An illustration of this is the joke of the priests related by Luther, who were wont during the celebration of the Mass, when the worshippers fondly imagined that the sacred formula of transubstantiation was being repeated, to replace the words Panis es et carnem fiebis, "Bread thou art and flesh thou shalt become," by Panis es et panis manebis, "Bread thou art and bread thou shalt remain."
Some of them boasted that when pretending to consecrate the elements, they uttered the words `Panis es et panis manebis; vinum es et vinum manebis. While himself performing mass, on one occasion, the priest near him, who had finished his, cried out, `Passa passa quick quick! have done with it at once! It was the fashion at the Papal Court to attack Christianity, and no person could pass for a well-bred man unless he could satirise the doctrines of the Church.
