And therefore the priests and the Romaine catholics do very evil consider these things. For they do clean contrary, dividing and separating them selves in sort that they do divide and separate them selves the one from the others, both in table, in bread, and in their wine, as though their body of their Church were a body divided, dismembered, and rent in pieces, and that there were at all neither union nor conjunction among them. For, for the first,1 behold there are the tables of the priests separated from that of other men, the ⟨image 69⟩which they do not prepare very often: and albeit that they did often prepare them, they do allow as many particulars as men would have in divers places, and at sundry times, without keeping any certain order. And how often is it that they do prepare them for themselves, when they do not prepare them for any other at all? For in all their masses, wherein none of the assistants do communicate with them, they do prepare them only for them selves. And when they do prepare them for them selves, they should very well content them selves to prepare one for all, and to communicate the one with the others, and to receive the Supper the one at the hand of the other, without preparing so many tables apart, & so many banquets in a morning, all separate the one from the other, as though every of them did excommunicate his fellow, being at his several table and communion, who hath nothing common with any man. Wherein every of them playeth two parts: For they play the part of the minister which doeth administer the Supper, and of him unto whom it is administered. For every of them is minister to him self,2 and doth receive of him self. If they do understand that their mass is a Sacrifice and sacrament of the supper both together, as they do affirm it, they should yet at the least when ⟨image 69⟩they have offered their sacrifice, make their communion more general then they do, and to call the people with them thereunto, or at the least their fellows, which are of the same very occupation that they are. And in so doing, it should not be needful to have so many tables, nor so many altars, nor so many Chapels.
ANd therefore the priests and the Romaine catholikes do very euil cōsider these things. For they do cleane contrary, deuiding and separating them selues in sort that they do deuide and separate them selues the one from the others, both in table, in bread, and in their wine, as though their body of their Church were a body deuided, dismembred, and rent in pieces, and that there were at all neither vnion nor coniunction among them. For, for the first,1 beholde there are the tables of the priestes separated from that of other men, the ⟨image 69⟩which they do not prepare very often: and albeit that they did often prepare them, they do allowe as many particulars as men would haue in diuers places, and at sundry times, without keeping any certaine order. And howe often is it that they doe prepare them for themselues, whē they do not prepare thē for any other at all? For in al their masses, wherein none of the assistants doe communicate with them, they doe prepare them only for them selues. And when they doe prepare them for them selues, they should very well content them selues to prepare one for al, and to communicate the one with the others, and to receiue the Supper the one at ye hand of the other, without preparing so many tables apart, & so many bankets in a morning, al separate the one from the other, as though euery of them did excommunicate his fellowe, being at his seueral table and communion, who hath nothing common with any man. Wherin euery of them plaieth two parts: For they play the part of the minister which doeth administer the Supper, and of him vnto whom it is administred. For euery of them is minister to him selfe,2 and doth receiue of him selfe. If they doe vnderstand that their masse is a Sacrifice and sacrament of the supper both together, as they doe affirme it, they should yet at the least when ⟨image 69⟩they haue offered their sacrifice, make their communion more generall then they doe, and to call the people with them thereunto, or at the least their felowes, which are of the same very occupation that they are. And in so dooyng, it should not be nedefull to haue so many tables, nor so many altars, nor so many Chappels.
