Ownbey Weekly Reader, Sunday July 13, 2003

Articles of Religion

• Article 20—Of the One Oblation of Christ, Finished upon the Cross  The offering of Christ, once made, is that perfect redemption, propitiation, and satisfaction for all the sins of the whole  world, both original and actual; and there is none other satisfaction for sin but that alone. Wherefore the sacrifice of  masses, in the which it is commonly said that the priest doth offer Christ for the quick and the dead, to have remission of  pain or guilt, is a blasphemous fable and dangerous deceit.
• Article 19—Of Both Kinds  The cup of the Lord is not to be denied to the lay people; for both the parts of the Lord's Supper, by Christ's ordinance  and commandment, ought to be administered to all Christians alike.
