h He sayeth not, Do ye this as a sacrifice, for the redemption of the souls, both of the quick and dead: but that we should do that which he did, & caused to be done in the Supper, & not that which he did on the cross, whereon he offered a sacrifice for the redemption of our souls, which is sufficient for us, & can be done by none other, nor in any other place, neither yet by any other mean, whereof, the Supper is a remembrance, & no sacrifice, but much less a Mass: for it is neither the one, nor yet the other, because they would make it that which it cannot be. For, it cannot be this sacrifice, if it be not Jesus Christ him self, who offered him self, in that sort that he was offered: And if that be it, then without doubt, Jesus the son of God ceaseth to be.

i If the Romanists would strictly, & according to the letter, press the words of our Saviour Jesus Christ, which he spake concerning the body and blood of the Supper, we may also conclude by the same reasons, that the cup is likewise the new Testament, confirmed by the blood of Jesus Christ, and not the blood it self, according to the testimonies of Saint Paul and Saint Luke,1 who both use the very self same words therein.
