Fifthly, the Mass doth utterly evert and take away the Lords Supper: for it cannot stand with it. For in the Supper the Lords purpose is to give a blessing aunto us: but in the Mass men purpose to offer up satisfaction unto God. Again, in the Supper the Lord testifieth unto us, that we are & must be daily bquickened, by the only sacrifice of Christ: but in the Mass they feign, that Christs sacrifice cannot profit us, if it be not iterated every day. Thirdly, the Supper is celebrated by the cwhole congregation, but the Mass is celebrated by the Priest only.
