some practice translating from Walsingham's Historia Anglicana (vol.I p.450 of Riley's 1864 ed.)
The Derangement of John Wycliff
At the same time, that old hypocrite, the angel of Satan, harbinger of the Antichrist, not to be called "John Wycliff," but rather "Wykbeleve" (wicked belief), the heretic, his derangement continuing, has seemed to devour Jordan, and plunge all Christians into hell: reconsidering even the wretched opiniones of Berengari and Oakleaf, has worked to build upon them: after having been consecrated in Mass by a priest, the true bread and wine, as they were before, become at that instant Christ, as it has always been. But more specifically, this bread is worth no more than any other unless it is given the true blessing of a priest. Yet if this were the body of christ, he has professed, the neck of his God could be broken into pieces. He has additionally confirmed that Christians are mistaken in venerating that Sacrament, saying that bread is an inanimate thing, and one would rather venerate a toad, or whatever living thing, rather than that, because it is much better to praise an animate thing than something lacking a soul: and with such ravings he has seduced many into the same error.
