7. The Mass is repugnant unto the Articles of our faith concerning the true humanity of Christ, concerning his true ascension into heaven, and his returning from thence at the day of judgement. For, it fasteneth on Christ a body made of bread: it feigneth that Christ lieth hid corporally under the forms of bread and wine.

8. The Mass is contrary to the communion of Saints with Christ. For, it imagineth an execrable invention, which is, that Christs body doth descend into our bodies, and remaineth as long within our bodies, as the forms remain of bread and wine. But the Supper teacheth that we are made members of Christ by the holy Ghost, and engrafted into him.

But the Supper teacheth that we are made members of Christ by the holy Ghost, and ingraffed into him.
9. The Mass is repugnant to the true worship of God, because it maketh Christ to be there corporally present, and so by consequent there to be worshipped. Even as of old before his ascension it was not only lawful, but in duty required, that Christ should be worshipped in whatsoever place he was, and so also did his Disciples always worship him, when he was present, as also when he ascended from them: but after his ascension, they did not from that time adore and worship him, turning unto any one particular place more then other. Wherefore, seeing the Papists in their Mass tie the worship and adoration of Christ to a thing, whereunto Christ himself by express word hath not tied it; They profess themselves to be idolaters, and do no less absurdly and impiously in this, then if they should worship Christ at a wall, or if they should worship a pillar, falling down before it.
