Shut. Then show me whether the words which the priest speaks over the cup, do change the substance, or whether the mind of the priest doth it?
Shet. Then shew me whether the words which the priest speaks over the cup, do change the substance, or whether the mind of the priest doth it?
Harps. The mind of the priest doth it, and not the words.
Shut. If the mind of the priest doth it, and not the words, if the priest then do mind his harlot, or any other vain thing, that thing so minded was there made, and so the people do worship the priest's harlot instead of Christ's blood: and again, none of the people can tell when it is Christ's blood, or when it is not, seeing the matter standeth in the mind of the priest. For no man can tell what the priest meaneth but himself; and so are they ever in danger of committing idolatry.
