Of late was the Lords cup at his Table distributed, according to his own commandment,1 by his express words in his Gospel, as well to the Laity as to the clergy, which order Christs Church observed so many hundred years after (as all the ancient Ecclesiastical writers do testify) without contradiction of any one of them, that can be showed unto this day: but now (alas) not only the Lords commandment is broken, his cup is denied to his servants, to whom he commanded it should be distributed, but also with the same is set up a new blasphemous kind of sacrifice to satisfy and pay the price of sins, both of the dead and of the quick, to the great & intolerable contumely of Christ our saviour his death & passion, which was and is the one only sufficient, and everlasting available sacrifice satisfactory, for all the Elects of God, from Adam the first, to the last that shall be borne in the end of the world.
