An other denying of Christ is this masmonging: for all those that be massemongers be deniers of Christ, which believe1 or trust in the sacrifice of the mass, and seek remission of their sins therein: for this opinion hath done very much harm, and brought innumerable souls to the pit of hell: for they believed the mass to be a sacrifice for the dead and living: and this opinion hath gotten all these abbeys and chantries, almost the half part of all England: and they2 should have gotten more if they had not been restrained by certain laws.
