Christ delivered the holy Communion under both kinds, and so was it used in the Primitive Church, and in the times of the doctors, Chrysostom, Ambrose, Gregory, Augustine, and Hierome. But our fathers in the Council holden at Constance of late years, have gone from the original, and have decreed against Christ himself, against his Apostles, and Doctors: that, to minister the Communion to a lay man under both kinds, is an open heresy. Alas, (good brethren) I beseech you consider by the way, in what state was the Church of Christ then, when Christs own institution, and the Apostles doctrine was called heresy?

Christ, his Apostles, & the catholic fathers used their prayers in a common tongue, that the people might perceive what was said in the Church, & say Amen. But, how near our later fathers come to that original, it needeth no rehearsal. For you have heard it taught you as a necessary doctrine, that your prayers should be in the Latin tongue, although you did not understand what ye prayed for: and that kind of prayer hath been called devotion.
