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.1 But they very oftentimes interpreted them selves, that those oblations or Sacrifices, were only thanks giving, or a memory and figure of that oblation and sacrifice, which Christ dying upon the cross made.

They affirm also, that the bread and wine, are changed into the substance of the body and blood of Christ, when as the holy Scripture doth teach us far otherwise. Moreover they lifting up the bread and wine, do set forth to the people creatures to be worshipped in stead of GOD. For what is more filthy, than religiously to worship a piece of bread, and a Cup of wine? It is true in deed, that they are made partakers of the body and blood of the Lord, namely in heart and mind, which eat and drink the signs of thanks giving, with sincere faith, & as the Lord hath instituted. But if a man do only behold and worship them, then are they nothing unto him, but a piece of bread and a Cup of wine.
