For lack of time, I leave the commemoration of the blessed supper of the Lord,1 and the abominable idol the mass, which is it that Daniel meaneth by the God Maozim. Read the second and last chap. of Daniel, the ij. to the Thes. the 2. Epistle: where as they recite the abomination of desolation, which Matthew saith, standeth in the holy place, which is the consciences of men. Mark sayeth, where it ought not to stand, which is a plain denial of all the inventions of men. Further Luke saith, the time is at hand. Paul saith, the mystery of iniquity worketh already, yea, and shall continue till the appearance of Christ, which in my judgement is at hand.

Now for the supper of the Lord, I do protest to take it as reverently as Christ left it, and as his apostles did use it, according to the testimonies of the Prophets, the Apostles and our blessed saviour Christ, which accordingly S. Paul to the Ephesians doth recite.
