Articles ministered by RICHARD, Bishop of Dover, to Mr. BLAND, and likewise to the rest following after him.
FIRST, That thou art of the diocese of Canterbury, and so subject to the jurisdiction of the archbishop there.
2. Item, That thou art a christian man, and dost profess the laws of God, and faith of Christ's catholic church, and the determination of the same.
3. Item, That all persons who teach, preach, believe, affirm, hold, maintain, or say within the diocese of Canterbury, otherwise than our holy mother the church doth, are excommunicate persons, and heretics, and as excommunicate and heretics ought to be named, reputed, and taken.
4. Item, That thou, contrary to the catholic faith and determination of our holy mother church, within the diocese of Canterbury, hast openly spoken, maintained, holden, affirmed, and believed, and yet dost hold, affirm, and believe, that in the blessed sacrament of the altar, under the forms of bread and wine, there is not the very body and blood of our Saviour Jesus Christ in substance, but only a token, sign, and remembrance thereof, and that the very body and blood of Christ is only in heaven, and no where else.
