We have then yet hitherto the consecration of the Lord, and we have nothing to do with these Massemumblers, because we celebrate the supper of the Lord, and a most strange Supper. For even now we receive the whole from the very hands of Christ, by the ministry of a lawful and Ecclesiastical Minister. To be brief, we do justly esteem this consecrating and blessing of our high Priest Jesus Christ the son of God, more precious ⟨image 19⟩than the consecration of all Bishops, which hath no testimony nor confirmation by the word of God, and for this cause we greatly abhor it.
