These men do saye further that the Masse is not to be lickened
iustly vnto the Idolatrie of the heathen / for that was directly
forbidden of godd / so is not the Masse / saye they: for thoughe
it hathe sumwhat swarued aside / yeat is it the Instituciõ of
christe. But to the contrarie I do saye / that the Masse is so
farr swarued from the ordinaunce of christe / that it hathe
nothing agreing with christis Institucion / yea and that it is
most directly repugnãt ũto it / A very Idoll / wherin
massemũgers do committe very vile Idolatrie. And this will I
proue by diuers reasons. ffurst of all. The Supper of the
Lorde / as it was delyuered of christe shold be a publique and a
common worcke and action: for Christe our Sauiour made it with
his Apostles. But nowe in the Masse / ther commithe forthe one
sacrificing preste / disguised with straunge araye / and he doth
all thinges alone / the rest stonde still loking / heeringe /
and holding their peace. If paule did worthely and Iustly saye /
when the Corinthians did not tarie and loke one for an other /
that they did not then eate the Lordes supper / then ther is not
the Lordes supper eaten / wher one tarieth not for an other so
that they maye eate all together: And how shall we then saye /
that the Masse is the Lordes supper / wher one only sacryficing
prest doth eate and drincke vpp all alone? surly it can not be
so called: for to be, and not to be the Lords supper / ar
contrarie / Paule saith / it is not the Lords supper / wherfor
call your Masse by what name ye will / the Lords supper it is
not / for paule is to be beleaued before all massinge
marchauntes.
They saye morouer that in their Masse / they do offer vpp the
sonne of godd vnto the eternall father for the synnes of the
quicke and the deade: And this they do call the principall point
of their masse. But in the Laste Supper of the Lorde that
Scacrifice and oblaciõ was not made / but vppõ the crosse / as
the scripture witnessith. And as for this their offerẽge /
ffurst / paul doth denie it in most playn words in the epistle
to the hebrues /
[[Heb. 9. 10.]]
wher he sayeth that all oblacions for synne wer consummate and
finished / and all thinges made perfect by that one only
oblacion / which christe Iesus our Sauiour in his own parson
made of hymself vppon the crosse. The worde of godd teachithe /
that christe was but ons only to be sacrificed and offered /
And that Sacrifice no more to be made: for if it wer often to
be made / then the furst was not perfect / But the furst was
perfect / Therfor ther must be no repeating of it. The papistes
do saye / that they dayly offer christe for to take awaye
synne / and that this Sacrifice must be dayly repeted of them /
The scripture denieth this playnly: And thus ye do se that heere
is a playne contradiction.
