The sum of Christian religion, delivered by Zacharias Ursinus first, by way of catechism, and then afterwards more enlarged by a sound and judicious exposition, and application of the same : wherein also are debated and resolved the questions of whatsoever points of moment have been, or are controversed in divinity / first Englished by D.

Wheresoever then Christs humanity is, there the Divinity will be worshipped in it, and with it. And indeed, by this their own main argument,1 the Ubiquity of Christs manhood is quite overthrown: For, seeing the manhood is not to be worshipped in all creatures, and every-where; it followeth, that it is not present in all pears, apples, ropes, cheeses, &c. as the Ubiquitaries write thereof.

- 1The Ubiquity of Christs manhood confuted by the Ubiquitaries own argument.
These differences did D. Ursine, in the year of our Lord 1569. thus enlarge and deliver 1. The Supper testifieth, that Christs only sacrifice justifieth: The Mass-Priests say, that the Mass justifieth for the very work done, as they use to speak: that is, through the external rite and action. 2. The Supper teacheth us, that Christ redeemed us by offering himself for us: The Mass-Priests say, that we are redeemed by Christ offered by them. 3. The Supper telleth us, that our salvation is perfected by Christs own sacrifice: The Mass-mongers report, that it is perfected by infinite numbers of Masses. 4.

The Supper teacheth us, that Christ, having ended his sacrifice, ascended into heaven: Our Massemongers tell us, that he in his body is on the Aliar. 6. In the Supper bread and wine remain, and change not their substance; because Sacraments retain, and change not the substance of the sign: The Mass-Priests declare unto us, that the substance of bread and wine is quite abolished, and the accidents only remain. 7. The end of the Supper is, the confirmation of faith in Christ, and his one only sacrifice: The end of the Mass is, a confirmation of that opinion of works meritorious for their very working and performance, and a denial of Christs sacrifice. 8. The Supper teacheth us, that Christ is to be adored above in heaven: The Mass-mongers adore him under the forms of bread and wine. These differences prove, that the Popish Mass, in the foundation and ground thereof, is nothing else but a denial of CHRISTS only sacrifice, and an horrible Idolatry. They further point out unto us many
