The hoy Supper of the Lord.

Christ ordained his holy supper in memoriall of his death & passion, and that he had once offered vp his body and bloud vpon the crosse for vs.

The Supper of the reformed Churches.

The Supper which we celebrate is in memorial of the death and passion of Christ: and that he hath once offered his bodie and bloud for vs vpon the crosse: therefore is our supper the supper of the Lord.

The prophane Masse of the Pope.

The popish Priest saith his Masse in memoriall of the Saints, both he and she. And those oftentimes do they hold for Saints, whose soules are burning in heil. Hee sayth his Masse also to find things which be lost, and that for mo∣ney. The Priest vseth the Masse for a plaister or drugge against all infirmities. And, which is more: hee sacri∣ficeth (saith he) Iesus Christ in his Masse, and presen∣teth him to God his father, for the sinnes of the quicke and the dead. Which Christ, did once vpon the crosse and none but he onely, could euer doe the same. Be∣cause (as Saith the Apostle Heb. 7. chap. vers. 26.) it be∣houed that the Priest which purged sinnes, should be ho∣ly, innocent, pure, separate from sinners, and made high∣er then the heauens, which needed not euery day to offer sacrifice, first for his owne sinnes, and then for the sinnes of the people. This Christ once perfourmed, offering vp himselfe for the sinnes of all men. Examine the liues of the popish priests, and how farre off they are from that puritie, which it behoueth the Priest to haue, that offered the expiatorie sacrifice, will appeare. Therefore the Masse is not the Supper of the Lord.
