This commandment. S. Paul did not lightly let slip, but he knew that it was the ordinance and the commandment of the Lord: and also knew ye one jot or title of his words should not, nor ought, nor can not be let slip, without peril of the souls of them y• so little makes of his word. And therefore he durst not, nor would not (and yet he had as great authority as the counsel of constance) let slip or transpose the institution and commandment of the Lord, but wholly and fully with all diligence he wrote those words unto all the whole congregation of the Corinthians, not to the ministers or priests all only, but to the whole congregation, that is as well to the ministers of the word as to lay men: and also the contrary, for he saith when you come together: & that you may perceive y• he speaks indifferently, he there reproveth them that tarried not for poor men.

And therfore hée durst not, nor would not (and yet hée had as great auctoritie as the counsell of constance) let slip or tanspose the institution and commaundement of the Lord, but wholy and fully with all diligence hée wrote those wordes vnto all the whole congregation of the Corinthians, not to the ministers or priestes all onely, but to the whole congregation, that is as well to the mynisters of the word as to lay men: and also the contrary, for hée sayth when you come togither: & that you may perceaue y hée speakes indifferently, hée there reproueth thē that tarryed not for poore men. And also these wordes bée playne, who so euer shall eate of this bread and drink of this cup worthely. &c. Now vnto this whole congregatiō (I doubt not but by ye spirit of the Lord which sawe béefore this damnable errour to bée instituted of antichrist and his very & all onely mynisters) hée sayd drinke you, yea and to reproue and manifestly to declare this open errour, hée adeth this worde, Cuppe, signifying and teaching that Christes ordinaunce is
