An exhortation to the carrying of Christs cross with a true and brief confutation…An exhortacion to the carienge of Chrystes crosse wyth a true and brefe confutacion…

If they say: bread and wine, as indeed they do in their mass horribly, then in that they say they offer the same thing, which Christ offered on the cross, and he offered his body: bred must needs be Christs body, and so Christs body is bred and wine. If they say that they offer up christ, in that the offerer must needs be ⟨p. 116⟩as good at the lest, yea better than the thing offered (for God is no strumpet, to like the offer token, and gift better, then the offerer and giver) then must they needs show themselves open Antichrists. For they make themselves equal with Christ, yea better then he: which thing indeed their holy father and grandsire, the pope, doth.

If they say: bread and wyne, as indede thei doe in their masse horriblye, then in that they saye they offre the same thing, whiche Chryste offred on the crosse, and he offred his bodye: bred muste nedes be Chrystes body, and so Christes body is bred and wine. If thei say yt thei offer vp christ, in that the offerer must neds be ⟨p. 116⟩as good at the lest, yea better thē the thing offred (for God is no strompet, to like the offer token, and gifte better, then the offerer and geuer) then must they nedes shew thēselues opē Antichrists. For they make themselues equal wyth Chryst, yea better then he: whych thyng indede their holy father and graundsire, the pope, doth.

For where Christ would take upon him to teach nothing, but that he had received of his father: And therefore willed men to search the scriptures, as all his Apostles did, whether their doctrine was not according thereunto: the pope, and his prelates, will be bold to teach what please them more, then God biddeth, yea clean contrary to y•, which god biddeth. As it is plain by ⟨p. 117⟩all these. 4. points, transubstantiation, sacrifice, praying for the dead and to the dead. But see, I pray you, their abominations. The sacrifice of Christ, for the redemption of the world, was not simply his body & his blood: but his body broken, and his blood shed. That is, all his passion and suffering in his body and flesh.
