Christ at his last Supper ordained a Communion,1 for the comfort of all our Souls; but they turned this into a private Mass, that one man should receive alone. This was contrary to Christ, contrary to that he ordained. And how then should we esteem them, as the Ministers of Christ, & Stewards of the secrets of God? Christ ministered this Communion to his Disciples in both the kinds; yet they notwithstanding ministered it under one kind alone, they robbed the people, and took the cup from them. And this was contrary to Christ, ⟨image 16⟩& his institution. And how then should we esteem them as the ministers of Christ, & stewards of the secrets of God? God gave us in commandment to make no graven Image: they taught that we should make ourselves graven Images, that we should kneel, that we should bow, that we should creep unto them, and that we should offer & stick up candles before them.
