Here may all men see, how ancient a thing this Pope holy sacring is, which notwithstanding the blind and silly sheepish simple souls think to be the best part of the Mass.1 Verily it is a little more than three hundred and forty years old. A devilish & an Idolatrous invention is it, not altogether unlike to the setting up of the golden calf in the wilderness.

Pope Gregory the ninth ordained, that the sacring bell should be rung,1 when the priest lifteth up the Missal bread & Chalice above his head, to move the people to behold that new found God which is not (as the true God ought) to be worshipped in spirit and truth, but in knocking, knelling, and lifting up of hands. In the year, &c. 1225. Anselmus. Rid.
