But I have tarried longer in setting fourth the form of Christs words upon the Lords cup written by Paul and Luke then I intended to do. And yet in speaking of the form of Christs words spoken upon his cup / it cometh now unto my remembrance the form of words used in the latin Mass upon the Lords cup: Whereof I do not a little marvel what should be the cause / seeing the latin Mass agreeth with the Evangelists and Paul in the form of words said upon the bread / 1why in the words said upon the Lords cup / it differeth from them all: yea and addeth unto the words of Christ spoken upon the cup / these words / Misterium fidei / that is / the Mystery of faith / which are not read to be attributed unto the sacrament of Christs blood / neither in the evangelists nor in Paul / nor so far as I do know in any other place of holy scripture / yea and if it may have some good exposition / yet why it should not be aswell added unto the words of Christ▪ upon his bread as upon his cup / surely I do not see the mystery.
But I haue taried longer in settinge fourth the forme of Christes woordes vpon the Lordes cuppe written by Paule and Luke then I intended to do. And yet in speaking of the forme of Christs wordes spoken vpon his cuppe / it commeth now vnto my remembraunce the forme of wordes vsed in the lattin Masse vpon the Lordes cuppe: Wherof I doe not a litle maruaile what should be the cause / seing the latten Masse agreeth with the Euangelistes and Paule in the forme of woordes saied vpon the breade / 1why in the wordes saiede vpon the Lordes cup / it differeth from them all: yea and addeth vnto the wordes of Christe spoken vpon the cuppe / these woordes / Misterium fidei / that is / the Misterie of faith / which are not redde to be attributed vnto the sacrament of Christes bloud / neither in theuangelistes nor in Paule / nor so farre as I do knowe in anie other place of holie scripture / yea and if it maie haue some good exposition / yet why it shoulde not be aswell added vnto the wordes of Christe▪ vpon his breade as vpon his cuppe / suerlie I doe not see the misterie.
