1And than he belieth me in two things, as he useth commonly throughout his whole book. The one is, that I deny the sacrifice of the Mass,2 which in my book have most plainly set out the sacrifice of christen people ⟨p. 397⟩in the holy communion or mass (if D. Smith will needs so term it) and yet I have denied that it is a sacrifice propitiatory for sin, or that the priest alone maketh any sacrifice there. For it is the sacrifice of all christen people to remember Christs death, to laud and thank him for it, and to publish it and show it abroad unto other, to his honour and glory.
