Secondly, they have turned the Communion into a private Mass, where the Priest alone receiveth all, and the people nothing▪ Thirdly, although in a Sacrament the•e must be a distinction between the sign and the thing signified, yet they make none, but overthrow all such signification of the signs by their transubstantiation. Fourthly, they have turned the body of Christ into a breaden God, which they carry about in boxes and worship; which is as vile an idolatry as ever was among the Heathen, not inferior to the worshipping of Cats and Bulls as gods among the Egyptians. Fifthly, they have added to Christs Institution five Sacraments, viz. Penance, Confirmation, Orders, Matrimony, and anointing. But indeed Baptism is a Sacrament of Penance: the Lords Supper of Confirmation: and further are they deceived in the other.
