(5.251) relates how Collins, crazed by his wife's infidelity, held up a
dog when the priest elevated the host at
Mass. Although non compos
mentis, Collins was burnt as a heretic at Smithfield in 1538,
cf. PS 3.39. Since "dog" is "God" spelled backwards, his
action might indicate a disbelief in Christ's Real Presence

That the pope and his spirites be not the church maye
this wise be
proued. He that hath no faith to be saued thorow
Christe / is not of Christes churche. The pope beleueth not to
be saued thorow Christe. For he teacheth to trust in holy workes

mens prayars and holy liuynge / in freres and freres cotes / in
saintes merites / and the significacions

preach vn to vs and to do vs seruice / and not that we shuld
beleue in them and serue them. And a thousand such
supersticiousnesses setteth he before vs in steade
