Seeing then that the institution of the holy Supper of the Lord, and the end for the which it was ordained, is wholly overthrown in the Mass & supper of the Papists, it is plain, that neither the one nor the other, not only can not be accounted for the Supper of the Lord, nor celebrated to such an end: But over and above that, who soever will be accounted a christian, and a partaker of the true table of the Lord, may in no wise communicate nor assist, neither at the Mass, nor Supper of the Papists, if he will not communicate at the Lords table,¹ and at the devils table altogether. For first, where Saint Paul sayeth plainly, that we must show the Lords death, in his Supper, and that nothing be declared nor said in the Church, but in such a tongue as all men may understand. All is said in the Mass and supper of the Papist, in a tongue which the poor people ⟨p. 43⟩understand not: And they do not declare unto them the Institution of the holy Supper of the Lord. The which thing is even of as great effect, as if there were no word of God at all, seeing it is not understood: Without which word, the Supper can not be the Supper. Moreover, the signs are there so confounded with the things which they signify, that they be all one thing: wherefore that is as much as to have sacraments without signs. Thirdly, the bread & wine are there worshipped as Idols, and as Gods newly made, wherein there is not one idol only, but two, as if the blood were separate from the body. Fourthly, they be there also offered in stead of Jesus Christ, in such sort as the mass is holden for a Sacrifice made for the redemption of souls: It is holden also for a meritorious work, which bringeth Salvation unto men, as doth the Death and Passion of Christ.
