More over, when the People cometh to the holy Communion, the Sacrament ought to be given them in Both Kinds: for so both Christ hath commanded, and the Apostles in every place have ordained, and all the Ancient Fathers and Catholic Bishops have followed the same. And who so doth contrary to this, he (as Gelasius saith)1 committeth Sacrilege. And therefore we say, that our Adversaries at this day, who having violently thrust out, and quite forbidden the Holy Communion, do without the word of God, without the Authority of any Ancient Council, without any Catholic Father, without any Example of the Primitive Church, yea and without reason also, defend, and maintain their Private Masses, and the mangling of the Sacraments, and do this not only against the plain express Commandment of Christ, but also against all Antiquity, do wickedly therein, & are very Churcherobbers.
More ouer, when the People commeth to the holy Communion, the Sacrament ought to be geuē them in Bothe Kindes: for so bothe Christe hath commaunded, and the Apostles in euery place haue ordeined, and al the Ancient Fathers and Catholique Bishoppes haue folowed the same. And who so doothe contrarie to this, he (as Gelasius saithe)1 committeth Sacrilege. And therefore wee saie, that our Aduersaries at this daie, who hauinge violently thruste out, and quite forebidden the Holy Communion, doo without the woorde of God, without the Authoritie of any Ancient Councel, without any Catholique Father, without any Exāple of the Primitiue Churche, yea and without reason also, defende, and maineteine their Priuate Masses, and the manglinge of the Sacramentes, and doo this not onely against the plaine expresse Commaundemente of Christe, but also againste al Antiquitie, doo wickedly therein, & are very Churcherobbers.
