Then the Doctors asked him, "Whether it were only CHRIST's body after
the consecration, and no bread?"
And he said to them, "It is CHRIST's body and bread. For right as CHRIST
was here in manhood, and the godhead hid in the manhood: so I believe
verily that CHRIST's flesh and his blood is hid there in the form of
bread."
=SMILING THEY SAY, "IT IS AN HERESY!"=
Then they smiled each on other, deeming him taken in heresy; and said,
"It is an heresy!"
The Archbishop asked him, "What bread it was?" and the Clerks also,
"Whether it were material or not?"
Then the Lord said, "The Gospel speaketh not of this term _material_;
and therefore I will not! but say, it is CHRIST's body and bread! For
the Gospel saith, _Ego sum panis vivus qui de coelo descendi_, that is
to say, "I am quick bread that came down from heaven." For as our Lord
JESUS CHRIST is Very GOD and Very Man; so the most blessed Sacrament of
the Altar is CHRIST's body and bread."
Then they said, "It is an heresy, to say that it is bread after the
consecration and the sacramental words said, but only CHRIST's body."
The Lord said, "Saint PAUL the Apostle was as wise as ye be! and he
called it _bread_; where he saith thus _The bread that we break, is it
not the partaking of the body of the LORD?_"
Then they said, "PAUL must be otherwise understanded; for it is an
heresy to say, that it is bread after the consecration, but only
CHRIST's body: for it is against the determination of the Church."
Then they asked him, "Whether he believed not in the determination of
the Church?"
And he said, "No, forsooth! but I believe all GOD's Law, and all that
GOD wills that I believe; but not in your law nor in your determination:
for ye be no part of Holy Church, as openly your deeds shew; but very
Antichrists, contrary to GOD's law. For ye have made laws for your
covetousness."
"This," they said, "was heresy: not for to believe in the determination
of the Church."
