c Seeing then that Jesus Christ hath taught us how to deal in the Supper, where will this slibber Gibber find in the institution thereof, that he ordained the consecration of the bread and wine, to be made an host for salvation: that is to say, a sacrifice to obtain salvation thereby? For, an host, doth not signify such a round white cake as that which they call an host in the Mass, and as the simple so think of it: But signifieth that which is sacrificed, & the very sacrifice it self. And forasmuch as the priests, take the Mass to be such a sacrifice, as wherein they sacrifice Jesus Christ with their own hands: they call this white round cake the host, which they take to be Jesus Christ, because they mean to sacrifice him, & offer him up. Howbeit the supper was not ordained for this purpose, but contrary wise to admonish us that there was none other sacrifice, but that which Jesus Christ made upon the cross, which could not be by any means again sacrificed: but, that that, was the remembrance of this sacrifice. And taking this name of the host in this sense, the wine which they also offer for the blood of Jesus Christ, should be an host likewise, aswell as the bread, although ⟨p. 132⟩it be not so called. Again, neither should the little round Robins which are delivered to the people in the administration of the Supper, nor yet the great ones that are kept in the pyx, or shrine (as the holy host of Dijon, and such like) be any hosts, because that they are not offered up, nor sacrificed as that is, which is in the Mass. And therefore even by their own doctrine and practise, they do misterm them.
c Seeing then that Iesus Christ hath taught vs how to deale in the Supper, where will this slibber Gibber find in the institutiō therof, that he ordeined the consecration of the bread and wine, to be made an hoste for saluation: that is to say, a sacrifice to obtaine saluation therby? For, an host, doth not fignify such a round white cake as that which they call an hoste in the Masse, and as the simple so thinke of it: But signifieth that which is sacrificed, & the very sacrifice it selfe. And for asmuch as the priests, take the Masse to be such a sacrifice, as wherein they sacrifice Iesus Christ with their owne handes: they call this white round cake the hoste, which they take to be Iesus Christ, because they meane to sacrifice him, & offer him vp. Howbeit the supper was not ordeined for this purpose, but contrary wise to admonish vs that there was none other sacrifice, but that which Iesus Christ made vpon the crosse, which could not be by any meanes againe sacrificed: but, that that, was the remembrance of this sacrifice. And taking this name of the hoste in this sence, the wine which they also offer for the blood of Iesus Christ, should be an hoste likewise, aswell as the bread, although
