in the steede of the oblation of Christe, refusing to receaue the sacrament of his body and bludde our selues (as hee ordained) and trustinge to haue remission of our sinnes by the sacrifice of the prieste in the Masse, and thereby also to obtayne release of the paines in Purgatorye, wee doo not onlye iniurye to Christe, but al∣so committe moste detestable ydolatry. For these bee but false doctrines, without shame deui∣sed, and fayned by wicked Popishe priestes, I∣dolatres, Monkes and Friers, whiche for lu∣cre haue altered and corrupted the moste holye supper of the Lorde, and tourned yt into ma∣nifeste Idolatrye. Wherefore all godly men ought with all their harte to refuse and abhorre all suche blasphemy againste the sonne of God.
And forasmuche as in suche Masses is ma∣nifeste wyckednes and Idolatrye (wherein the prieste alone maketh oblation satisfactorye, and applieth the same for the quicke and the dead at hys wyll and pleasure) all suche popishe Mas∣ses are to bee clearlye taken awaye oute of chry∣stiane Churches, and the trewe vse of the Lor∣des supper is to be restored again, wherin god∣lye people assembled togither, maye receaue the sacrament euery man for himself, to declare that he remembreth what benefite he hathe receaued by the deathe of CHRIST, and to testifye that he is a membre of Christes body, fed with hys fleshe and drinkynge hys bludde spiritually.
