But he will say,1 and Malachi, signified the Sacrifice of the new testament. We deny it not. But did they signify a Sacrifice done by one man alone, in a strange language, the people looking on him, and no man knowing what he meaneth? Why may we not think rather, they signified the Sacrifice of the holy Communion, whereas the whole people doth lift up their hands and hearts unto heaven, and pray and sacrifice together, rejoicing in the cross of Christ, and so celebrating the lords death until he come? for the Sacrifice that is prophesied by Malachi, as it is expounded by Tertullian, S. Hierome, and other holy Fathers, is the Sacrifice of prayer, & contrite heart, as hereafter in the seventeenth article it shall further appear.

Touching the witnesses here alleged, first I marvel that M. Harding would ever bring them forth, but much more that he would thus set them out, with such circumstances of commendation, as that they saw Christ in the flesh, or that they were the Apostles fellows. For he knoweth well, that many of them are little worthy of such credit, as partly being ever doubted of, and suspected to be written, not by them, whose names they bear, but by Heretics, to whom M. Harding seemeth now to fly for aid: partly also obscure, unknown, unacquainted, not read, not seen, not hard of in the world before this time.
