They be false Catholics (saith this man) that are not ashamed by all means to hinder the Reformation of the Church. They, to the intent the other kind of the Sacrament may not be restored unto the Lay people, spare no kind of blasphemies. For they say, that Christ said only unto his Apostles, Drink ye all of this. But the words of the Canon (of the Mass) be these, Take and eat ye all of this. Here I beseech them, let them tell me, whether they will have these words also, only to pertain unto the Apostles. Then must the lay people abstain from the other kind of the Bread also. Which thing to say, is an Heresy, and a pestilent, and a detestable blasphemy. Wherefore it followeth, that each of these words was spoken unto the whole Church. Thus far Lorichius, an earnest defender of Transubstantiation, of the Popes Supremacy, and of Private Mass: lest M. Harding should say, he were one of Luther's Scholars, and so except against him, as being a party. And Leo sometime Bishop of Rome, hearing of certain that used to dip the Bread in the Wine, and so to deliver it to the people, had no way to reform them, but only by Christs Institution. For thus he saithe.1 Quod pro complemento Communionis▪ intinctam tradunt Eucharistiam populis, nec hoc prolatum ex Evangelio testimonium receperunt. Whereas for accomplishment of the Communion, they dip the Sacrament, and deliver it unto the people, they have not received this witness of the Gospel. He addeth further: Seorsum enim Panis, & seorsum Calicis, commendatio memoratur. For the delivery of the Bread, and the delivery of the Cup, are mentioned asunder. And thus he speaketh of the ministration of the Sacrament, that is due not only to the priests, but also to the people.
They be false Catholikes (saithe this man) that are not ashamed by al meanes to hinder the Reformation of the Churche. They, to thintent the other kinde of the Sacrament may not be restored vnto the Laye people, spare no kinde of blasphemies. For they saye, that Christe saide onely vnto his Apostles, Drinke ye al of this. But the woordes of the Canon (of the Masse) be these, Take and eate ye al of this. Here I beseche them, let them tel me, whether they wil haue these woordes also, onely to perteine vnto the Apostles. Then must the laye people absteyne from the other kinde of the Bread also. Whiche thinge to saye, is an Heresie, and a pestilent, and a detestable blasphemie. Wherefore it foloweth, that eche of these woordes was spoken vnto the whole Churche. Thus farre Lorichius, an earnest defender of Transubstantiation, of the Popes Supremacie, and of Priuate Masse: lest M. Hardinge shoulde saye, he were one of Luthers Scholars, and so excepte against him, as beynge a partie. And Leo sometime Bishop of Rome, hearinge of certaine that vsed to dippe the Breade in the Wine, and so to deliuer it to the people, had no waie to reforme them, but onely by Christes Institution. For thus he saithe.
