First the Supper of the Lord, as it was instituted by Christ, was a common or public work:1 but now cometh forth the sacrificer adorned with monstrous garments, and doth all things alone, the rest stand by & only see and hear. Wherefore if Paul did justly and worthily rebuke the Corinthians, which tarried not one for an other, & said that they could not eat the Lords Supper: how can they worthily call the Papistical Mass, by the name of the Supper of the Lord, whereas only one sacrificer eateth and drinketh? Undoubtedly by no means. Wherefore let them rather call it by any other name, than the Supper of the Lord.

Furthermore they say, that they do there offer the son of GOD unto the eternal Father. And that is by express words denied in the Epistle to the Hebrews. For it teacheth that all things were finished by the only one oblation of Christ. Which being perfect, we may not renew the same again. They will offer up Christ every day. The word of GOD affirmeth, that it was to be offered but once. I confess in deed, that the Fathers (as I have before said) did sometimes in such sort speak as though the body and blood of Christ were either offered or sacrificed in the celebration of the Sacraments.
