Of the trumperies of the doctors of the Romaine Church concerning the name of sacrifice and the use thereof: and chiefly of the confusion which they put between the sacrifice propitiatory, and Eucharistic, and between sacrament, and sacrifice, and of the difference that must be put between the one and the other.

The first is in the confusion that they make between the sacrifices: The other, in that they take the name of sacrifice in the writings of the ancient doctors, for the mass such as it is in the Romaine Church.
