2_o the_o use_n of_o these_o vessel_n be_v now_o indifferent_a see_v there_o be_v no_o especial_a commandment_n extant_a concern_v the_o matter_n of_o the_o vessel_n which_o we_o use_v in_o the_o

past_a do_v use_v not_o golden_a but_o wooden_a chalice_n zepherinus_n the_o sixteen_o bishop_n of_o rome_n do_v decree_v that_o the_o mass_n shall_v be_v celebrate_v in_o patten_n of_o glass_n after_o that_o vrbanus_n the_o pope_n make_v all_o the_o minister_a vessel_n of_o silver_n for_o in_o this_o as_o in_o the_o other_o kind_n of_o worship_n the_o dignity_n of_o the_o church_n have_v

church_n may_v not_o be_v any_o whit_n deminish_v but_o rather_o augment_v and_o much_o enlarge_v we_o do_v ordain_v that_o hereafter_o no_o priest_n presume_v any_o way_n to_o celebrate_v the_o holy_a mystery_n of_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n in_o vessel_n of_o wood_n lest_o god_n be_v provook_v to_o wrath_n with_o that_o wherewith_o he_o shall_v be_v

yet_o let_v he_o have_v a_o chalice_n of_o tin_n and_o let_v not_o the_o chalice_n be_v make_v of_o brass_n or_o of_o latin_a which_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o virtue_n of_o wine_n procure_v canker_n and_o also_o cause_v vomit_v but_o let_v no_o man_n presume_v to_o sing_v mass_n in_o a_o chalice_n of_o wood_n or_o of_o glass_n 1_o in_o these_o decree_n will_v we_o note_v first_o that_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n do_v quick_o fall_v away_o from_o the_o thriftenes_n and_o simplicity_n of_o the_o apostle_n 2_o second_o that_o the_o new_a bishop_n do_v sometime_o abolishe_v the_o decree_n of_o their_o predecessor_n 3_o three_o that_o they_o think_v that_o the_o chief_a dignity_n and_o worship_n of_o the_o church_n do_v consist_v in_o gold_n and_o silver_n whenas_o the_o principal_a

without_o gold_n have_v also_o gather_v church_n together_o without_o gold_n the_o church_n have_v gold_n not_o to_o keep_v but_o to_o bestow_v and_o to_o succour_v in_o time_n of_o necessity_n what_o
