Whereunto he aunswered in this manner: That hee was a Priest, and was consecrated and made a Priest about eightene yeares past, and that he was some∣time a Blacke Fryer professed: that also hee was assured vnto a mayd, whome he intended to haue maryed.

And being agayne demaunded his opinion vppon the Sacrament, he said, that it was a remembraunce of Chry∣stes body, and that many haue bene deceiued in the belee∣uing the true body of Christ to be in the Sacrament of the Aultar, and that all such as doe not beleue as he doth, doe erre.
