THE same month of July, Nicholas Hall, bricklayer, and Christopher Waid, of Dartford, suffered death, who were condemned by Maurice bishop of Rochester about the last day of June. The six articles administered to them were of the same ordinary course and effect with the other articles above specified, the brief sum whereof were these.
1. FIRST, That they were christian men and professed the catholic determinations of our holy mother church.
2. THAT they which maintain or hold otherwise than our holy mother the catholic church doth, are heretics.
3. THAT they hold and maintain, that in the sacrament of the altar, under the forms of bread and wine, is not the very body and blood of Christ. And that the said very body of Christ is verily in heaven only, and not in the sacrament.
