For else if they were, as they would be taken of the order of the Apostles then should they be ministers and not massers, Preachers & not traitors, as they be both to god and his church. ⟨image 11⟩God amend them.

Christs sacrifice once made by him self on the tree,1 on the mount of Calvary is the full and perfect propitiatory sacrifice to the sanctification of all them that are and shall be saved never more to be reiterated & done again, for that signifieth an Imperfection. But the mass is called and had for a sacrifice propitiatory, and that such a one as fetcheth pardon. A pena et a culpa, for the quick and dead, and for whom sir John will. In words or syllables the papists will deny this, but in very deed they do other wise. And in the latter end of their Canon plainly they call it a propitiatory sacrifice. So that the mass we see is altogether against christ a live, that is against his priest hood & against his death that is his sacrifice, & therefore a detestable evil I trow.

But ye masse is called and hade for a cacrifice propiciatorie, and that suche a one as fetcheth pardon. A pena et a culpa, for the quicke and deade, and for whom syr Ihon wyll. In wordes or syllables the papistes wyll denye this, but in verye dede they do other wyse. And in ye latter ende of theyr Canon playnelye they cal it a propiciatorie sacrifice. So that the masse we se is altogether agaynst christ a lyue, that is agaynste his preist hode & agaynst his death that is his sacrifce, & therfore a detestable euell I trowe.
