S. Augustin like wise saith. Si non obliviscimur mundi saluatoris, quotidi• nobis Christus immolatur. Ex ipsis reliquis cogitationis, id est ex memoria, Christus nobis quotidiè immolatur. If we forget not the saviour of the world. Christ is every day sacrificed unto us. Even by the remanents of our cogitations: that is, by our remembrance of his death. Christ is made a sacrifice unto us every day. It is not therefore neither the faith, neither the doing of the priest, but our own doing, & our own faith, that applieth, unto us, the virtue and merits of Christs death, Sum other say, that s. Peter said mass at Rome, & Saint James at Jerusalem. And why ⟨p. 170⟩say they not rather, that Christ himself said mass? for that were the near way to bring the mass into credit. Or why, say they not sooner, that Aaron & his chaplains said mass▪ For in deed▪ as it hath ben used, y• church hath had much more of the robes, of the ceremonies, and of the sacrifices of Aaron, then of the institution or ordinance of Christ: But this have men told you, and with such things, as they have found out them self, they have […], and fathered the Apostles of Christ. So commonly, […] and sorcerers make their vaunts that they have all their books and their cunning from Athanasius, from Moses, from Abel, from Adam, from Raphael the Archangel.
