LINCOLN. Well, Mr. Ridley, to-morrow you shall speak forty. The time is far past; therefore we require your answer determinately. What say you to the first article? and there upon rehearsed the same.
RIDLEY. My protestation always saved, that by this mine answer, I do not condescend to your authority, in that your are legate to the pope, I answer thus: In a sense the first a••icle is true, and in a sense it is false; for if you take really for truly, for spiritually by grace and efficacy, then it is true that the natural body and blood of Christ it in the sacrament really and truly; but if you take these terms so grossly, that you would conclude thereby a natural body having motion, to be contained under th• for•• of bread and wine, really and truly, then really is not the body and blood of Christ in the sacrament, no more than the H•ly Ghost is in the element of our baptism. Because this answer was not understood, the notaries knew not how to note it; wherefore the bishop of Lincoln […] him to answer affirmatively or negatively, either to grant •he article, or to deny it.
