Stran 125 - Scriptures, till they were nine or ten years standing there;" and from that shocking dogma maintained in a work considered of great authority in those days, " that the decrees of bishops in the church, are of greater authority, weight, and dignity, than the Scriptures themselves.
Stran 137 - the consecrated host, which we see upon the altar, is neither Christ nor any part of him, but an effectual sign of him.
