TO the second article he answered, that he believeth in all the sacraments according to Christ's institution, and the catholic church; but not according to the bishop of Rome's church: and further said, that he doth not believe now as he had done in times past; for in times past he believed as the church then believed, but now he doth not so believe; for the church of Rome hath deceived us, and therefore he said he did not believe as the church of Rome believeth, but as Christ hath taught him; and further said, that he was so taught to believe by the preaching of Mr. Alvey, and others whose names he remembereth not, who did preach the word of God truly and sincerely.
TO the third he answered, that he hath and doth believe, that Christ's body is in heaven, and no where else: and further, that he will never believe that Christ's body is in the sacrament.
TO the fourth he answered, confessing and firmly believing the same to be true.
