der written: the foresayd Iohn Badby a lay man, of the sayd dioces of Worcester, appearing personally, before the reuerend father in Christ and Lord, Lord Thomas, by the grace of God bishop of Worcester, sitting in the sayd chappell for chiefe Iudge, was detected of and vpō the crime of heresie, being heretically taught, and openly mayntayned by the foresaid Iohn Badby. MarginaliaThe Sacrament of christes body.That is, that the sacrament of the body of Christ, consecrated by the priest vpon the aulter, is not the true bodye of Christ, by the vertue of the wordes of the sacrament. But that after the sacramentall woordes spoken by the prieste to make the bodye of Christ: the materiall breade doth remayne vpon the aulter as in the beginning, neither is it turned into the very body of Christ after the sacramentall woordes spoken of the priest. Which Iohn Badby, being examined and diligently demaunded by the foresayd reuerend father concerning the premisses, in thend did answer: that it was impossible that any priest shuld make the body of Christ, and that he beleued firmly that no priest could make the body of Christ by such wordes sacramentally spoken in such sorte. And also he sayd expressely, that he would neuer whyle he lyued beleue, that any priest could make the body of Christ sacramentally, vnles that first he saw manifestly the like body of Christ to be handled in the hands of the priest vpon the aultar, in his corporall forme. And furthermore he saide, that Iohn Rakier of Bristoll had so much power and authority to make the like body of Christ, as anye priest had. Moreouer he sayd, that when Christ sat at supper wyth his disciples: he had not his body in his hand, to þ^e intent to distribute it to his disciples: and he sayd expresly, that hee did not thys thing. MarginaliaI can not blame ye that ye are so angry, for it was not for your profite.And also he spake manye other woordes teaching and fortefieng the sayd heresie in the same place, both greuous, and also out of order, and horrible to the eares of the hearers, soundyng agaynst the catholike fayth.

Vpon which occasion, the same reuerende father admonished and requested the sayde Iohn Badby often tymes, and very instantly to charitie: forsomuche as he would wyllingly þ^t he should haue forsakē such heresy & opinion, holdē, taught, and mayntayned by him, in such sort against the sacrament, to renounce and vtterly abiure them, and to beleue other things which the holy mother the church doth beleue. And he informed the sayde Iohn on that behalfe both gentlye, and also laudablye. Yet the sayd Iohn Badby, althoughe he were admonished and requested both often and instantly by the sayde reuerend father: sayd and answered expresselye, that he would neuer beleue otherwise then before he had sayde, taught, and aunswered. Wherupon, the foresayd reuerend father bishop of Worcester, seing, vnderstandyng, and perceauing the foresayd Iohn Badby to mayntain and fortefie the sayd heresie, being stubburne, and proceding in the same stubburnes: pronounced the sayd Iohn to be before this time conuicted of suche an heresie, and that he hath bene, and is an heretike, and in the ende declared it in these wordes.
