And as for those sacramental words of the order of Priesthood, to have authority to sacrifice both for the quick and the dead, I ween Peter and Paul (if they were both a live) were not able to prove, that ever Christ gave them such authority, or ever said any such words unto them. But I will let Luke go, and because Paul speaketh more for him self: I will rehearse his words: That (saith Paul) which I received of the Lord, I gave unto you. For the Lord Jesus, &c. And so he setteth forth the whole institution and right use of the Lords Supper. Now seeing that S. Paul here saith, that which he received of the Lord, he had given them, and that which he hath received and given them before by word of mouth: now he rehearseth and writeth the same in his Epistle, is it credibly that Paul would never use this form of words, upon ⟨p. 13⟩the Lords cop, which (as he saith) he received of the Lord, that he had given them before, and now rehearseth in his Epistle? I trust no man is far from all reason, but he will grant me, that this is not likely so to be.
And as for those sacramentall woords of the order of Préesthood, to haue authoritie to sacrifice both for the quicke and the deade, I wéene Peter and Paule (if they were both a liue) were not able to prooue, that euer Christe gaue them such authoritie, or euer said any such woordes vnto them. But I will let Luke goe, and because Paule speaketh more for him selfe: I will rehearse his woords: That (saith Paule) whiche I receiued of the Lord, I gaue vnto you. For the Lorde Jesus, &c. And so he setteth foorth the whole institution and right vse of the Lordes Supper. Now séeing that S. Paule heer saith, that whiche he receiued of the Lord, he had giuen them, and that whiche he hath receiued and giuen them before by woord of mouth: now he rehearseth and writeth the same in his Epistle, is it crediblye that Paule woulde neuer vse this forme of woords, vpon ⟨p. 13⟩the Lords cop, which (as he saith) he receaued of the Lord, that he had giuen them before, and now rehearseth in his Epistle? I trust no man is far from al reason, but he wil graunt me, that this is not likely so to be.
