I profess likewise, that in thè Mass there is offered to God a true, p r o p e r, p r o p itia to r y Sacr ific e f o r the liv in g and the dea d. A n d that in the most H o ly Sacram ent o f the E u c h a ris t, there is truly, really and su bsta ntia lly the B o d y and Blood, to geth er with the Soul and D iv in ity of Our L o r d , Jesus Christ, and that there is made a c o n v e r s io n o f the whole s u b s ta n c e o f the B read into the B o d y , and o f the whole su bs ta n c e o f the W in e into the B loo d ; which c o n v e r s io n the Cath olic Church calls T r a n su b s ta n tia tio n . I also c o n fe s s that, under either kin d alone, Christ is r e ce iv e d whole and entire, and a true Sacram ent. 1 ste ad fa stly hold that there is a P u r g a t o r y , and that the souls therein det ained are helped by the suffrages o f the fa ith fu l. Lik ew is e , that the sa ints r e ig n in g to geth er with Christ are to be honoure d and in v o k e d , and that they offer pr ayers to G o d f o r us, and that their relics are to be held in ve ne ratio n.
