Question 80

What difference is there betweene the Supper of the Lord, and the Popish Masse?

The Supper of the Lord testifieth to vs that we haue perfect forgiuenesse of all our sinnes for that only Sacrifice of Christ which himself once fully wrought on the Crosse: Then also that we by the holie Ghost are graffed into^a Christ, who now according to his humane nature is onely in heauen at the right hand of his^b Father, and there will be^c worshipped of vs. But in the Masse it is denied, that the quicke and the dead haue remission of sins for the onely passion of Christ; except also Christ bee daily offered for them by their Sacrificers. Further also it is taught, that Christ is bodilie vnder the formes of breade and wine, and therefore is to bee^d worshipped in them. And so the verie foundation of the Masse is nothing else than an vtter denyall of that onelie Sacrifice and passion of Christ Iesus, and an accursed Idolatrie.
