One of the great 16c. questions is the inspiration for post-Reformation Anglican view of Eucharist.

In this🧵we trace it to Ratramnus of Corbey (868AD) and Aelfric of Eynsham (955AD), great medieval opponents of Romish transubstantiation (& thru them directly to Church Fathers).
1. "the Doctrine of Ratramnus was the very same Doctrine which the Church of England embraced, as most consonant to Scripture and the Fathers"
-1688 English ed. of Ratramnus: books.google.com/books?id=ZshBA…
2. "In the 10th c. some [assumed] the fancy that in the Sacrament is Christ's Natural Body, the one which he took of the Holy Virgin, suffer'd on the Cross, &c. Others followed the Catholick Faith of the Ancient Church, that it is Christ's Spiritual Body"

The “descensus” clause in the Creed formed of of several flashpoints between the orthodox Anglican Divines, and dissenters. Divorce, liturgy, episcopacy, and the sacraments and rites of the Church being others.
