Paul is a true Prophet, and foretold long before, that which we may now behold with our eyes. In the latter times, some shall 1give heed unto spirits of error. They shall be as men without sense or feeling, they shall forsake the truth, and betake themselves to follow lies and fables. Even they shall do this, which shall sit in the Church of God, who shall profess and carry the name of Christ. Christ ministered his last supper in 2both kinds. Saint Paul telleth the Corinthians, As often as ye shall eat this bread and drink 3this cup ye shall show the Lords death till he come. That this institution of Christ should be kept in the Church until the end of the world. The Apostles received this order: the holy fathers and martyrs used it. But now many, even too too many, will not so have it, nor so use it. They will not follow the example of the Fathers nor of Martyrs, nor of the Apostles, nor keep the ordinance of Christ: so strong a delusion hath bewitched them.

They shall be as men without sense or féeling, they shall forsake the truth, and betake themselues to followe lies and fables. Euen they shall doe this, which shall sitte in the Church of God, who shall professe and carrie the name of Christ. Christ ministred his last supper in 2both kindes. Saint Paul telleth the Corinthians, As often as yee shall eate this bread and drinke 3this cup yee shall shew the Lords death till hee come. That this institution of Christ should be kept in the Church vntil the ende of the worlde. The Apostles receiued this order: the holie fathers and martires vsed it. But nowe manie, euen too too manie, wil not so haue it, nor so vse it. They will not followe the example of the Fathers nor of Martires, nor of the Apostles, nor kéepe the ordinance of Christ: so strong a delusion hath bewitched them.
