appear_v first_o by_o this_o that_o it_o belong_v not_o to_o all_o person_n to_o consecrate_v the_o bread_n and_o the_o wine_n in_o the_o supper_n but_o only_o to_o such_o as_o be_v lawful_o ordain_v by_o the_o imposition_n of_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o pastor_n and_o bishop_n according_a to_o the_o succession_n since_o the_o apostle_n till_o our_o time_n and_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o the_o most_o part_n of_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o suppose_a reform_a church_n be_v not_o ordain_v by_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o pastor_n who_o have_v power_n by_o succession_n of_o one_o to_o a_o other_o since_o the_o apostle_n so_o that_o we_o must_v conclude_v that_o such_o minister_n usurp_v the_o office_n that_o pertain_v not_o to_o they_o can_v not_o make_v any_o

pronunciation_n of_o certain_a word_n upon_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n impugn_v first_o that_o which_o jesus_n christ_n do_v and_o after_o leave_v it_o to_o the_o apostle_n and_o their_o successor_n to_o do_v so_o they_o can_v not_o pretend_v any_o consecration_n of_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n nor_o that_o in_o they_o do_v come_v any_o mutation_n whereof_o it_o follow_v that_o as_o they_o

to_o the_o confection_n of_o the_o sacrament_n which_o be_v the_o matter_n or_o element_n and_o the_o word_n the_o minister_n answer_v that_o the_o sacrament_n consider_v in_o his_o perfection_n

apply_v to_o we_o justice_n remission_n of_o sin_n life_n grace_n of_o god_n with_o all_o the_o other_o favour_n and_o blissing_n which_o by_o the_o same_o sacrifice_n have_v be_v purchase_v &_o obtain_v for_o we_o the_o word_n and_o the_o sacrament_n have_v be_v leave_v and_o ordain_v for_o we_o and_o special_o that_o of_o the_o supper_n wherein_o as_o upon_o a_o table_n we_o behold_v jesus_n christ_n suffer_v for_o we_o all_o the_o dolour_n and_o anguish_n of_o death_n pay_v our_o debt_n and_o cancel_v the_o bond_n that_o be_v against_o we_o carry_v upon_o himself_o our_o malediction_n to_o discharge_v we_o of_o it_o and_o by_o his_o obedience_n reconcile_a we_o to_o god_n his_o father_n and_o appease_v his_o wrath_n towards_o we_o all_o which_o thing_n be_v represent_v and_o assure_v to_o we_o in_o the_o supper_n when_o with_o a_o true_a faith_n we_o come_v thither_o to_o celebrate_v it_o then_o the_o supper_n be_v not_o ordain_v to_o be_v a_o sacrifice_n propitiatory_a as_o the_o doctor_n teach_v and_o the_o romish_a church_n false_o believe_v but_o to_o be_v a_o sacrament_n to_o keep_v fresh_a and_o preserve_v always_o the_o memory_n which_o we_o ought_v to_o hold_v constant_o of_o the_o death_n and_o sacrifice_n of_o jesus_n christ_n there_o be_v great_a difference_n between_o sacrament_n and_o sacrifice_n because_o in_o sacrifice_n we_o present_v to_o god_n our_o oblation_n and_o in_o the_o sacrament_n god_n of_o the_o contrary_a do_v offer_v and_o communicate_v with_o we_o his_o grace_n and_o gift_n also_o in_o the_o sacrifice_n for_o sin_n there_o be_v death_n and_o effusion_n of_o blood_n of_o the_o host_n and_o oblation_n and_o not_o in_o the_o sacrament_n but_o only_o the_o application_n of_o the_o fruit_n and_o effect_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n so_o that_o in_o the_o supper_n jesus_n christ_n be_v not_o eftsoon_o sacrifice_v but_o the_o fruit_n of_o his_o obedience_n and_o of_o the_o merit_n of_o his_o sacrifice_n be_v there_o distribute_v and_o receive_v by_o the_o faithful_a by_o the_o reason_n aforesaid_a we_o conclude_v that_o it_o be_v a_o blasphemy_n and_o sacrilege_n to_o call_v the_o bread_n of_o the_o mass_n of_o a_o romish_a priest_n a_o host_n saluatorie_n and_o if_o to_o prove_v it_o the_o ancient_n be_v allege_v in_o who_o write_n it_o be_v find_v that_o sometime_o the_o supper_n be_v call_v oblation_n and_o sacrifice_n we_o answer_v that_o first_o that_o belong_v nothing_o to_o the_o mass_n of_o the_o priest_n between_o the_o which_o and_o the_o supper_n there_o be_v no_o affinity_n and_o then_o that_o which_o the_o ancient_n have_v say_v that_o they_o never_o understand_v it_o a_o sacrifice_n propitiatory_a by_o the_o which_o remission_n of_o sin_n be_v get_v and_o obtain_v neither_o have_v they_o believe_v or_o think_v that_o there_o be_v a_o other_o sacrifice_n to_o appease_v god_n wrath_n and_o purchase_v a_o reconcilement_n between_o he_o &_o man_n than_o the_o only_a sacrifice_n of_o jesus_n christ_n make_v by_o he_o only_o once_o upon_o the_o cross_n we_o say_v then_o in_o effect_n three_o thing_n first_o that_o there_o neither_o be_v nor_o can_v be_v other_o sacrificator_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n than_o jesus_n christ_n the_o reason_n be_v because_o there_o be_v none_o but_o he_o of_o who_o it_o have_v be_v say_v thou_o be_v priest_n eternal_o according_a to_o the_o order_n of_o melchisedeck_n also_o there_o be_v none_o but_o he_o to_o who_o may_v be_v apply_v the_o condition_n and_o essential_a quality_n of_o the_o sacrificator_n and_o of_o the_o sacrificature_fw-la which_o be_v that_o the_o sacrificator_n be_v holy_a innocent_a without_o spot_n separate_v from_o sinner_n exalt_v above_o the_o heaven_n who_o have_v not_o need_v every_o day_n to_o offer_v sacrifice_n first_o for_o his_o own_o sin_n and_o then_o for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o people_n also_o there_o be_v none_o but_o he_o which_o either_o be_v or_o may_v be_v mediator_n between_o god_n and_o man_n that_o be_v able_a to_o satisfy_v the_o divine_a justice_n capable_a to_o bear_v &_o endure_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n that_o can_v tame_v and_o overcome_v death_n that_o by_o his_o death_n and_o proper_a blood_n be_v able_a to_o procure_v the_o ratification_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n and_o who_o last_o be_v able_a in_o favour_n and_o contemplation_n of_o his_o merit_n and_o dignity_n to_o obtain_v of_o god_n the_o remission_n of_o sin_n with_o other_o grace_n which_o be_v necessary_a to_o such_o as_o seek_v he_o and_o trust_n in_o he_o second_o we_o say_v there_o be_v no_o other_o sacrifice_n for_o sin_n but_o that_o of_o jesus_n christ_n who_o be_v the_o only_a lamb_n that_o bear_v the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n that_o there_o be_v but_o his_o blood_n by_o the_o which_o our_o abomination_n be_v wash_v &_o make_v clean_o to_o be_v short_a that_o god_n take_v no_o pleasure_n in_o other_o sacrifice_n or_o oblation_n and_o that_o he_o require_v no_o other_o holocauste_n nor_o offer_v for_o sin_n and_o that_o for_o this_o reason_n jesus_n christ_n as_o be_v write_v of_o he_o in_o the_o roll_n of_o the_o law_n be_v come_v to_o do_v and_o accomplish_v the_o will_n of_o god_n his_o father_n three_o we_o say_v of_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o jesus_n christ_n that_o it_o be_v only_o and_o once_o offer_v by_o him●elfe_n without_o need_n ever_o after_o to_o repeat_v or_o reiterate_v it_o consider_v his_o perfection_n and_o virtue_n by_o the_o which_o sin_n be_v abolish_v and_o perfect_a and_o eternal_a
