Cor. 11. an euerlasting sacrificer who hath left no successor Also the holy apostle when he admonished the Corinthiās reuerently to celebrate the supper of Iesus Christ dyd he commaunde them to sacrifice No but to communicate and eate together the body and blood of Iesus Christ The beginning of the holy supper was not to kyll offer and ordeyne a sacrifice to offer to God But onelye to eate and drynke at the holy feast prepared for vs by Iesus Christ the euerlasting sacrifice and euerlasting sacrificer whiche hath reserued vnto him selfe onely this eternall priesthode And yet neuerthelesse hath lefte his holye institution a banquet ordeined for vs of bread wine representing hys body and blood After the corruptions abouesayde Sathan the diligent Babilonicall buylder imployed al his forces strengthes to buyld an inuincible fortresse of Idolatrie to the end to fight against vtterly throw downe the kingdome of Iesus Christ when he did enterprise the buildyng of the Masse to be brought in in the place of the holy sacrament of the supper as we will briefly and so clearely declare that the moste hard hearted Pharisies made olde in their auncient Idolatries shall acknowledge by the veritie of histories their errours and abhominable heresies Before the painting out of this Maze of error whereinto the Massalians are plunged I haue thought it necessarye briefly to discouer the auncient religion of the Romaines the reigne of the occidental empire of the emperors which haue exercised both the temporal office the dignitie of the great bishops supertendents of the religiō church of Rom.
