He uncovereth the Chalice, and taketh the Lords body, and with it, thrice crosseth the Chalice from one side to another saying. Through the same, &c. And lifting up his fingers with the body of the Lord, maketh the sign of the cross twice between him & the Chalice, beginning at the side of the Chalice, saying. To thee it is, God the Father, &c. When he hath so done, he holdeth the body of the Lord over the Chalice, and after he hath a little lifted up the Chalice with both his hands he saith. For ever and ever. So be it.
He vncouereth the Chalice, and taketh the Lordes bodie, and with it, thrise crosseth the Chalice from one side to another saying. Through the same, &c.

a There is never a place in all this mask, wherein Sir Gurdegobreasse more mumpeth and moppeth, and maketh more pitiful faces, then he doth in this, without it be when he goeth about to eat his God. This poor Sir John had here great need to be comforted: for he is left here post alone, and hath many things to do. For, after he hath, all alone, played the parts of Judas, the Jews, Pilate, and the hangman,1 and crucified and Sacrificed Jesus Christ: he must here yet once more play the part of the Jews, who knocked upon their breasts, after that Jesus was dead, & of the thief that hung by him. Our young Masters say, that this ⟨p. 213⟩was an honest thief, but they may peradventure be deceived. And besides this he must also play the Centurions part, who said, Truly this was the very Son of God. And therefore, he knocked upon his breast, lifted up his voice, and confessed him self to be as great a sinner as any of the rest.
