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.
