g We are to seek for other manner of Priests, and Gods servants, then these are, for the executing of that, that is there spoken of in this psalm.

i Here is huddled up pell mell, both canticles, psalms and prayers, in Greek and eke in Latin, one in another's neck, from a post to a pudding prick. As touching this Canticle, which the Grecians made in the behalf of the Hebrews, Daniels companions, who were put into Nebuchadnezzar his hot burning furnace, they have great reason both to allege & singe it, to make an end of such a blasphemy as the mass is, & that by such infamous, and detestable people, as these are, who execute the office, not of these faithful servants of God, which were put into the furnace, because they had rather be burnt quick, then they would worship any idols, against the express commandment and law of God: but of Nebuchadnezzar ⟨p. 156⟩causing such to be burnt to death, who as these holy people were, will not worship their idols, but chose rather to be burnt, than so villainously deny Jesus Christ, as he is daily denied in the Mass, & by mens traditions, which are observed under the reign of Antichrist, in stead of the commandments and ordinances of God. And here we will make an end of the Mass, which we have a great long time song, having touched no matters therein, but only the most gross and doltish. Which thing we have done, to the end that all men might the better understand, how far it differeth from the holy Supper of Jesus Christ, & what a mass & huge heap, of all abominable idolatry it is, and the very reign and government of Antichrist, and his whole prop and foundation, whom I beseech the Lord eftsoons overthrow and destroy with the breath of his mouth. So be it.
