So far as we may judge, upon a difficult question, where little must be written and much would be required to express an exact opinion, Hugh seems to have held that by mystic sanctification the host is turned into Christ's Body ; that this conversion is not a sudden but a gradual one, until the Son offers Himself anew, and hence the Sacrifice may be said to be repeated. The story which illustrates this position best is that of the young clerk who came to him at Buckden. The bishop had just been... dedicating a large and beautiful chalice and upbraiding the heavily- endowed digni- taries for doing nothing at all for the poorly served churches from which they drew their stipends. Then he said Mass, and the clerk saw Christ in his hands, first as a little child at the Oblation, when " the custom is to raise the host aloft and bless it" ; and again when it is " raised to be broken and consumed in three pieces," " as the Son of the Highest offering Himself to the Father for man's salvation." The clerk tells him of the double vision — the voucher of a message 108 HUGH, BISHOP OF LINCOLN sent by his late crusading father, who warned him to tell the archbishop, through the Bishop of Lincoln, that the evil state of the church must be amended.
