/ then these massers do frome the
supper which Christe / and the Apostle paule hathe prescribed.
In bothe their sacrifices was the inuocation of god / a Temple /
an Aultar / slayne sacrifices / sacrificinge priestes / sleynge
of beastes / sheddinge of bloude / salte / wine / oyle / mele /
an holy feaste / holy garmentes / washinge / censinge / fyer /
singinge / prophecies / and suche other thinges / all which to
repeate it were to longe: let our Massers (if they can) shewe so
many thinges which Christe did in the holye supper: Which thinge
if they can not do / then let them cease to boaste that their
Masse is the institution of Christ and the Apostles / from which
it differethe so farre that if the Apostles and fathers of the
primatyue churche were nowe here to beholde this masse / they
sholde not knowe it to be the lords supper / but wolde surlie
marueyle at suche a monstruous mahometrie.

I omytte also that in and with their Masse they haue many
Anniuersaries yearemyndes / diriges done for the deade: But The
Lord did not institute ony of them. If they saye that Cyprian
and others of the fathers do speake of suche Annyuersaries:
I answer that those of which the fathers do make mencyon / were
nothinge els but thanckfull remembraunces of the Martirs departed /
in which they did gyue thancks to godd for them. They also in
their Masses do call vppon the saintes and holy men departed /
which is a thing most contrarie to true godlynes / and vtterly
vnknown and vnpracticed in the administracion of the Lordes
supper.

And to be shorte all their thinges which they do in their
Masses / they do choppe and chaunge / they bye and sell and sett
them furthe to most vile and filthie gayne. Wherfor / my most
Louing Brethern take ye diligent heede / les whilest ye pretend
to worshipp godd in your going to Masses / and to entreate hym
to be mercifull vnto yow / ye do not most mightyly kindle his
wrathe against you by hearinge of theise Masses: which as ye
playnly do se / ar nothing els but a shamfull deuise sett vpp to
deface the deathe of christe / a pestilent practise fownde out
to ouerthrowe the true vse of the Lordes supper / and an
Idolatrie inuented to infect the poeple and to make them
Idolatrors. whearby eich man may easily iudge / how great a
synne it is / to be partaker of a Masse.

But notwithstondinge all this which is spoken / yeat theise men
whiche thincke that they maye dissemble at the Masse / cease not
to saye
