they_o have_v yet_o a_o evasion_n when_o they_o call_v it_o a_o unbloodie_a sacrifice_n but_o the_o apostle_n without_o exception_n affirm_v that_o to_o make_v a_o sacrifice_n death_n be_v require_v moreover_o the_o papist_n have_v yet_o another_o shift_n when_o they_o reply_v that_o the_o mass_n be_v a_o apply_v of_o the_o only_a sacrifice_n once_o do_v but_o the_o apostle_n teach_v on_o the_o contrary_a that_o the_o cause_n why_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o law_n be_v abolish_v by_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n be_v because_o that_o in_o they_o man_n remember_v sin_n sacrilege_n four_o main_a reason_n prove_v the_o mass_n to_o be_v full_a of_o sacrilege_n whence_o it_o appear_v that_o this_o kind_n of_o apply_v which_o they_o have_v forge_v be_v cease_v in_o a_o word_n let_v the_o

one_o but_o also_o that_o it_o be_v but_o once_o do_v so_o as_o it_o be_v unlawful_a to_o reiterate_v the_o same_o in_o the_o mass_n although_o they_o buzz_v that_o it_o be_v the_o same_o sacrifice_n yet_o notwithstanding_o it_o appear_v that_o they_o do_v it_o every_o day_n and_o themselves_o confess_v it_o three_o the_o apostle_n allow_v no_o sacrifice_n without_o blood_n and_o death_n they_o babble_v in_o vain_a then_o that_o the_o sacrifice_n which_o they_o offer_v be_v unbloodie_a four_o when_o the_o question_n be_v of_o the_o obtain_n pardon_n for_o our_o offence_n the_o apostle_n command_v we_o to_o have_v our_o recourse_n to_o this_o only_a sacrifice_n which_o christ_n once_o offer_v upon_o the_o cross_n and_o discern_v we_o from_o the_o father_n by_o this_o mark_n that_o the_o manner_n of_o often_o sacrifice_a be_v abolish_v by_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n the_o papist_n to_o the_o end_n that_o christ_n his_o death_n may_v be_v fruitful_a and_o profitable_a unto_o we_o require_v daily_o applying_n which_o be_v do_v by_o sacrifice_n and_o thus_o jew_n and_o christian_n shall_v differ_v in_o nothing_o one_o from_o another_o but_o in_o the_o external_a sign_n 19_o

beside_o they_o bring_v much_o more_o light_n when_o the_o apostle_n transfer_v the_o old_a figure_n of_o the_o law_n to_o christ_n to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v know_v that_o all_o thing_n which_o be_v shadow_v in_o the_o law_n be_v now_o true_o manifest_v in_o he_o now_o as_o there_o be_v almost_o no_o word_n here_o that_o have_v not_o his_o weight_n so_o let_v we_o remember_v that_o there_o

the_o apostle_n meaning_n to_o recite_v the_o native_a exposition_n of_o the_o word_n for_o no_o inconvenience_n follow_v if_o we_o say_v that_o he_o allude_v to_o the_o word_n of_o david_n thereby_o to_o adorn_v the_o point_n which_o he_o handle_v as_o s._n paul_n in_o the_o ten_o to_o the_o roman_n allege_v the_o place_n of_o moses_n who_o shall_v ascend_v into_o heaven_n he_o add_v by_o and_o

say_v of_o the_o heaven_n and_o of_o the_o sea_n and_o such_o be_v the_o intention_n of_o david_n lord_n say_v he_o thou_o have_v advance_v man_n to_o such_o great_a dignity_n that_o he_o want_v not_o much_o of_o approach_v near_o to_o the_o honour_n of_o god_n or_o of_o the_o angel_n for_o thou_o have_v make_v he_o ruler_n over_o the_o whole_a world_n the_o apostle_n mean_v not_o to_o overthrow_v this_o sense_n neither_o yet_o to_o turn_v it_o to_o a_o contrary_n but_o his_o meaning_n be_v only_o that_o we_o shall_v behold_v in_o christ_n that_o abasement_n which_o he_o do_v undergo_v for_o a_o little_a time_n and_o afterward_o that_o glory_n wherewithal_o he_o be_v crown_v for_o ever_o which_o he_o do_v rather_o by_o way_n of_o allusion_n to_o the_o word_n than_o to_o express_v that_o which_o david_n mean_v by_o they_o he_o take_v to_o be_v mindful_a and_o to_o visit_v for_o one_o thing_n save_v that_o to_o visit_v have_v a_o more_o full_a signification_n for_o he_o note_v the_o presence_n of_o god_n by_o the_o effect_n now_o in_o that_o he_o have_v put_v all_o thing_n verse_n 8_o one_o will_v think_v that_o the_o argument_n shall_v be_v frame_v thus_o all_o thing_n be_v subject_a to_o the_o man_n of_o who_o david_n speak_v but_o all_o thing_n be_v not_o make_v subject_a to_o mankind_n therefore_o he_o speak_v not_o of_o every_o particular_a man_n but_o this_o argument_n will_v not_o hold_v because_o the_o second_o proposition_n which_o we_o call_v the_o minor_a do_v also_o agree_v unto_o christ_n for_o even_o to_o he_o all_o thing_n be_v not_o yet_o subject_a as_o s._n paul_n show_v 1._o cor._n 15.18_o therefore_o the_o word_n follow_v have_v another_o sense_n for_o after_o he_o have_v make_v christ_n to_o be_v the_o ruler_n over_o all_o creature_n without_o exception_n he_o add_v by_o way_n of_o a_o contrary_a objection_n but_o we_o see_v not_o yet_o all_o thing_n subject_a unto_o he_o and_o to_o satisfy_v we_o herein_o he_o teach_v that_o one_o may_v see_v that_o accomplish_v in_o christ_n notwithstanding_o even_o now_o which_o follow_v by_o and_o by_o after_o touch_v his_o crown_n with_o glory_n and_o honour_n as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v although_o this_o general_a subjection_n do_v not_o yet_o appear_v unto_o we_o let_v we_o notwithstanding_o content_v ourselves_o with_o this_o that_o after_o his_o death_n he_o be_v

offend_v that_o the_o apostle_n do_v over_o nice_o gather_v that_o all_o thing_n shall_v not_o as_o yet_o be_v subject_a unto_o christ_n because_o david_n mean_v to_o comprehend_v all_o thing_n

the_o bird_n of_o the_o air_n i_o answer_v that_o one_o general_a sentence_n be_v not_o to_o be_v restrain_v to_o these_o kind_n because_o david_n meaning_n be_v only_o to_o show_v some_o example_n of_o this_o lordship_n in_o those_o thing_n which_o do_v most_o ordinary_o present_v themselves_o before_o our_o eye_n or_o rather_o to_o the_o least_o thing_n that_o we_o may_v know_v nothing_o be_v we_o but_o by_o the_o bounty_n of_o god_n and_o by_o the_o participation_n of_o christ_n wherefore_o we_o may_v thus_o resolve_v this_o sentence_n thou_o have_v put_v all_o thing_n under_o he_o not_o only_o the_o thing_n which_o serve_v to_o eternal_a blessedness_n but_o also_o even_o those_o lesser_a thing_n which_o serve_v for_o the_o use_n and_o benefit_n of_o the_o body_n howsoever_o it_o be_v

all_o thing_n subject_a unto_o christ_n answer_n but_o we_o shall_v find_v a_o solution_n to_o this_o question_n in_o the_o place_n of_o paul_n before_o allege_v and_o we_o have_v also_o somewhat_o touch_v the_o same_o in_o the_o begin_n of_o this_o epistle_n christ_n have_v yet_o continual_a war_n with_o diverse_a enemy_n and_o therefore_o he_o be_v not_o yet_o in_o very_a deed_n in_o the_o

until_o the_o last_o day_n it_o be_v to_o the_o end_n we_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n may_v be_v daily_o try_v by_o such_o exercise_n jesus_n verse_n 9_o which_o be_v make_v a_o little_a inferior_a

the_o manner_n of_o this_o abasement_n he_o have_v more_o regard_n to_o the_o thing_n in_o itself_o such_o as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o person_n of_o christ_n than_o to_o the_o true_a and_o natural_a
