To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
since the year 1000, or, as we should say, since the development of the Papacy favoured the growth of mediaeval corruption), had penetrated the whole nature of the Reformer. The place which Holy Scripture had now come by this very time (1381) to hold in the minds, both of himself and his fellow-translators and circulators of it, emphasised the attack on Transubstan- tiation. It was necessary to use very plain language.
It was often unguarded. Such language requires to be balanced by equally wel...l-attested statements of an opposite kind if we are to judge the controversy by the ordinary rules of fair play.
Thus — to give only the slightest sketch — we have the most incisive passages in the two very late works, the " Trialogus " and the " "Wicket," against the blasphemy of the received doctrine that the priest makes the Body of Christ, as if a creature could make his Creator, as if God could be so dishonoured as to be created anew every day ; the adoration of the consecrated Host, the self-exaltation and deification of man involved in the doctrine, are vehemently condemned; the absence of real distinction between adoration and so called venera- tion ruthlessly exposed ; it is " the abomination of desolation," * it is Docetism.
