The Answer to this Proposition.
I answer to this third Proposition as I did to the first. And moreover I say, that being taken in such sense as the words seem to import, it is not only erroneous, but withal so much to the derogation and defacing of the Death and Passion of Christ, that I judge it may and ought most worthily to be counted wicked and blasphemous against the most precious Blood of our Saviour Christ.
The Explication.
Concerning the Romish Mass which is used at this day, or the lively Sacrifice thereof propitiatory and available for the sins of the quick and the dead, the Holy Scripture hath not so much as one syllable.
There is ambiguity also in the name of Mass: what it signifieth, and whether at this day there be any such indeed as the Ancient Fathers used; seeing that now there be neither Catecumeni nor Penitents to be sent away.
