“Now we eate that bodye which was eaten before he was boren by the fayfull”“Now we eate that body be whiche was eaten before hee was wine, by fayth”
“See a transubstantiation”“Here is no transubstantiation”
“A remembraunce after Christ”“A remembrance of Christ”

Note(s): Foxe also departs from the 1566/67 A Testimonie by changing the word “masse” to “supper”
