Did I ever teach you, to say Mass, or to receive the Sacrament for the people? Did I ever teach you, the idle follies of your cannon? Did I ever teach you, to offer up the son of God unto his Father? Did I ever teach you, an• other propitiatory sacrifice for sin, then that Christ once offered upon the cross? Did I ever teach you, to minister the Lords supper, wherein the people should nothing else but look upon, and behold your doings, without any kind of knowledge or comfort? Did I ever teach you, to lift the sacrament over your head? Did I ⟨p. 173⟩ever teach the people, to fall down thereunto, and to worship they know not what?

Be these the things, that I delivered you? Be these y• things, that I received of the Lord? This would Saint Paul say unto us, if he were now alive. Thus would he reprove us, and call us to the standard, and original of the first appointing of the holy Sacrament.
