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.

Again, touching these words (The lively Sacrifice of the Church) There is doubt whether they are to be understood Figuratively and Sacramentally, for the Sacrament of the lively Sacrifice (after which sort we deny it not to be in the Lord's Supper) or properly and without any figure; of the which manner there was but one only Sacrifice, and that once offered, namely upon the Altar of the Cross.
