Wood. What do you offer now upon the altar?
Wood. What do you offer now vpon the aultar?
Chich. We offer up in the blessed Sacrament of the Altar the body of Christ,1 to pacify the wrath of God the Father: and therewith they put off their caps all, to that abominable Idol.
Chich. We offer vp in the blessed Sacramente of the Aultar the body of Christ,1 to pacifye the wrath of God the Father: and therewith they put off their cappes all, to that abominable Idoll.
Wood. Saint Paul saith to the Hebrews, in the x. chap. We are sanctified by the offering of the body of Jesus Christ upon the cross once for all: and every Priest is daily ministering & oftentimes offereth one manner of offering, which can never take away sins: and that is the offering that you use to offer. As far as I can see, you be priests after the order of Aaron, that offered up Sacrifice for their own sins, and the sins of the people.

As farre as I can see, you be priestes after the order of Aaron, that offered vp Sacrifice for their own sinnes, and the sinnes of the people.
Chichest. Nay, Aaron's sacrifice was with blood, which signifieth the death of Christ, the which was ended upon the Cross by his bloudshedding: but we are Priests after the order of Melchizedek,1 the which offered bread to the king in remembrance, and signified the giving of Christs body in bread & wine at his last supper, the which he gave to his disciples, & commanded it to be used to the end of the world. This is the sacrifice that we offer, according to his word.

This is the sacrifice that we offer, according to his word.
Woodman. Me think you have made the matter very ⟨p. 1992⟩plain to me, that as Christ was the end of all Sacrifices, so was he the beginning of the Sacraments, willing them to be used in the remembrance of him, to the worlds end.
Woodman. Me thinke you haue made the matter verye ⟨p. 1992⟩playne to me, that as Christ was the ende of all Sacrifices, so was he the beginning of the Sacramentes, willing them to be vsed in the remembraunce of him, to the worldes end.
Chichest. What, in remembrance of him, and not him self,1 as his word saith: Take, eat, this is my body? It is not the sign only, but the thing it self. How say you? is it not his body, after the words be spoken by the priest? How say you? go briefly to work, for I can not long tarry with you.
Chichest. What, in remembraunce of hym, and not hym selfe,1 as his worde sayth: Take, eate, this is my body? It is not the signe onely, but the thing it selfe. How say you? is it not his body, after the words be spoken by the priest? How say you? goe briefly to worke, for I can not long tary with you.
Wood. My Lord, if you will answer me to one sacrament, I will answer you to another.
Wood. My Lord, if you will answere me to one sacramēt, I will answere you to another.
Chich. Yes, I am very well contented with that.
Wood. If you say the words of baptism over the water, & there be no child there, is there true baptism?
Wood. If you say the words of baptisme ouer the water, & there be no childe there, is there true baptisme?
Chich. No, there must be the water, the word, and the child, and then it is baptism.
Chich. No, there must be the water, the worde, and the child, and then it is baptisme.
Wood. Very well. Then if a child be Baptised in the name of the Father, and of the Son, it is not truly baptised.
Wood. Uerye well. Then if a childe bee Baptised in the name of the Father, and of the Sonne, it is not truely baptised.
Chich. No the child must be baptised in the name of the father, & of the Son, & the holy ghost, or else it is not truly baptised.
Chich. No the childe muste bee baptised in the name of the father, & of the sonne, & the holy ghost, or els it is not truly baptised.
