I will not here commemorate, who1 were the first that published both parts of the Supper of our Lord, who first omitted the private Masses, & where first the Monasteries were abandoned. For Luther hath disputed very little of these before that assembly which was made in the Town of Vangions, in the year 1521, he changed2 not the ceremonies, but in his absence Carolostadius and other altered them. Then Luther returning (after that Carolostadius had devised & done certain things, rather to breed mutiny then otherwise) manifested by evident testimonies, published abroad touching his opinion, what he approved and what he misliked.
