even as then the Commemorations of the Martyrs w•ich were done about their Sepulchres, to the glory of God & consolation of the living, have b•ne converted & changed to y• invocation of saints, & they have made Idols of them, so the commemoration which is done of other that be dead, hath been changed into meritorious prayers, for to draw them from pain, & successively sithence that one hath learned the custom to make a certain remembrance & mention in y• ecclesiastical assemblies they came afterward to y• point to make y• commemoration in y• supper 1for to witness y• they held them of whom in y• same they made remembrance for true faithful & catholic, & of y• communion of saints which in y• supper is repres•t•d. […] y• same manner ought we to understand y• which S. Augustin hath written of y• remembrance which they celebrated for y• dead, in the sacrifice of y• altar & of a mediator, by which we ought not to understand a sacrifice, in which Jesus christ our only mediator 2is offered to god his •ather, for y• redemption of our souls, as he was offered upon y• tr•e of y• cross, & after y manner as y priests do glory & boast themselves at this present time to offer in their Mass, according to y witness of their Canon.
