John Marbecke.
Iohn Marbecke.
Then was Marbecke called, and his Indictment read,1 which was that he should say: That the holy Mass, when the Priest doeth consecrate the body of our Lord, is polluted, deformed, sinful, and open robbery of the glory of God, from the which a Christian hart ought both to abhor and flee. And the elevation of the Sacrament is the similitude of the setting up of Images of the calves in the Temple builded by Jeroboam: and that it is more abomination then the sacrifices done by the Jews in Jeroboam's temple to those calves. And that certain and sure it is that Christ himself is made in the mass, mans laughing stock.

And the eleuation of the Sacramente is the similitude of the setting vp of Images of the calues in the Temple builded by Ieroboam: and that it is more abhomination then the sacrifices done by the Iewes in Ieroboams temple to those calues. And that certaine and sure it is that Christ himself is made in the masse, mans laughing stocke.
