Note 88 — Chapter XIV · THE REIGN OF JAMES II.
Reading edition
"In all the disputes relating to that mystery before the civil wars, the church of England protestant writers owned the real presence, and only abstracted from the modus or manner of Christ's body being present in the eucharist, and therefore durst not say but it might be there by transubstantiation as well as by any other way.... It was only of late years that such principles have crept into the church of England; which, having been blown into the parliament house, had raised continual tumults about religion ever since. Those unlearned and fanatical notions were never heard of till Doctor Stillingfleet's late invention of them, by which he exposed himself to the lash, not only of the Roman catholics, but to that of many of the church of England controvertists too." Life of James, ii. 146.
