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 If S.

Paul, who sayeth, follow me, as I follow Christ, or these Apostates and Antichrists, who do clean contrary to him: and besides, would burn all those that had rather follow Jesus and the holy Apostles, then them selves.

For, he saieth plainly that he deliuered vnto the Corinthiās, such a pure & sound institutiō of the same, as he receaued frō the Lord Iesus, without adding therto, or diminishing therfrō: wherin, he eftsoones giueth to vnderstād, that it is not lawfull for any mā to do it, of what authority so euer he be.1 If S.
