      Zakarias Lakenodrako spottade [ut] nattvardsbrödet [...] och fick öronen [av]klippta, för den vanvördnad han [hade] visat mot Kristus. Ty det hölls för det rätta att den fromme skulle svälja Kristi lekamen med förtröstan, sedan han väl fått den i sin mun, även om han kände att gift lagts däri.
      Zacharias Lakenodrako spit out the communion bread, and had his ears cut off, for the irreverence he had shown toward Christ. For it was held that a pious man ought to swallow the Body of Christ with confidence, once he had taken it into his mouth, even if he knew it to be poisoned.
