d This manner of speech declareth, that not ⟨p. 184⟩only the Priest which sayeth the Mass offereth the Sacrifice which there is made, but also as many as are there with him. Wherefore then attributeth he the workmanship to them that are with him as well as to him self? And therefore seeing it is so, they which are at mass with him do as much blaspheme the benefit of the death & passion, & of the Sacrificing of Jesus committed in the same, as they which say it. Now a man may easily judge, by that which followeth, whether there be any blasphemy in it yea or no. For, it is namely said, that this Sacrifice is offered, for the salvation and redemption of the souls of all those, which are present at it, and also of all theirs: which can no ways agree, but with the only Sacrifice which Jesus made upon the cross. Wherefore I greatly marvel that the earth openeth not, and swalloweth up these blasphemers, so often as this horrible blasphemy proceedeth out of their mouths. We have showed in what sense this manner of speaking was in use, to wit, For whom we offer thee, or, they which offer thee, when we spake of the custom that was sometimes in the Church, in those days when the Supper was communicated, to all, and that they which there communicated, offered the bread that was there distributed, for the making of the Supper: but not to make such a Sacrifice of it, as is here described.
d This maner of speeche declareth, that not ⟨p. 184⟩onely the Priest which sayeth the Masse offereth the Sacrifice which there is made, but also as many as are there with him. Wherefore then attributeth he the workmāship to thē that are with him as well as to him selfe? And therefore seing it is so, they which are at masse with him do asmuch blaspheme the benefit of the death & passion, & of the Sacrificing of Iesus cōmitted in the same, as they which say it. Nowe a man may easilie iudge, by that which followeth, whether there be any blasphemie in it yea or no. For, it is namelye sayed, that this Sacrifice is offered, for the saluation and redemption of the soules of all those, which are present at it, and also of all theires: which can no wayes agree, but with the onelie Sacrifice which Iesus made vpon the crosse. Wherefore I greatlie maruell that the earth openeth not, and swalloweth vp these blasphemoures, so often as this horrible blasphemie proceedeth out of their mouths. VVe haue shewed in what sense this maner of speaking was in vse, to wit, For whome we offer thee, or, they which offer thee, when wee spake of the custome that was sometimes in the Church, in those dayes when the Supper was cō municated, to all, and that they which there communicated, offred the bread that was there distributed, for the making of the Supper: but not to make such a Sacrifice of it, as is here described.
