Eusebius. That same is done for the honesty and reverence of the Sacrament and for his solemnity, and moreover to beautify it. And therefore thou deceivest thy self, in that thou thinkest, that there is contradiction amongst us. For we do not understand or mean that saint James, or Saint Peter, or any other to have instituted the Mass, then Jesus Christ him self, the which afterwards his disciples did begin to ordain and beautify it, as we have at this present, and consequently the other until this present hour.

Eusebius. That same is done for the honestie and reuerence of the Sacrament and for his solempnitie, and moreouer to bewrifie it. And therefore thou deceauest thy selfe, in that thou thinkest, that there is contradiction amongst vs. For we do not vnderstande or meane that saint Iames, or Saint Peter, or any other to haue instituted the Masse, then Iesus Christe him selfe, the whiche afterwardes his disciples did beginne to ordeine and bewtyfie it, as wee haue at this present, and consequently the other vntil this present hore.

Theophilus. Saint Paul was the chiefest of the Apostles, and yet he came after Saint Peter & Saint James, but he did not teach or learn the Corinthians such apish tricks, when hoe declared unto them how they ought to celebrate the Lords supper, but doth protest, that he will add nothing unto it nor diminish any thing, but that he will give it them, in the same form as he received it of his Master Jesus Christ. I do not believe that Saint James nor Saint Peter have done otherwise, nor all their companions. And you can no better confound your self, they in excusing your self, as you do. For at the least wife, by that you do confess, you do witness, that you have not the Mass, such as ye have, neither of Jesus Christ nor of his Apostles, nor of the primitive Church, but that it is of so many divers pieces, that one can not know the colour of the first cloth.

Theophilus. Sainct Paul was the chiefest of the Apostles, and yet he came after Sainct Peter & Sainct Iames, but he did not teache or learne the Corinthians suche apish trickes, when hoe declared vnto them how they ought to celebrate the Lordes supper, but doth protest, that hee will adde nothinge vnto it nor diminishe anye thinge, but that hee will giue it them, in the same fourme as hée receyued it of his Master Iesus Christe. I doe not boeléeue that Sainct Iames nor Sainct Peter haue done otherwise, nor all their compaigmons. And you canne no better confounde your selfe, they in excusinge your selfe, as you doe. For at the leaste wife, by that you doe confesse, you doe witnesse, that you haue not the Masse, suche as yee haue, neither of Iesus Christe nor of his Apostles, nor of the primitiue Churche, but that it is of so many diuers poeces, that one can not know the colour of the first cloth.
