d This prayer is very necessary for all these Gentlemen sacrificers, Monks, Fryers, Prophets, and Ministers of Antichrist. For, the fear which they have of loosing their temporal benefits, maketh them altogether forget heaven, and all heavenly and eternal benefits. For why do they all, so stoutly oppose them selves unto the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and reformation of the Christian Church, for the maintenance of their sacrilegious Mass, the very sink of all blasphemies: mens traditions, full of all superstitions and Idolatries: and the popish sea also, the very sea of Antichrist, and of all abomination, save only for the temporal benefits which they receive thereby, and fearing to lose them? For take away from them their lusty prebends and fat benefices, which they have for the maintenance of these filthy and stinking abominations of theirs, and they will soon ⟨p. 251⟩after, care but a little for them.

e We have else where spoken of the ordinance, which biddeth the people to beware, how they presume to go from Mass, before such time as they have the priests blessing, and that the solemnity of the Mass be finished. This ordinance is contained within the Canons of the Agathensan council,
