a We may judge by this piece which is here thrust in, taken out of the first Epistle to the Corinthians, with what judgement the places were collected out of the holy Scriptures, which being taken from them, were applied to the Mass. For, for the first, to what purpose is this here put in? Brethren. For, That which I received of the Lord. &c. Whereunto is this, For, referred? wherefore rendereth he a reason: considering that there is nothing going before, that can be referred to any thing which may any way serve the turn, for the matter that S. Paul here treateth of? This piece therefore must otherwise be divided and sclantled, to make it serve for this purpose. Thus we see how they are wonted ordinarily to deal with the Scriptures.

b S. Paul, by these words declareth, that he was nothing so rash, as these men, who have added so many things to the Supper, as that they have turned it into a pestilent Idolatrous Mass, & have by those additions, so blemished it, as that there remaineth not any face or form of the true Supper of the Lord, whereby, he also showeth that he was never any of their company. For, he sayeth plainly that he delivered unto the Corinthians, such a pure & sound institution of the same, as he received from the Lord Jesus, without adding thereto, or diminishing therefrom: wherein, he eftsoons giveth to understand, that it is not lawful for any man to do it, of what authority so ever he be.1
