Bland. Lay them to my charge by the law, and I will answer them, if you can prove that I am bound to answer to that which was done a year ago or more: for if you may do that, you may also lay to my charge, and compel me to answer to all things done in all my life.
Bland. It is a year and ten weeks since the words were spoken, and I have been a prisoner ever since, and have been at five sessions, and never could have my cause tried. Methinks your charities should think it punishment enough, if I had been guilty.
Collins. All this will not serve you; you must needs answer, and it will be better for you to answer now than another time. Will you reform yourself, and go to the church, worship Christ in the blessed sacrament of the altar, and be obedient unto all the queen's laws?
THEN they espied Mr. Cox the lawyer, and called him in, and said, Here is a lawyer can tell you are bound by law to answer: And he said as they had said.
Collins. Do you not believe, that after the consecration of the blessed sacrament of the altar, there remaineth no substance of bread, but the substance of Jesus Christ, both God and man?
Collins. Do you not believe, that after the consecration of the blessed sacrament of the altar, there remaineth no substance of bread, but the subst••ce of Jesus Christ, both God and man?
Bland. Mr. Commissary, I know not by any law why you should ask me that question more than any other man here. And after a little talk, my lord of Dover asked me this question: Dost thou not believe, after the consecration, that it is the body of Christ? And I said, No, I do not so believe: for the scriptures do not teach me, that there should remain the flesh of Christ, to eat as a man should eat man's flesh.
THEN Mr. Glassier said, That was the opinion of the Capernaites, there is no man here of that opinion: and spake long of cutting of Christ's body, as men cut flesh in the shambles.
THEN Mr. Glasier said, That was the opinion of the Capernaites, there is no man here of that opinion: and spake long of cutting of Christ's body, as men cut flesh in the shambles.
THEN Dr. Faucet said, Mr. Bland, forasmuch as you and I were brought up both in one house, and born both in one parish, I would be as glad as any man alive to do you good; but you may not thus stand against the church. For Christ saith, You must humble yourself, and take up his cross, and follow him: and to humble yourself in this place, is to be content, and no• stick to your own judgment, but to humble yourself to the holy church, which hath determined, that after the consecration there remaineth no bread, but the natural body and blood of Christ.
Bland. Mr. Doctor, if you take humbling of ourselves in that place, to admit the determination of the church, then must we know by the scriptures, that the same church determined nothing but according to the scriptures, as this is not: and therefore I do not believe any such transubstantiation, nor ever will, God willing. Then, says he, I have done with you; I will no more pray for you than for a dog.
THEN said Mr. Glassier, How think you? Did St. Paul, when he said, Is not the bread that we ⟨p. 707⟩break a partaking of the body of Christ? did he mean baker's bread?
THEN said Mr. Glasier, How think you? Did St. Paul, when he said, Is not the bread that we ⟨p. 707⟩break a partaking of the body of Christ? did he mean baker's bread?
