ly
supper vnto them in bothe kindes / as he receyued it of the
Lorde / heere haue they nothing to saye. And vnto this madnes
some of these masters do come at lenghth / That they saye that
the holy communion is not to be called the Lordes supper / for
wher is it (saye they) called the supper of the Lorde?

[[Dotor VVeston.]]

Forsothe Paule / the scoler of the holy ghost / calleth it so.
1. Cor. 11. Yea they aske farther / where the scripture
teacheth / that this holy sacrament shulde be gyuen vnto women /

[[Lyberall to Women]]

as thoughe they wolde be counted of fauour and of their
liberalitie / to gyue a communion vnto women /

[[1. Cor. 11.]]

and not because Godd in his worde hath appointed the sacrament of
hys bodye and blud to be delyuered vnto women as well as to men.
In the holy scripture it is writen / Let a man proue hym selfe.
In this worde man is man and woman comprehended. No saith a
Doctor the greke worde is / +ane:r+ which signifieth the mankinde
only:

[[Maister Latymers answer therfor is true.]]

Thys Doctor lyeth lowdly / for the greke worde / in that place
is +anthro:pos+ / which signifieth bothe man and woman. The
scriptures also do teache /

[[1 Cor. 10.]]

that the holy communion doth partayne vnto all them / which ar
one breade / and one cupp: wherfor except they wyll exclude
women out of the bodye of Christ / and shew that they be not of
the churche of Christe / how shall / or can this papist /
depryue them of the holy communion? Especially seinge it is
playnly taught / that in Christe there is neyther man / nor
woman / neyther bonde / nor fre / but all are one in Christe.

[[Gal. 3.]]

But to returne to their sacriledge / in which thei do take away
one parte of the sacrament. Of this thefte the institution of
the Lorde / the Epistle of Paule / the custome and manier of the
primatiue churche / which was to mynister this holy supper in
both kindes / dothe accuse them / which dyd continue euen vntill
the tyme of Thomas Aquinas / and vnto this daye it continueth in
all the Easte church / wherfore seing tht in this thinge also
they are so obstinate / they can be none otherwyse estemed but
as heretykes.

They haue also another most pernicious and hurtefull doctryne /
of the calling vpon the dead sainctes / and worshippe / and
adoration / to be gyuen to theyr Images.

[[Deut. 6.]]

The holy scripture sayth / Thou shalt worshipp the Lorde thy
God / and hym onlye
