of_o those_o i_o mean_v the_o countermand_v that_o solemn_a and_o last_o command_n of_o our_o lord_n and_o saviour_n jesus_n at_o his_o last_o supper_n after_o he_o have_v institute_v the_o bless_a

of_o one_o circumstance_n therein_o which_o perchance_o you_o have_v never_o yet_o observe_v and_o it_o be_v this_o when_o our_o saviour_n deliver_v the_o bread_n unto_o the_o apostle_n he_o say_v

the_o pope_n as_o ungrateful_o as_o insolent_o presume_v to_o command_v to_o keep_v the_o cup_n from_o the_o people_n who_o can_v have_v believe_v such_o a_o insolency_n have_v not_o the_o whole_a

have_v take_v away_o the_o bread_n also_o and_o make_v the_o people_n only_a gazer_n on_o and_o admirer_n of_o the_o great_a dignity_n of_o the_o priest_n who_o alone_o be_v admit_v to_o that_o holy_a supper_n for_o so_o it_o be_v among_o they_o now_o for_o the_o most_o part_n the_o priest_n say_v mass_n every_o day_n but_o the_o common_a people_n general_o receive_v the_o bless_a sacrament_n but_o once_o or_o twice_o a_o year_n now_o have_v the_o pope_n take_v away_o the_o bread_n also_o he_o may_v have_v give_v the_o very_a same_o reason_n for_o that_o as_o he_o do_v for_o take_v away_o the_o cup._n they_o give_v two_o reason_n first_o because_o it_o may_v happen_v that_o in_o deliver_v the_o cup_n to_o many_o people_n the_o wine_n which_o they_o call_v the_o blood_n may_v be_v spill_v why_o so_o in_o give_v the_o bread_n some_o crumb_n may_v fall_v and_o they_o affirm_v that_o christ_n body_n be_v entire_o contain_v in_o the_o least_o crumb_n second_o they_o say_v the_o people_n have_v the_o blood_n of_o christ_n in_o his_o body_n when_o they_o receive_v that_o and_o therefore_o they_o need_v it_o not_o again_o in_o the_o cup._n though_o it_o be_v apparent_a in_o scripture_n that_o our_o saviour_n give_v it_o in_o the_o cup_n apart_o to_o signify_v his_o bloodshedding_n from_o his_o body_n say_v this_o be_v my_o blood_n which_o be_v shed_v but_o it_o be_v no_o matter_n what_o our_o saviour_n say_v the_o pope_n say_v otherwise_o and_o we_o must_v hearken_v to_o he_o he_o say_v it_o be_v sufficient_a for_o the_o people_n to_o receive_v the_o blood_n in_o his_o body_n and_o so_o shall_v he_o say_v that_o he_o be_v the_o head_n of_o the_o church_n and_o if_o he_o alone_o receive_v the_o bread_n and_o cup_n and_o no_o other_o neither_o people_n nor_o priest_n receive_v either_o it_o be_v sufficient_a if_o the_o head_n receive_v they_o the_o head_n stand_v for_o the_o whole_a body_n the_o pope_n guide_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n say_v so_o and_o then_o who_o dare_v say_v otherwise_o and_o thus_o you_o see_v that_o if_o we_o once_o let_v go_v the_o scripture_n farewell_o all_o religion_n all_o the_o command_n of_o god_n be_v to_o small_a purpose_n
