and that the prophetes of Godd did reproue the sacrifices /
which they neuertheles did partake without synne. And if we do
graunte thẽ this altogether / how can they (I praye yow) helpe
or sett furth their cause? We reade that Paule vsed ceremonies
instituted of Godd / circumcision and sacrifices / but theis men
do contend for ceremonies instituted by men. Paul did ons
circũcise his Timothie /
[[Actu. 16. 18. 21.]]
and did ons ore twis take on him a vowe / and that for certayn
and weightie causes. But theise men couet to waxe old in their
supersticions / and haue no lawfull causes to do so / except
thow wilt call that lawfull which cõmith of the affectiõs of the
fleshe. Without doubt Paule wold not haue one ore two of his
actes to be sett against his whole doctrine. But whi do they not
rather folow Paule in that /
[[Gal. 2.]]
when he refused to circũcise Titus? seing like causes are
ministred vnto them by thos which go about to spoile thẽ of
their libertie / ãd brĩg thẽ into bõdage.
[[Hovv the prophetes reproued Sacrifices and vver also
partakers of thẽ.]]
We do saye that ther were two sortes of the Sacrifices amõg the
old poeple of Israel. Sum of them are redd to be instituted of
Godd / which the poeple sum tyme abused / or els did not vse
them with true faithe / which thing the prophetes did reproue /
and not the Sacrifices thẽselues / of which they did partake
religiusly and without synne: Euen as we reade that Paule did
worthely partake the supper of the lorde / although he doth
reproue the abuse of the supper in the Corinthinians. Other
sacrifices ther were enuented by man / such were the sacrifices
of Baal / and of Ieroboam / and thos which were done in the
hilles. Theis truly the prophetes did reproue / but it is not
redde that they did communicate with the same. This example
therfor is of force against them which will excuse themselues by
the example of the prophetes / in that they do partake such
sacrifices as are instituted of man.
[[Hovv sum do thincke that they may be at Masses, ãd hovv thei
vnderstõd the masse.]]
