A48813	An answer to the Bishop of Oxford's reasons for abrogating the test impos'd on all members of Parliament anno 1678, Octob. 30 in these words, I, A.B., do solemnly and sincerely, in the presence of God, profess, testifie, and declare, that I do believe that in the sacrament of the Lord's Supper there is not any transubstantiation of the elements of bread and wine into the body and blood of Christ at, or after the consecration thereof by any person whatsoever, and that the invocation of adoration of the Virgin Mary, or any other saint, and the sacrifice of the Dais, as they are now used in the Church of Rome, are superstitious and idolatrous / by a person of quality.	Lloyd, William, 1627-1717.	1688 (1688)	Wing L2673; ESTC R977	35,814	60

that_o so_o monstrous_a contradiction_n to_o all_o our_o faculty_n be_v the_o transubstantiation_n of_o the_o element_n into_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ._n and_o whereas_o the_o test_n

church_n of_o rome_n be_v superstitious_a and_o idolatrows_a the_o bishop_n thus_o that_o the_o invocation_n of_o the_o mother_n of_o god_n and_o of_o saint_n be_v idolatrous_a leave_v out_o adoration_n and_o as_o in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n and_o for_o superstitious_a and_o idolatrous_a put_v in_o the_o word_n be_v idolatrous_a but_o although_o great_a exactness_n in_o this_o
