christ_n whereby_o we_o be_v oblige_v to_o profess_v he_o to_o be_v our_o master_n and_o to_o serve_v he_o with_o all_o duty_n and_o obedience_n as_o servant_n do_v their_o master_n and_o so_o we_o receive_v a_o character_n which_o be_v as_o it_o be_v christ_n his_o livery_n whereby_o we_o be_v know_v to_o belong_v to_o his_o family_n by_o confirmation_n we_o be_v make_v soldier_n to_o fight_v in_o the_o cause_n of_o christ_n and_o to_o follow_v he_o as_o soldier_n do_v their_o general_n and_o so_o we_o be_v know_v for_o such_o as_o if_o it_o be_v by_o wear_v his_o colour_n which_o be_v express_v by_o a_o distinct_a character_n from_o the_o former_a by_o order_n those_o who_o be_v ordain_v be_v institute_v officer_n to_o govern_v and_o undergo_v several_a charge_n in_o christ_n his_o family_n who_o likewise_o be_v all_o distinguish_v by_o several_a spiritual_a mark_n or_o character_n which_o do_v always_o remain_v in_o the_o soul_n and_o can_v be_v blot_v out_o 14._o why_o do_v not_o the_o other_o four_o sacrament_n confer_v also_o character_n because_o by_o they_o a_o man_n be_v not_o design_v for_o any_o peculiar_a function_n in_o order_n to_o christ_n his_o family_n nor_o put_v into_o any_o permanent_a state_n but_o they_o be_v give_v only_o for_o some_o particular_a necessity_n of_o our_o own_o and_o be_v certain_a mean_n whereby_o to_o attain_v unto_o that_o perfection_n which_o we_o be_v oblige_v unto_o by_o the_o date_n or_o profession_n whereunto_o we_o do_v engage_v ourselves_o by_o the_o other_o three_o sacrament_n as_o penance_n for_o reconciliation_n eucharist_n for_o nouriture_n extreme_a unction_n to_o take_v away_o the_o relic_n of_o sin_n thereby_o to_o strengthen_v we_o against_o the_o last_o assault_n of_o the_o devil_n and_o matrimony_n to_o enable_v the_o marry_a to_o bear_v the_o burden_n of_o wedlock_n 15._o why_o be_v it_o sacrilege_n to_o reiterate_v those_o sacrament_n that_o confer_v character_n the_o reason_n of_o it_o be_v because_o by_o these_o sacrament_n man_n make_v a_o gift_n of_o himself_o and_o his_o service_n to_o god_n according_a to_o the_o several_a condition_n of_o the_o state_n whereunto_o he_o be_v addict_v by_o each_o sacrament_n whereby_o he_o be_v no_o more_o at_o his_o own_o dispose_n in_o that_o respect_n which_o as_o i_o say_v before_o he_o do_v in_o baptism_n as_o a_o servant_n to_o a_o master_n of_o a_o family_n in_o confirmation_n as_o a_o soldier_n to_o his_o general_n in_o a_o army_n in_o order_n as_o a_o marry_a man_n to_o propagate_v his_o church_n now_o no_o man_n can_v give_v any_o thing_n but_o that_o which_o be_v his_o own_o and_o therefore_o he_o who_o have_v once_o give_v himself_o to_o god_n any_o of_o these_o way_n can_v give_v himself_o again_o to_o he_o the_o same_o way_n that_o be_v in_o respect_n of_o the_o same_o service_n for_o which_o he_o give_v himself_o before_o and_o so_o it_o be_v a_o sacrilege_n to_o reiterate_v these_o sacrament_n for_o that_o be_v to_o release_v a_o gift_n by_o suppose_v himself_o still_o free_a of_o which_o he_o can_v be_v release_v by_o man_n but_o only_o by_o god_n for_o what_o be_v once_o give_v can_v be_v give_v again_o but_o belong_v to_o he_o to_o who_o it_o be_v give_v and_o not_o to_o the_o giver_n 16._o wherefore_o be_v godfather_n also_o appoint_v in_o this_o sacrament_n to_o the_o end_n that_o the_o confirm_a may_v have_v instruction_n how_o to_o wield_v his_o spiritual_a arm_n &_o also_o to_o let_v he_o know_v that_o although_o he_o have_v receive_v the_o grace_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n yet_o he_o must_v not_o be_v too_o confident_a in_o his_o own_o force_n but_o that_o he_o must_v humble_v himself_o and_o harken_v unto_o the_o advice_n and_o instruction_n of_o other_o who_o have_v more_o experience_n than_o himself_o in_o christian_a discipline_n 17._o which_o sacrament_n be_v the_o next_o in_o order_n after_o confirmation_n the_o holy_a eucharist_n for_o nature_n teach_v we_o that_o life_n can_v be_v long_o preserve_v in_o we_o without_o nouriture_n through_o the_o want_n whereof_o we_o do_v by_o little_a and_o little_o loose_v our_o strength_n and_o at_o length_n perish_v lesson_n xxvi_o of_o the_o holy_a eucharist_n 1._o what_o be_v the_o holy_a eucharist_n it_o be_v a_o sacrament_n institute_v by_o jesus_n christ_n under_o the_o outward_a form_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n wherein_o as_o under_o a_o veil_n be_v contain_v his_o true_a body_n and_o blood_n put_v there_o by_o the_o word_n of_o consecration_n that_o so_o they_o may_v become_v a_o sacred_a food_n to_o nourish_v we_o spiritual_o and_o to_o sanctify_v both_o the_o soul_n and_o body_n of_o they_o who_o shall_v worthy_o receive_v they_o 2._o what_o be_v the_o sensible_a sign_n in_o this_o sacrament_n it_o be_v the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n as_o they_o be_v present_v to_o we_o under_o the_o visible_a form_n either_o of_o bread_n or_o wine_n 3._o where_o do_v we_o find_v a_o promise_n of_o grace_n to_o this_o sacrament_n in_o the_o six_o of_o s._n john_n where_o our_o saviour_n say_v that_o he_o who_o shall_v eat_v of_o this_o bread_n shall_v live_v for_o ever_o and_o the_o bread_n which_o i_o shall_v give_v you_o be_v my_o flesh_n for_o the_o life_n of_o the_o world_n which_o place_n be_v common_o understand_v by_o the_o father_n to_o be_v mean_v of_o the_o bless_a sacrament_n and_o it_o be_v first_o put_v in_o execution_n by_o our_o saviour_n himself_o who_o give_v it_o to_o his_o apostle_n at_o his_o last_o supper_n 4._o be_v we_o oblige_v to_o receive_v this_o sacrament_n yes_o first_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o institution_n of_o it_o which_o as_o we_o say_v of_o the_o sacrament_n of_o confirmation_n do_v oblige_v they_o for_o who_o it_o be_v institute_v to_o receive_v it_o and_o it_o be_v institute_v for_o all_o after_o a_o certain_a age_n and_o second_o because_o we_o be_v in_o danger_n of_o spiritual_a death_n if_o we_o do_v not_o receive_v this_o spiritual_a nourishment_n often_o for_o every_o one_o that_o he_o may_v live_v spiritual_o have_v need_n to_o be_v nourish_v spiritual_o and_o therefore_o the_o church_n do_v command_v we_o at_o least_o to_o receive_v it_o once_o a_o year_n 5._o why_o be_v it_o institute_v under_o the_o form_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n because_o these_o foode_n be_v most_o common_a and_o so_o most_o fit_a for_o that_o sacrament_n which_o be_v institute_v for_o all_o mankind_n and_o also_o because_o bread_n and_o wine_n do_v signify_v the_o substance_n of_o all_o eat_n or_o drink_v they_o be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o groundwork_n of_o all_o the_o rest_n and_o so_o they_o be_v most_o fit_a to_o express_v that_o this_o sacrament_n work_v the_o like_a spiritual_a effect_n in_o the_o soul_n which_o meat_n and_o drink_v work_v material_o in_o though_o body_n 6._o do_v there_o remain_v after_o consecration_n bread_n in_o the_o host_n and_o wine_n in_o the_o chalice_n no_o for_o all_o the_o substance_n both_o of_o bread_n and_o wine_n be_v take_v away_o to_o give_v place_n to_o the_o substance_n of_o christ_n his_o body_n and_o blood_n which_o only_o remain_v there_o unite_v to_o the_o accident_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n 7._o do_v the_o priest_n by_o communicate_v under_o both_o form_n receive_v no_o more_o than_o he_o who_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n under_o the_o form_n of_o bread_n alone_o or_o of_o wine_n alone_o no_o for_o he_o who_o communicate_v under_o the_o form_n of_o bread_n alone_o or_o of_o wine_n alone_o receive_v both_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n because_o he_o receive_v his_o live_a body_n which_o from_o the_o instant_n of_o his_o most_o glorious_a resurrection_n can_v never_o more_o be_v separate_v from_o his_o blood_n 8._o how_o possible_o can_v the_o true_a and_o natural_a body_n of_o christ_n be_v contain_v within_o so_o small_a a_o compass_n as_o be_v a_o little_a piece_n of_o bread_n he_o who_o tell_v we_o that_o he_o be_v able_a to_o make_v a_o camel_n pass_v through_o a_o needle_n eye_n have_v power_n also_o to_o do_v this_o and_o as_o he_o there_o tell_v we_o though_o with_o man_n these_o thing_n be_v impossible_a yet_o all_o thing_n be_v possible_a with_o he_o who_o we_o believe_v in_o our_o creed_n to_o be_v almighty_a 9_o be_v christ_n body_n and_o blood_n under_o every_o part_n of_o the_o host_n as_o well_o as_o under_o the_o whole_a yes_o for_o as_o it_o be_v define_v in_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n the_o least_o part_n of_o every_o host_n and_o the_o least_o part_n of_o the_o consecrate_a wine_n do_v contain_v all_o the_o flesh_n and_o blood_n the_o body_n and_o the_o soul_n the_o humanity_n and_o divinity_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o be_v because_o christ_n his_o body_n be_v bring_v into_o the_o visible_a
mass_n and_o to_o these_o we_o ought_v to_o bear_v a_o particular_a respect_n and_o devotion_n as_o be_v the_o most_o excellent_a of_o all_o other_o because_o they_o be_v the_o word_n of_o the_o universal_a church_n inspire_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o pronounce_v by_o the_o mouth_n of_o his_o minister_n lesson_n xxxvi_o of_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o mass_n 1._o be_v the_o sacrifice_n of_o mass_n self_n a_o mean_n also_o to_o obtain_v god_n his_o help_a grace_n yes_o and_o in_o some_o sort_n the_o most_o efficacious_a and_o most_o general_a of_o all_o for_o by_o it_o we_o appease_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n wonderful_o and_o so_o draw_v his_o blessing_n upon_o we_o continual_o because_o in_o it_o do_v consist_v the_o principal_a function_n of_o religion_n by_o which_o we_o perform_v our_o chiefo_fw-la duty_n towards_o god_n 2._o what_o be_v the_o sacrifice_n of_o mass_n it_o be_v the_o christian_a sacrifice_n ordain_v by_o jesus_n christ_n to_o be_v offer_v up_o to_o his_o father_n to_o the_o world_n end_n in_o remembrance_n of_o that_o bloody_a sacrifice_n upon_o the_o cross_n where_o he_o by_o his_o own_o sacred_a death_n offer_v up_o himself_o a_o holocoust_a to_o god_n for_o the_o redemption_n of_o mankind_n 3._o be_v the_o sacrifice_n of_o mass_n also_o itself_o a_o mean_n whereby_o to_o pray_v yes_o but_o it_o be_v such_o in_o a_o more_o eminent_a degree_n than_o all_o the_o rest_n for_o god_n be_v more_o honour_a by_o it_o then_o by_o all_o our_o other_o action_n and_o therefore_o as_o saint_n denis_n say_v of_o almighty_a god_n that_o he_o be_v not_o goodness_n nor_o wisdom_n nor_o power_n nor_o beauty_n as_o we_o use_v to_o call_v he_o because_o our_o conception_n be_v short_a of_o that_o which_o these_o perfection_n be_v in_o he_o so_o the_o honour_n which_o be_v give_v to_o god_n by_o other_o action_n be_v so_o short_a of_o the_o honour_n which_o be_v give_v to_o he_o by_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o mass_n as_o that_o this_o sacrifice_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v reckon_v as_o one_o of_o our_o other_o action_n whereby_o we_o pray_v but_o it_o be_v to_o be_v place_v in_o a_o rank_n by_o itself_o above_o all_o the_o rest_n 4._o what_o be_v a_o sacrifice_n it_o be_v a_o outward_a action_n whereby_o we_o offer_v up_o to_o almighty_a god_n some_o creature_n by_o destroy_v or_o kill_v it_o protest_v thereby_o both_o a_o supreme_a worthiness_n in_o he_o as_o be_v author_n of_o life_n and_o death_n to_o who_o we_o shall_v sacrifice_v even_o our_o own_o life_n if_o it_o be_v profitable_a and_o necessary_a for_o his_o honour_n and_o also_o a_o readiness_n in_o we_o to_o do_v so_o when_o he_o shall_v require_v it_o of_o us._n and_o the_o thing_n which_o be_v thus_o offer_v up_o be_v call_v the_o host_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n 5._o a_o sacrifice_n than_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o worship_n due_a to_o god_n alone_o yes_o and_o it_o be_v the_o great_a worship_n that_o we_o can_v exhibit_v to_o god_n both_o in_o respect_n of_o that_o perfection_n which_o we_o acknowledge_v in_o he_o which_o be_v the_o very_a godhead_n itself_o for_o god_n signify_v as_o much_o as_o the_o author_n of_o be_v to_o all_o thing_n which_o be_v the_o very_a thing_n we_o acknowledge_v of_o he_o proper_o by_o the_o sacrifice_n as_o also_o in_o respect_n of_o that_o which_o we_o profess_v to_o be_v due_a to_o he_o which_o be_v our_o own_o life_n if_o he_o please_v to_o exact_v they_o of_o we_o which_o be_v the_o great_a thing_n that_o we_o can_v give_v in_o this_o world_n and_o therefore_o sacrifice_v be_v always_o hold_v the_o chief_a function_n in_o all_o religion_n 6._o what_o be_v the_o host_n in_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o mass_n it_o be_v christ_n jesus_n himself_o who_o body_n and_o blood_n be_v true_o offer_v up_o to_o his_o father_n under_o the_o form_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n 7._o how_o be_v this_o do_v it_o be_v do_v by_o the_o word_n institute_v by_o jesus_n christ_n and_o pronounce_v by_o the_o priest_n in_o his_o name_n in_o which_o word_n a_o divine_a virtue_n be_v present_a to_o produce_v the_o effect_n they_o signify_v 8._o why_o do_v christ_n institute_v this_o sacrifice_n to_o continue_v in_o the_o world_n the_o sacrifice_n which_o he_o do_v offer_v for_o we_o upon_o the_o cross_n to_o the_o end_n that_o he_o may_v render_v a_o perpetual_a honour_n to_o his_o father_n in_o sacrifice_v

because_o his_o true_a body_n and_o his_o true_a blood_n be_v real_o offer_v up_o to_o god_n and_o not_o mystical_o only_a 10._o how_o be_v he_o true_o sacrifice_v if_o he_o be_v not_o true_o kill_v because_o his_o own_o body_n and_o his_o own_o blood_n be_v make_v by_o virtue_n of_o the_o consecration_n a_o true_a memorial_n of_o his_o bloody_a death_n upon_o the_o cross_n they_o be_v by_o

to_o signify_v and_o therefore_o by_o the_o word_n of_o consecration_n christ_n be_v true_o and_o real_o sacrifice_v 11._o why_o do_v he_o institute_v this_o sacrifice_n under_o the_o form_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n to_o signify_v the_o separation_n of_o his_o body_n and_o blood_n which_o be_v cause_v by_o his_o bitter_a passion_n 12._o who_o be_v he_o that_o offer_v up_o christ_n to_o his_o

the_o elevation_n and_o the_o consummation_n which_o be_v do_v when_o the_o priest_n receive_v the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n 17._o must_v we_o have_v the_o same_o disposition_n
