They do teache that the sacrament of the Lordes body and bludd /
shuld be ministred in one kinde only / when it is gyuen to the
people. It is most manifest and playne / that Christe our
Sauiour did otherwyse institute it / euen to be mynistred in
bothe kindes to all communicauntes. These sacrificers therfore
in taking awaye of the cupp frõ the people they do committ most
shamefull sacriledge. We bring in agaynst them the Institucion
of Christe: But that can they not abyde to heare of. Yeat les
they shulde seame to saye nothing / They saye / That the Lord
did delyuer it in bothe kindes vnto prestes onlye / that is to
his Apostles. And yet when they themselues do mynister it vnto
prestes whiche do not saye Masse / they do gyue but the one
kinde only. But they haue nothinge to aunswer vnto Paule
[[1. Cor. 11.]]
(who writinge to the hole churche of the Corinthians / which
were not prestes only (as the papistes call them) but a
cõgregacion bothe of men and women) dothe delyuer the holy
supper vnto them in bothe kindes / as he receyued it of the
Lorde / heere haue they nothing to saye. And vnto this madnes
some of these masters do come at lenghth / That they saye that
the holy communion is not to be called the Lordes supper / for
wher is it (saye they) called the supper of the Lorde?
[[Dotor VVeston.]]
Forsothe Paule / the scoler of the holy ghost / calleth it so.
1. Cor. 11. Yea they aske farther / where the scripture
teacheth / that this holy sacrament shulde be gyuen vnto women /
[[Lyberall to Women]]
as thoughe they wolde be counted of fauour and of their
liberalitie / to gyue a communiõ vnto women /
[[1. Cor. 11.]]
and not because Godd in his worde hath appointed the sacramẽt of
hys bodye and blud to be delyuered vnto women as well as to men.
In the holy scripture it is writen / Let a man proue hym selfe.
In this worde man is man and woman comprehended. No saith a
Doctor the greke worde is / ἀνηρ which signifieth the mankinde
only:
[[Maister Latymers answer therfor is true.]]
Thys Doctor lyeth lowdly / for the greke worde / in that place
is ἄνθρωπος / which signifieth bothe man and woman. The
scriptures also do teache /
[[1 Cor. 10.]]
that the holy communion doth partayne vnto all them / which ar
one breade / and one cupp: wherfor except they wyll exclude
women out of the bodye of Christ / and shew that they be not of
the churche of Christe / how shall / or can this papist /
depryue them of the holy communion? Especially seinge it is
playnly taught / that in Christe there is neyther man / nor
woman / neyther onde / nor fre / but all are one in Christe.
[[Gal. 3.]]
