LATIMER. Tush, a rush for your holy bread. I say the bread in the communion is an holy bread indeed.
BUT the bishop of Lincoln interrupted him, and said, O, you make a difference betwixt holy bread and holy bread (with that the audience laughed). Well, Mr. Latimer, is not this your answer, that the substance of bread and wine remaineth after the words of consecration?
LATIMER▪ Yes, verily, it must needs be so. For Christ himself calleth it bread, St. Paul calleth it bread, the doctors confess the same, the nature of a sacrament confirmeth the same, and I call it holy bread, not in that I make no difference between your holy bread and this, but for the holy office which it beareth, that is, to be a figure of Christ's ⟨p. 894⟩body, and not only a bare figure, but effectually to represent the same. SO the notaries penned his answer in the affirmative.
LINCOLN. What say you to the third question? and recited the same.
