a Here is now the second, and solemnest, hand washing in the Mass, but yet not the most delicate. And therefore John sweet lips, licketh not his fingers. He is contented to wash and make clean his hands, as Pilate did, when he was willing to condemn Jesus Christ. For, seeing he will needs sacrifice it, and that there can be no sacrifice without shedding of blood, and death, when any live thing is sacrificed, how far is he behind Pilate (I pray you) who condemned Jesus Christ to be hanged on the cross? He may then very well brag, that he washeth his polluted hands amongest innocents, or in innocency, as it is in the Psalm, which this blasphemer abuseth here so villainously. But is there either rime or reason here in this? I will speak no more of the blasphemies which are in these prayers, either because they are altogether contrary to the true calling on the name of God, and the merit of Jesus Christ, or else because they are ill favouredly applied, and the holy word of God, by them, profaned and dishonoured.
