LINCOLN. What say you, Mr. Latimer, to the second article? and recited the same.
LATIMER. There is, my lord, a change in the bread and wine, and such a change as no power, but the omnipotency of God can make, in that which before was bread, should now have the dignity to exhibit Christ's body, and yet the bread is still bread, and the wine still wine; for the change is not in the nature, but the dignity, because now that which was common bread hath the dignity to exhibit Christ's body: for whereas it was common bread, it is now no more common bread, neither ought it •o be so taken, but as holy bread sanctified by God's word.
WITH that the bishop of Lincoln smiled, saying, Lo, Mr. Latimer, see what steadfastness is in your doctrine. That which you abhorred and despised most, you now most establish: for whereas you most railed at holy bread, you now make your communion holy bread.
