AND whereas chap. vi. of St. John, was alleged to prove, that Christ did give his body corporally in his supper, even as he had promised in the same chapter, it is most untrue, for he only gave his body sacramentally, spiritually, and effectually in his supper to the faithful apostles, and corporally he gave it in a bloody sacrifice for the life of the world upon the cross once for all. There in his own person, in his own natural body, he bore all our sins. By whose stripes we are healed, as St. Peter showeth, 1 Peter ii, and Isa. liii. Indeed receiving Christ's sacrament accordingly as it was instituted, we receive Christ's body and Christ's blood, even as I said before th• apostles did.

BUT the popish mass is another matter. The mass, as it is now, is but one of Antichrist's youngest daughters, in which the devil is rather present and received, than our Saviour, the second person in the Trinity, God and Man. O Lord God, heavenly Father, for Christ's sake, we beseech thee to turn again England to the right way it was in, in king Edward's time.
