the_o wine_n of_o the_o eucharist_n yet_o we_o teach_v that_o the_o use_n of_o either_o part_n ought_v to_o be_v common_a to_o the_o whole_a church_n for_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o christ_n be_v nothing_o at_o all_o terrify_v by_o any_o danger_n which_o afterward_o humane_a superstition_n invent_v or_o by_o other_o devise_n give_v unto_o his_o church_n both_o part_n to_o be_v use_v also_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o ancient_a church_n do_v use_v both_o part_n for_o many_o year_n and_o certain_a writer_n do_v clearelie_o witness_v that_o they_o which_o do_v receive_v bread_n

without_o great_a sacrilege_n wherefore_o we_o think_v that_o the_o use_n of_o both_o part_n be_v in_o deed_n catholic_a &_o apostolic_a &_o that_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o any_o man_n at_o his_o pleasure_n to_o change_v this_o institution_n of_o christ_n and_o a_o ceremony_n of_o such_o continuance_n in_o the_o ancient_a and_o true_a church_n and_o to_o take_v away_o from_o the_o laity_n as_o they_o call_v they_o one_o part_n of_o the_o eucharist_n and_o it_o be_v to_o be_v marvel_v at_o that_o they_o who_o profess_v themselves_o to_o defend_v the_o ceremony_n of_o the_o ancient_a church_n shall_v so_o far_o swerve_v from_o the_o ancient_a church_n in_o this_o point_n moreover_o see_v that_o the_o word_n sacrifice_n i●_n very_o large_a and_o do_v general_o signify_v a_o holy_a worship_n we_o do_v willing_o grant_v that_o the_o true_a and_o lawful_a use_n of_o the_o eucharist_n may_v in_o this_o sense_n be_v call_v a_o sacrifice_n howbeit_o the_o eucharist_n according_a to_o the_o institution_n of_o christ_n be_v so_o celebrate_v that_o therein_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n be_v show_v forth_o and_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n be_v distribute_v to_o the_o church_n and_o so_o it_o be_v true_o call_v a_o appli_v of_o the_o meritte_v of_o the_o passion_n of_o christ_n to_o wit_n to_o they_o which_o receive_v the_o

receive_v the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n according_a to_o a_o certain_a proper_a discipline_n these_o man_n must_v be_v cast_v out_o of_o the_o church_n dionysius_n in_o his_o book_n de_fw-fr eccles_n hierarc_n say_v the_o bishop_n when_o he_o have_v praise_v the_o divine_a gift_n than_o he_o make_v the_o holy_a and_o most_o excellent_a mystery_n and_o those_o thing_n which_o before_o he_o

eucharist_n and_o that_o we_o may_v follow_v the_o example_n of_o the_o ancient_a and_o true_a catholic_a church_n that_o the_o private_a mass_n of_o the_o priest_n may_v be_v abrogate_a and_o that_o the_o public_a communion_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n may_v be_v restore_v another_o error_n be_v this_o that_o the_o eucharist_n be_v such_o a_o sacrifice_n as_o aught_o to_o be_v offer_v daielie_o in_o the_o church_n for_o the_o purge_n of_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o quick_a and_o the_o dead_a and_o for_o the_o obtain_n of_o other_o benefit_n both_o corporal_a and_o spiritual_a this_o error_n be_v evident_o contrary_a to_o the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n which_o witness_v that_o christ_n by_o one_o oblation_n once_o only_o make_v have_v make_v perfect_a for_o ever_o those_o that_o be_v sanctify_v and_o because_o that_o christ_n by_o his_o passion_n and_o death_n have_v purchase_v remission_n of_o sin_n for_o we_o which_o also_o be_v declare_v unto_o we_o by_o the_o gospel_n in_o the_o new_a
