vse of it the communicantes shuld be put in
mynde / and made partakers of that only propiciatorie sacrifice
which christe offered ons only for all euer vppon the crosse.
And therfor ther Masse / in which they wold worcke such
marueyles / and the Lordes supper ar vtterly vnlyke. But here
they will reply and saye.

The fathers do speake thus of this Sacrifice / We graunte
indeede / that the fathers do often tymes speake so as thoughe
that the lorde wer offered in this administracion of the
Sacrament / or sacrificed: But they vsed this worde / Sacrifice,
improperly / for by that kinde of speaking they did
onderstonde / the offringes of praise / and sacrifices of
thanckes made and gyuen for christes sacrifice done vppon the
crosse / This they called to sacrifice. Our sacrificing prests
ar not content with this / for they will haue their own worcke
to be an vnwonted worcke / belonging to them alone / which
neither the scriptures / nor the fathers do teache: ffor to
offer this Sacrifice of whiche the fathers do speake /
partayneth not to the preist alone / but to the whole poeple
that stondith by / and doth communicate / And so it is a common
oblacion and sacrifice of all / not of the preiste more then of
the poeple / but this only that the preist both in wordes and
action / doth go before the poeple.

[[de Ciuitate dei. lib. 10. cap. 6.]]

Augustine doth saye / that the churche is offered in that
offeringe which it doth offer. For all which do communicate /
they do offer them selues vnto godd / and do testifie that their
will is / to abide in christe.

The papistes do holde also that the breade is turned into the
substaunce of christes bodie / and that ther remaynith nothing
but the qualitie and accidence of breade as whitenes / &c. for
the substaunce / saye they / is christes bodie. But the scripture
saith that christe in his laste supper did gyue breade vnto his
disciples /

[[1. Cor. 11.]]

and paule callith it breade also / yeat in the Masse the
papistes saye that it is otherwise.

The vse of the breade and wyne by christis institucion is only /
that the congregacion shuld eate and drincke therof in the
remembrance of christe / But the papistes in their Masse do most
shamefully abuse them both. For wheare as the worde of godd
saythe:

[[Deutron 6]]
[[math. 4.]]

Thow shalt worshipp the Lorde thy godd and hym only shalt thow
serue / They in ther masse do lyfte vpp the breade and wyne /
and euen
