under the forms of bread and wine, there is really and truly the true and very natural body and blood of our Saviour Jesus Christ.
6. ITEM, That the belief of the catholic church is, that in having the body and blood of Christ really and truly contained in the sacrament of the altar, is to have (by the omnipotent power of Almighty God) the body and blood of Christ invisibly and really present under the said sacrament, and not to make thereby a new God, or a new Christ, or a new body of Christ.
7. ITEM, That it may stand well together, and so is the faith of the catholic church, that the body of Christ is visibly and truly ascended into heaven, and there is in the visible form of his humanity; and yet the same body in substance is invisibly and truly contained in the said sacrament of the altar.
8. ITEM, That Christ at his last supper taking bread into his hands, blessing it, breaking it, giving it to his apostles, and saying, Take, eat, this is my body; did institute a sacrament there, willing that his body really and truly should be contained in the said sacrament, no substance of bread and wine there remaining, but only the accidents thereof.
TO the second article he answereth and confesseth, That he being under age, did profess the said order and religion, and afterwards by the authority of king Henry VIII. he was dispensed with for the same religion.
TO the fourth he answereth, and confesseth the first part thereof to be true; and to the second part of the same article he answereth and saith, that in marriage he brake no vow, because he was set at liberty to marry, both by the laws of this realm, and also by the laws and ordinances of the church of the same.
TO the fifth he answereth and confesseth, That he hath believed and taught as it is contained in this article, but he doth not now so believe or teach.
TO the eighth he answereth and doth believe▪ that it is true; that is to say, that Christ taking bread at ⟨p. 566⟩his last supper into his hands, blessing it, breaking it, giving it to his disciples, and saying, Take, eat, this is my body, did institute a sacrament there. And to the other part of this article, namely, Willing that his body really and truly should be contained in the said sacrament, no substance of bread and wine there remaining, but only the accidents thereof, he answereth, that he doth not •elieve the same to be true.
