Moreover, the Priest toucheth not 1Christs natural body with his hands by your own doctrine, nor seeth it with his eyes, nor breaketh it with his fingers, nor eateth it with his mouth, nor chammeth it with his teeth, nor drinketh his blood with his lips for Christ is impassible. But he that repenteth toward the law of God, and 2at the sight of the sacrament, or of the breaking, feeling, eating, chamming or drinking, calleth to remembrance the death of Christ, his body breaking and blood shedding for our sins, and all his passion, the same eateth our Saviours body and drinketh his blood through faith only, & receiveth forgiveness of all his sins thereby, and other not. And all that have not this doctrine of the Sacrament come thereto in vain. And therefore there is no more cause that he which saith the Mass should live chaste, then he that heareth it, or he that ministereth the Sacrament, then he that receiveth it. It is to me great marvel that unlawful whoredom, covetousness, and extortion, can not defile their hands, as well as law full matrimony. Cursed therefore be their devilish doctrine with false appearing ⟨p. 317⟩godliness, the fruit and power away, out of the hearts of all Christen men.

But he that repenteth toward the lawe of God, and 2at the sight of the sacrament, or of the breaking, feling, eating, chamming or drinking, calleth to remembraunce the death of Christ, his body breaking and bloud shedding for our sinnes, and all his passion, the same eateth our Sauiours body and drinketh his bloud thorow fayth onely, & receaueth forgeuenes of all his sinnes therby, and other not. And all that haue not this doctrine of the Sacrament come therto in vaine. And therfore there is no more cause that he which sayth the Masse should liue chast, then he that heareth it, or he that ministreth the Sacramēt, then he that receaueth it. It is to me great maruell that vnlawfull whoredome, couetousnes, and extortion, can not defile their handes, as well as law full matrimonye. Curssed therefore be their deuillishe doctrine wyth false appearing
