Misproclaim

Not only is it a switch to allegory in a realistic novel, not only does it misproclaim its own message, it is not even really a murder!

Since the Lord's Supper is a proclamation of Jesus' death (v. 26), those who practice it in an unworthy manner are misproclaiming and thus are answerable for the body and blood of the Lord (v. 27).

And if they do not carve them in this way, or if they misproclaim feast days or ember days, then they owe three marks to the bishop.
