a He is here commanded to spread abroad his arms, representing thereby Jesus Christ hanging upon the cross. And therefore forsooth my good Pontificial M. Jenkin underwood, must here counterfeit the Crucifix. Now in very deed, both the place & the text fitteth his purpose jump. For, this is the place where this my M. the Sacrificer maketh his Sacrifice, & wherein, he himself saith he sacrificeth & offereth Jesus Christ, to God. And because that Jesus Christ was Sacrificed upon the cross, therefore this our venerable Sir, counterfeiteth the cross, with spreading out of his arms, whereon he is with great ease crucified.

And because that Iesus Christ was Sacrificed vppon the crosse, therfore this our venerable Sir, counterfaiteth the crosse, with spreading out of his armes, whereon he is with great ease crucified.
