Julius saith, They dipped the Sacrament into the Cup, and delivered it unto the people: You dip the Sacrament, as they did: but unto the people ye give nothing. Julius saith, They meant by dipping to make it a full, and a perfect Communion: Contrariwise, you defraud the people of the Holy Cup, and deliver them only the Half Communion, And therefore ye are much more blame worthy, then ever were they, whom Julius reproved. For they offended only of Simplicity: and you of wilfulness.

Iulius saithe, They dipped the Sacramente into the Cuppe, and deliuered it vnto the people: You dippe the Sacramente, as they did: but vnto the people ye géeue nothinge. Iulius saithe, They meante by dippinge to make it a ful, and a perfite Communion: Contrariewise, you defraude the people of the Holy Cuppe, and deliuer them onely the Halfe Communion, And therefore ye are mutche more blame woorthy, then euer were they, whom Iulius reproued. For they offended onely of Simplicitie: and you of wilfulnesse.

But touching the matter it self, the fault, that we find with you, and the fault, that Julius found with others your Predecessors, is all one. You dip the Bread into the Cup: & so did they. They brake Christs Institution: and so do you. And therefore Julius said unto them, Hoc quàm sit Apostolicae, & Evangelicae Doctrinae contrarium, & consuetudini Ecclesiasticae aduersum, non difficilè ab ipso Fonte Veritatis probatur, à quo ordinata ipsa Sacramentorum Mysteria processerunt: Howe far contrary this is to the Apostolical, and Evangelical Doctrine, and to the Custom of the Church, it is easy to prove by the Fountain of the Truth, by whom the Mysteries of the Sacraments were ordained, and from whom they first proceeded.

But touchinge the matter it selfe, the faulte, that wée finde with you, and the faulte, that Iulius founde with others your Predecessours, is al one. You dippe the Breade into the Cuppe: & so did they. They brake Christes Institution: and so doo you. And therefore Iulius saide vnto them, Hoc quàm sit Apostolicae, & Euangelicae Doctrinae cōtrarium, & consuetudini Ecclesiasticae aduersum, non difficilè ab ipso Fonte Veritatis probatur, à quo ordinata ipsa Sacramentorum Mysteria processerunt: Howe far contrarie this is to the Apostolical, and Euangelical Doctrine, and to the Custome of the Churche, it is easy to proue by the Fountaine of the Truthe, by whom the Mysteries of the Sacramentes were ordeined, and from whom they firste proceeded.
