go_v against_o all_o antiquity_n and_o all_o divinity_n but_o they_o hold_v which_o be_v a_o marvelous_a gross_a error_n also_o transubstantion_n in_o the_o sacrament_n namely_o that_o after_o the_o word_n of_o consecration_n the_o bread_n and_o wine_n be_v change_v into_o the_o very_a substance_n of_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n and_o this_o they_o will_v seem_v to_o ground_n upon_o

this_o be_v my_o blood_n i_o be_o sure_a they_o will_v not_o say_v that_o the_o cup_n be_v the_o blood_n of_o christ_n as_o the_o word_n be_v but_o they_o will_v grant_v a_o figure_n in_o those_o
