Of the institution of the sacrament of the blessed bodie and blood of Christ, (by some called) the masse of Christ eight bookes; discovering the superstitious, sacrilegious, and idolatrous abominations of the Romish masse. Together with the consequent obstinacies, overtures of perjuries, and the heresies discernable in the defenders thereof. By the R. Father in God Thomas L. Bishop of Coventry and Lichfield.

Of the Canon of the Councell of Nice, obiected for proofe of a Corporall Prescnce of Christ in the Eucharist.
SECT. I.
THis (as it is delivered by your a Cardinall, taken out, as he saith, of the Vatican Library) standeth thus: Let us not here in this divine Table be in humblenesse intent unto the Bread, and Cup which is set before us, but lifting up our minds let us understand by faith the Lambe of God set upon that Table: The Lambe of God, which taketh away the sinnes of the World, offered unbloodily of the Priest. And we receiving truly his Body and Blood, let us thinke these to be the Symbols of our Resurrection. For this Cause doe we receive not much, but little, that wee may understand this is not to satisfie, but to sancti∣fie. So the Canon.
