1619, Lewis Richome (Louis Richeome) aut. and C.A. tr., Holy Pictures of the my?ticall Figures of the mo?t holy Sacrifice and Sacrament of the Euchari?t, the tenth picture: “The Propitiatory Sacrifice”, § 7: ‘The Sacrifice of the Ma??e, and the Sacraments, rather giue then take any honor from the Cro??e’, page 197:For in outward ?hew nothing appeares, but infirmity, to the eyes of Infidels, neither will they beleeue, that our Sauiour can make his body there pre?ent; it al?o ?eemes to them impiety, and therefore they call it Idolatry; it appeares to them nothing, but folly, and therefore they mocke at it, as if it were a Comœdy; whereas, notwith?tanding, it is an action of the Sonne of God, and the mo?t godly worke of Piety and Religion, that is in the Church.
