not to defer repentance wherewith they should come, lest they draw upon themselves hardness of heart, and eternal pains. 15. The Church ought to admit all those unto it, who profess themselves to embrace the ground and foundation of Christian doctrine, and to have a purpose to obey it: but those must be repelled who will not desist, either from their errors and blasphemies, or from manifest sins against their conscience, being admonished by the Church, and convicted of error. 16. The Pope hath corruptly taken away the breaking of the bread from the rite of the Supper, and bereaved the people of the use of the cup. Corruptly also hath he transformed the Supper of the Lord, with adding so many ceremonies not delivered by the Apostles into a theatrical or pageant-like Mass, that is, into a Jewish superstition, and stage-like rounds and conveyances. But more wicked and idolatrous inventions are these; That the Mass is a propitiatory sacrifice, wherein Christ is offered by the Mass-priests for the quick and the dead, and is by the force of consecration substantially present, and abideth so long as those forms of bread and wine remain uncorrupted: and further, doth bestow the grace of God, and other benefits upon them for whom he is offered: of whom also he is eaten with the mouth of their body, yea, though they have no good inward motion in them: and lastly, is, being treasured and laid up, and carried about under those forms, to be worshipped. In respect of these foul monsters, it is necessary that the Mass be quite and clean abolished out of the Christian Church. In sum, they are these: 1. Transubstantiation. 2. Bread-worship. 3. Sacrifice. 4. Maiming of Christs Supper. THE APPENDIX OR ADDITION ADJOINING unto the former Treatise of the Supper. Certain principal arguments of the Consubstantiaries against the sincere doctrine of the Lords Supper, and the Sacramentaries, as they call them: together with a refutation of them. 1. The errors of the Sacramentaries (say they) are, that there are but bare signs and symbols only in the Supper. Ans. We teach that the things signified are together with the signs in the right use exhibited and communicated, albeit not corporally, but in such sort as is agreeable unto Sacraments. 2. The Sacramentaries say, that Christ is present only according to his power and efficacy. Ans.
