So that it is not sufficient for a Catholique man to be sory for his sinnes in harte and to confesse them in particular to the priest but he muste allso doe penaunce for them eyther in this vvorld or in purgatory D. Certainly so it is excepte peradventure by vertue of holy graynes or medalles vvell applyed the same be preuented for the Popes indulgences or pardons doe much mitigate our obligatiō in this behalfe The third fourthe Precepte Gen. 1.9 Leuit 10 Num. 6.

The Masse is the true sacrifice of the true bodie and bloode of our Sauiour Iesus Christ offered vnto God for all men inuisibly on the altare but really and truely as it vvas by him selfe on the Crosse M. And is there in it both a Sacrament and a sacrifice allso D.
