true Christian advice of the antient famous Bishop and Martyr St. Cyprian in his most excellent Epistle to Caecilius in relation to the manner of celebrating the Lords Supper and imitating Christs own example therein without any Humane inventions or new Ceremonies super-added thereunto which the Bishops and Church of Rome with other Churches Prelates have over-much forgotten transgressed to the
