And he said, "CHRIST saith, _Woe be to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye close up the Kingdom of Heaven before men: for, sooth, ye enter not yourselves! nor ye will not suffer them that would, to enter in!_ And thus, ye be the disciples of Antichrist! For ye will not suffer GOD's Law to go through, nor to be taught and preached of good priests; which will speak against your sins, and reprove them: but of such that be flatterers, which sustain you in your sins and cursedness." Then said the Archbishop, "By our Lady! Sir, there shall no such preach, that preacheth dissension and division, if GOD will!" Then said the Lord of COBHAM to the Archbishop, "CHRIST saith that _there shall be so great tribulation, as never was since the beginning._ And this shall be in your days! and by you! for ye have slain many men, and shall more hereafter: but CHRIST saith, _Except that those days were shortened, no flesh should be saved_: but hastily GOD will short[en] your days! Furthermore, Bishops, Priests, and Deacons be grounded in GOD's Law: but not these other Religious [_Monks and Friars_] as far as I can wit." * * * * * =THE 4 DETERMINATIONS OF THE CHURCH.= Then a Doctor of Law, one Master JOHN KEMP, put to him these four Points that follow: "_The faith and determination of Holy Church touching the blessed Sacrament of the Altar is this. That after the sacramental words be said of a priest in his_ Mass, _the material bread that was before, is turned into CHRIST's body, and the material wine that was before, is turned into CHRIST's very blood: and so there remaineth in the Sacrament of the Altar, no material bread nor material wine; the which were there, before the saying of the sacramental words._ Sir, believe you this?" The Lord of COBHAM said, "This is not my belief. For my belief is, as I said to you before, that the worshipful Sacrament of the Altar is very CHRIST's body in form of bread." Then said the Archbishop, "Sir JOHN! ye must say otherwise!" The Lord of COBHAM said, "Nay, if GOD will! but that it is CHRIST's body in form of bread, as all the common belief is." The Doctor [JOHN KEMP] said, "The second is this, _The Holy Church hath determined that every Christian man living bodily upon the earth oweth_ [ought] _to be shriven to a priest ordained by the Church, if he may come to him._ Sir, what say ye to this?" The Lord answered and said, "A sick man and sore wounded had need to have a sure Leech and a true, knowing his cure; and therefore a man should be principally shriven to GOD; and else his confession is nought. And a man should rather go and be counselled with a good priest that knoweth GOD's Law, and liveth thereafter; than with his own priest, if he were an evil man, or with any other such."
