3 Thirdly, their Adoration is as corrupt and filthy, while they make men to commit gross & palpable Idolatry, in falling down before a piece of Bread: (what do I say? I know ⟨p. 63⟩not whether I may call it by that name or no, for it may be disputed of whether their Mass-cake be Bread) and worshipping a Wafer-cake, the work of mens hands. But suppose it were Christs body as they say; yet I affirm that they may not adore Christs body alone, yea, and that they cannot worship the same of it self, without horrible idolatry, because it is a creature. For though it be true, that Christ as he is God, is to be worshipped as his Father; yea, and Christ God and Man in one person is to be adored, yet we cannot without great sin, and grievous offence against God and his word, worship the humanity or manhood ⟨p. 64⟩of our Saviour Christ only.
