Hart. S. Jerome doth expound the former place of them also. But all is one to my purpose. For seeing that Pastors and Elders (as you term them) are called Priests in scripture, and the name of Priest implieth (you confess) authority to sacrifice: it followeth that Pastors and Elders are Priests authorized to sacrifice. Now the Priest that hath authority to sacrifice, is he, whom you do call a Mass-priest. Wherefore both Mass and Priests are proved by the scripture.
Hart. S. Ierom doth expound the former place of them also. But all is one to my purpose.

Now the Priest that hath autoritie to sacrifice, is he, whom you do call a Masse-priest. Wherefore both Masse and Priests are proued by the scripture.
