The Martyrdom of JOHN WEBB, Gentleman, GEORGE ROPER, and GREGORY PARKE, at Canterbury.
JOHN WEBB was brought before the bishop of Dover, and Nicholas Harpsfield, or some other deputed in their room, on the 16th of September, and there had propounded unto him such articles as were commonly administered by Bonner to those of his jurisdiction: and being willed for that present to depart, and to deliberate with himself upon the matter, against the next time of his appearance; he made answer, that he ••uld no otherwise say (by God's grace) than he ha• already said, which was this: As touching the ••••ament of Christ's body, said he, I do believe it to be left unto his church (with thanksgiving) in co••••emoration of his death and passion, until his ••ming ag••n. So that it is left in remembrance of his ⟨p. 939⟩body, and not by the words of consecration to be made wholly his body, really, substantially, and the same body that was born of the virgin Mary: I utterly deny that.
