b Howe is it possible that this young master, can any way once think of the passion and death of Jesus Christ, when as he is troubled about so many devises, & making of so many faces & countenances ⟨p. 224⟩as he must make all the time of this mask, wherein he intendeth to represent the same?

Here, they speak even as grossly and slanderously, as the Alphabet and mass book of the Priests imprinted after the use of Geneva doth, whereof we have so often spoken. And besides, he addeth that after this breaking, all must communicate, during the time that the Antiphone, called the communion, be sung, whereof, we will incontinent
