Although he pretend enmity against private Mass in word, yet in deed who so ever readeth his sermon, and discerneth his sprite, shall easily perceive, that he extendeth his whole wit and cunning utterly to abolish the unbloody and daily Sacrifice of the Church, 41 commonly called the Mass.2 Which as the Apostles them selves affirm in Clement their scholar and fellow, being unbloody, hath succeeded in place of the bloody Sacrifices of the old law, and is by Christs commandment frequented, and offered in remembrance of his passion and death, and to be used all times, until his coming. But what so ever he, or all other the forerunners of Antichrist, speak, or work against it, all that ought not to overthrow the faith of good and true Christian men, having for proof thereof beside many other places of holy scripture, the figure of Melchizedek, that was before the law, the prophecy of Malachi, in the law, and lastly, and most plainly, the 5 institution ⟨p. 5⟩of Christ in the new testament.3 Which he left to the Apostles, the Apostles to the Church, and the Church hath continually kept and used through the whole world until this day.
