therein_o in_o high_a manner_n we_o acknowledge_v our_o creators_n most_o sovereign_a infinite_a majesty_n with_o the_o rest_n of_o his_o divine_a excellencye_n and_o yield_v he_o the_o honour_n and_o

thereby_o to_o give_v thanks_n unto_o god_n for_o his_o benefit_n do_v we_o it_o be_v apparent_a with_o what_o eminency_n thanks_n be_v give_v unto_o god_n by_o this_o our_o most_o holy_a sacrifice_n above_o all_o other_o that_o have_v be_v at_o any_o time_n offer_v in_o the_o world_n for_o in_o other_o sacrifice_n howsoever_o great_a and_o precious_a the_o oblation_n be_v yet_o man_n do_v not_o offer_v all_o that_o they_o have_v but_o only_o a_o small_a portion_n reserve_v the_o far_o great_a part_n for_o themselves_o as_o jacob_n say_v in_o his_o vow_n unto_o god_n i_o will_v offer_v thou_o the_o tithe_n or_o the_o ten_o part_n of_o all_o the_o thing_n that_o thou_o shall_v give_v i_o what_o great_a thing_n be_v it_o that_o a_o man_n unto_o he_o that_o give_v all_o return_v back_o again_o the_o ten_o part_n thereof_o by_o way_n of_o gratitude_n retain_v nine_o part_n for_o himself_o wherefore_o this_o kind_n of_o gratitude_n be_v more_o esteem_v by_o the_o inward_a affection_n of_o thanksgiving_n in_o token_n whereof_o the_o sacrifice_n be_v offer_v they_o by_o the_o value_n and_o sufficiency_n of_o the_o gift_n but_o in_o our_o most_o divine_a sacrifice_n we_o offer_v a_o thing_n of_o far_o great_a price_n they_o be_v all_o that_o which_o he_o have_v give_v we_o because_o we_o offer_v he_o his_o very_a son_n who_o also_o he_o give_v we_o that_o we_o may_v offer_v he_o and_o by_o this_o oblation_n repay_v whatsoever_o we_o owe_v he_o see_v he_o do_v no_o less_o discharge_v the_o debt_n that_o pay_v it_o by_o that_o which_o be_v free_o give_v he_o than_o he_o who_o pay_v it_o out_o of_o his_o own_o stock_n and_o if_o respect_v be_v have_v unto_o the_o inward_a affection_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o gratitude_n of_o all_o creature_n put_v together_o be_v less_o than_o the_o benefit_n they_o receive_v of_o god_n to_o supply_v which_o defect_n we_o offer_v the_o affection_n &_o the_o gratitude_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ._n for_o he_o know_v our_o insufficiency_n in_o this_o behalf_n himself_o give_v thanks_n unto_o his_o father_n for_o all_o the_o benefit_n do_v we_o &_o particular_o for_o the_o gracious_a gift_n of_o this_o most_o soveragne_a sacrament_n when_o he_o take_v the_o bread_n into_o his_o hand_n to_o consecrate_v the_o same_o he_o do_v as_o the_o evangelist_n write_v lift_v up_o his_o eye_n unto_o heaven_n &_o give_v thanks_n unto_o his_o father_n hereby_o prevent_v and_o by_o anticipation_n make_v recompense_n for_o the_o want_n and_o default_n of_o our_o gratitude_n and_o as_o often_o as_o we_o celebrate_v we_o repeat_v this_o action_n of_o our_o saviour_n &_o when_o we_o take_v the_o bread_n into_o our_o hand_n we_o say_v of_o he_o he_o take_v the_o bread_n lift_v up_o his_o eye_n unto_o heaven_n and_o give_v thanks_n as_o if_o we_o say_v unto_o the_o eternal_a father_n that_o if_o we_o be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o give_v he_o worthy_a thanks_n for_o this_o soveragne_a mystery_n that_o he_o remember_v his_o son_n our_o lord_n who_o render_v unto_o he_o most_o perfect_a thanks_n in_o the_o name_n of_o we_o all_o &_o that_o he_o receive_v these_o thanks_n of_o his_o son_n to_o supply_v the_o defect_n of_o we_o who_o for_o this_o reason_n offer_v he_o this_o sacrifice_n because_o it_o contain_v all_o that_o be_v due_a to_o he_o and_o for_o this_o cause_n it_o be_v call_v eucharist_n or_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o eucharist_n that_o be_v to_o say_v of_o thanksgiving_n that_o the_o mass_n be_v a_o most_o perfect_a sacrifice_n of_o propitiation_n for_o sin_n chap._n ix_o as_o concern_v the_o three_o title_n of_o satisfaction_n for_o sin_n the_o difference_n be_v perspicuous_a betwixt_o the_o ancient_a sacrifice_n and_o this_o because_o they_o be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o satisfy_v for_o one_o only_a sin_n as_o the_o apostle_n saint_n paul_n many_o time_n affirm_v special_o in_o his_o epistle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n where_o he_o say_v that_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o by_o the_o blood_n of_o bull_n or_o goat_n sin_n shall_v be_v abolish_v and_o in_o the_o same_o chapter_n he_o write_v to_o the_o same_o effect_n every_o priest_n be_v occupy_v in_o offer_v again_o &_o again_o the_o same_o victime_n or_o sacrifice_n but_o this_o priest_n christ_n jesus_n have_v offer_v one_o sacrifice_n sit_v for_o ever_o at_o the_o right-hand_a of_o god_n for_o this_o respect_n the_o same_o apostle_n call_v they_o many_o time_n weak_a sacrifice_n impotent_a and_o defectuous_a infirma_fw-la &_o egena_fw-la elementa_fw-la and_o not_o only_o this_o be_v so_o but_o also_o all_o creature_n put_v together_o be_v not_o able_a of_o themselves_o to_o satisfy_v for_o one_o only_a sin_n whereas_o our_o great_a highpriest_n christ_n jesus_n by_o one_o only_a sacrifice_n satisfy_v for_o all_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n and_o of_o a_o thousand_o world_n be_v there_o so_o many_o &_o this_o satisfaction_n be_v not_o only_o sufficient_a but_o also_o abundant_a not_o only_o equivalent_a and_o equal_a but_o also_o obtay_v pardon_n even_o in_o rigour_n of_o justice_n as_o be_v the_o most_o common_a true_a doctrine_n of_o the_o theologer_n for_o as_o s._n paul_n say_v una_fw-la oblatione_fw-la consummavit_fw-la in_o aeternum_fw-la sanctificatos_fw-la by_o one_o oblation_n he_o consummate_v for_o ever_o the_o sanctification_n of_o man_n which_o most_o sufficient_a &_o superabundant_a satisfaction_n he_o apply_v efficacious_o unto_o we_o as_o often_o as_o we_o do_v offer_v the_o most_o holy_a sacrifice_n of_o the_o mass_n this_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o the_o most_o holy_a council_n of_o trent_n define_v that_o this_o sacrifice_n be_v true_o propitiatory_a because_o god_n by_o this_o oblation_n appease_v by_o grant_v the_o grace_n and_o gift_n of_o penance_n pardon_v main_n and_o heinous_a crime_n hence_o it_o be_v that_o a_o most_o grave_a &_o devout_a author_n affirm_v that_o a_o man_n have_v commit_v many_o &_o most_o grievous_a sin_n by_o one_o only_a mass_n which_o he_o shall_v say_v with_o the_o convenient_a disposition_n if_o there_o be_v no_o default_n on_o his_o part_n may_v be_v as_o perfect_o free_v from_o they_o all_o by_o virtue_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n as_o he_o be_v before_o he_o sin_v so_o that_o he_o may_v straight_o enter_v into_o heaven_n without_o any_o impediment_n and_o herein_o he_o utter_v a_o most_o certain_a truth_n because_o the_o virtue_n and_o efficacy_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n as_o for_o within_o itself_o have_v no_o limitation_n nor_o any_o measure_n but_o that_o which_o the_o meanness_n of_o man_n disposition_n give_v unto_o it_o wherefore_o the_o holy_a council_n of_o trent_n say_v absolute_o and_o without_o restraint_n that_o by_o the_o virtue_n of_o this_o divine_a sacrifice_n all_o our_o sin_n be_v pardon_v how_o heinous_a soever_o in_o the_o form_n of_o consecration_n christ_n likewise_o say_v and_o we_o repeat_v the_o same_o daily_a in_o his_o name_n that_o this_o be_v the_o blood_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n which_o be_v shed_v and_o offer_v for_o the_o remission_n &_o pardon_n of_o sin_n and_o pope_n julius_n omne_fw-la as_o gratian_n relate_v say_v omne_fw-la crimen_fw-la atque_fw-la peccatum_fw-la oblatis_fw-la deo_fw-la sacrificijs_fw-la deletur_fw-la that_o every_o sin_n and_o crime_n be_v cancel_v by_o the_o oblation_n of_o sacrifice_n unto_o god_n ●_o s._n gregory_n in_o his_o dialogue_n write_v in_o this_o manner_n this_o victim_n do_v singular_o save_o the_o soul_n from_o eternal_a destruction_n which_o mystical_o represent_v unto_o we_o the_o death_n of_o god_n only_o beget_v son_n and_o in_o another_o place_n the_o same_o holy_a doctor_n report_v of_o a_o man_n that_o be_v captive_a in_o the_o hand_n of_o his_o enemy_n load_v with_o fetter_n &_o iron_n who_o wife_n hear_v no_o news_n of_o he_o and_o therefore_o believe_v he_o to_o be_v depart_v this_o life_n cause_v every_o week_n upon_o a_o certain_a day_n mass_n to_o be_v say_v for_o he_o and_o as_o often_o as_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o mass_n be_v offer_v on_o that_o day_n the_o fetter_n and_o iron_n fall_v off_o from_o he_o and_o he_o remain_v free_a for_o they_o to_o his_o great_a admiration_n he_o not_o know_v the_o cause_n of_o so_o great_a a_o wonder_n until_o return_v into_o his_o country_n and_o relate_v

this_o strange_a thing_n he_o find_v by_o confer_v together_o the_o day_n and_o hour_n that_o it_o be_v the_o very_a time_n that_o mass_n be_v say_v for_o he_o hence_o the_o holy_a doctor_n infer_v what_o great_a force_n and_o efficacy_n be_v in_o this_o most_o divine_a sacrifice_n to_o release_v man_n from_o the_o spiritual_a fetter_n of_o sin_n wherein_o be_v so_o great_a strength_n to_o undo_v and_o break_v the_o chain_n of_o the_o body_n the_o ancient_a form_n of_o mass_n deliver_v the_o same_o truth_n that_o of_o s._n james_n speak_v with_o god_n thus_o pray_v that_o the_o sin_n we_o have_v commit_v may_v be_v abolish_v that_o thou_o o_o lord_n be_v propitious_a and_o merciful_a unto_o thy_o people_n that_o by_o the_o oblation_n of_o this_o gracious_a &_o divine_a sacrifice_n we_o may_v be_v hold_v worthy_a of_o eternal_a life_n the_o mass_n of_o s._n basil_n say_v let_v this_o sacrifice_n be_v acceptable_a for_o our_o sin_n &_o for_o the_o ignorances_n of_o the_o people_n s._n chrysostom_n make_v we_o worthy_a to_o offer_v the_o gift_n and_o this_o special_a sacrifice_n for_o our_o sin_n &_o grant_v that_o we_o may_v find_v favour_n in_o thy_o sight_n and_o now_o in_o the_o canon_n of_o the_o mass_n we_o say_v that_o we_o offer_v this_o sacrifice_n for_o the_o redemption_n of_o our_o soul_n that_o the_o mass_n be_v a_o most_o efficacious_a sacrifice_n to_o obtain_v whatsoever_o we_o demand_v chap._n x._o as_o concern_v the_o four_o title_n and_o reason_n of_o offer_v sacrifice_n to_o the_o end_n to_o obtain_v of_o god_n that_o which_o we_o demand_v it_o be_v clear_a that_o our_o sacrifice_n do_v far_o excel_v all_o other_o for_o if_o the_o offering_n unto_o god_n of_o a_o lamb_n or_o kidd_v or_o some_o other_o bruit_n creature_n be_v so_o efficacious_a a_o mean_n to_o obtain_v the_o thing_n desire_v and_o therefore_o such_o kind_n of_o sacrifice_n be_v ordinary_o offer_v how_o much_o great_a efficacy_n be_v there_o in_o the_o offering_n unto_o he_o his_o very_a son_n with_o the_o whole_a treasure_n of_o his_o merit_n without_o doubt_v this_o be_v great_a beyond_o comparison_n if_o god_n make_v such_o promise_n unto_o abraham_n confirm_v by_o oath_n to_o do_v favour_n unto_o he_o and_o to_o all_o his_o posterity_n only_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o will_v he_o have_v to_o sacrifice_v his_o son_n what_o benefit_n and_o grace_n will_v he_o bestow_v on_o they_o that_o offer_v and_o sacrifice_n unto_o he_o real_o &_o true_o his_o only_a beget_v son_n what_o favour_n will_v he_o not_o grant_v what_o can_v one_o ask_v with_o such_o a_o present_a that_o he_o will_v not_o give_v with_o reason_n we_o may_v here_o use_v the_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n saint_n paul_n he_o that_o spare_v not_o his_o only_a son_n but_o give_v he_o for_o we_o all_o how_o can_v it_o be_v that_o he_o have_v not_o give_v we_o all_o together_o with_o he_o or_o how_o can_v he_o deny_v we_o any_o thing_n that_o we_o can_v ask_v if_o the_o law_n both_o human_a and_o divine_a so_o strict_o prohibit_v unto_o judge_n and_o prince_n who_o office_n be_v to_o govern_v the_o affair_n of_o the_o commonwealth_n &_o to_o pronounce_v sentence_n in_o case_n of_o difference_n to_o receive_v gift_n or_o present_n because_o receive_v they_o they_o remain_v even_o in_o nature_n oblige_v to_o requite_v they_o and_o to_o gratify_v such_o as_o give_v they_o so_o that_o it_o seem_v impossible_a that_o they_o shall_v not_o favour_v they_o why_o may_v we_o not_o presume_v that_o god_n be_v in_o a_o certain_a manner_n bind_v to_o do_v we_o favour_n have_v receive_v of_o we_o a_o gift_n so_o great_a and_o precious_a as_o we_o offer_v he_o in_o the_o mass_n and_o if_o the_o proverb_n that_o gift_n break_v rock_n be_v true_a as_o experience_n show_v it_o be_v there_o be_v no_o hart_n so_o hard_o which_o present_n do_v not_o make_v relent_n &_o yield_v unto_o the_o giver_n how_o can_v we_o think_v that_o god_n have_v a_o hart_n not_o of_o stone_n nor_o

pious_a consideration_n of_o a_o grave_n and_o learned_a divine_a of_o our_o age_n most_o true_a &_o conformable_a both_o unto_o theology_n &_o holy_a scripture_n this_o be_v that_o christ_n our_o

be_v our_o solicitor_n and_o as_o s._n john_n say_v 2._o we_o have_v a_o advocate_n unto_o god_n the_o father_n christ_n jesus_n the_o iust._n hereupon_o this_o learned_a author_n say_v that_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n very_o credible_a &_o likely_a that_o christ_n our_o lord_n as_o often_o as_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o mass_n be_v offer_v do_v intercede_v and_o pray_v for_o they_o that_o offer_v it_o and_o also_o for_o they_o for_o who_o it_o be_v offer_v a_o consideration_n most_o true_a for_o see_v it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o christ_n our_o lord_n do_v actual_o and_o in_o truth_n exercise_v the_o office_n of_o our_o priest_n and_o advocate_n see_v also_o that_o the_o proper_a office_n of_o priest_n be_v to_o pray_v &_o intercede_v for_o the_o people_n we_o may_v rest_v in_o this_o persuasion_n without_o any_o doubt_n that_o our_o lord_n be_v in_o all_o his_o action_n most_o perfect_a will_v complet_o perform_v this_o office_n not_o only_o by_o offer_v the_o sacrifice_n particular_o for_o they_o for_o who_o it_o be_v offer_v whereof_o there_o be_v no_o question_n but_o also_o by_o pray_v &_o intercede_v actual_o for_o they_o that_o they_o may_v obtain_v what_o they_o request_v and_o desire_n if_o the_o same_o agree_v with_o their_o salvation_n and_o god_n glory_n and_o it_o may_v seem_v that_o the_o apostle_n s_o paul_n in_o his_o epistle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n do_v signify_v or_o insinuate_v this_o truth_n where_o treat_v of_o the_o eternal_a priesthood_n of_o christ_n he_o say_v that_o he_o can_v save_v for_o ever_o they_o that_o by_o he_o have_v access_n unto_o god_n who_o live_v ever_o to_o intercede_v and_o plead_v for_o we_o and_o thereupon_o he_o straight_o add_v it_o be_v convenient_a that_o we_o shall_v have_v such_o a_o highpriest_n 7._o where_o he_o seem_v to_o conjoin_v pray_v and_o intercede_v for_o we_o with_o the_o office_n of_o priesthood_n signify_v that_o to_o discharge_v that_o duty_n perfect_o it_o be_v

no_o way_n inconvenient_a in_o christ_n but_o very_o agree_v with_o reason_n as_o the_o venerable_a father_n dionysius_n carthusianus_n note_n in_o his_o declaration_n of_o this_o speech_n of_o the_o apostle_n qui_fw-la etiam_fw-la interpellat_n pro_fw-la nobis_fw-la which_o also_o be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o that_o great_a saint_n laurence_n patriarch_n who_o wryte_n thus_o in_o a_o certain_a

eternal_a punishment_n by_o his_o intercession_n this_o be_v so_o as_o i_o do_v firm_o believe_v it_o be_v what_o a_o sovereign_a and_o excellent_a thing_n and_o full_a of_o reverence_n and_o veneration_n be_v the_o holy_a sacrifice_n of_o the_o mass_n if_o we_o do_v high_o esteem_v that_o some_o saint_n in_o heaven_n pray_v particular_o &_o actual_o for_o we_o or_o some_o person_n live_v upon_o earth_n who_o we_o know_v to_o be_v virtuous_a &_o in_o singular_a favour_n with_o god_n how_o much_o more_o ought_v we_o to_o prize_v the_o only_a son_n of_o god_n his_o pray_n and_o

from_o the_o give_v of_o sin_n by_o the_o mediation_n and_o ministry_n of_o the_o priest_n &_o of_o that_o sacramental_a action_n this_o be_v yet_o more_o proper_o &_o singular_o true_a in_o the_o most_o sacred_a mystery_n of_o the_o eucharist_n christ_n be_v he_o that_o work_v that_o wonderful_a transubstantiation_n and_o conversion_n of_o bread_n into_o his_o body_n and_o of_o wine_n into_o

the_o priest_n say_v in_o the_o canon_n he_o take_v bread_n into_o his_o sacred_a &_o venerable_a hand_n himself_o take_v the_o bread_n into_o his_o own_o sinful_a hand_n and_o though_o he_o say_v this_o be_v my_o body_n &_o this_o be_v my_o blood_n yet_o the_o conversion_n be_v not_o make_v into_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o the_o priest_n but_o into_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o our_o

be_v christ_n in_o the_o psalm_n term_v priest_n for_o ever_o according_a to_o the_o order_n of_o melchisedech_n 4._o for_o he_o shall_v not_o be_v term_v perpetual_a priest_n according_a to_o the_o order_n of_o melchisedech_n if_o he_o offer_v the_o sacrifice_n but_o only_o once_o but_o he_o be_v perpetual_a priest_n because_o he_o still_o offer_v the_o sacrifice_n by_o the_o ministry_n of_o priest_n and_o never_o cease_v to_o offer_v and_o shall_v not_o cease_v to_o offer_v unto_o the_o world_n end_n yea_o to_o speak_v more_o proper_o he_o only_o be_v the_o sole_a &_o principal_a priest_n for_o though_o we_o be_v term_v and_o be_v very_o priest_n yet_o we_o be_v so_o only_o as_o his_o instrument_n and_o deputy_n not_o his_o successor_n in_o priesthood_n but_o his_o substitute_n who_o offer_v in_o his_o name_n sacrifice_n yet_o the_o principal_a offerent_fw-la be_v only_a himself_o hence_o we_o may_v understand_v that_o difficile_a passage_n of_o s._n paul_n to_o the_o hebrew_n where_o he_o say_v that_o in_o the_o old_a law_n it_o be_v need_v there_o shall_v be_v many_o priest_n because_o they_o be_v mortal_a man_n and_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n that_o one_o shall_v succeed_v another_o that_o so_o priesthood_n may_v be_v continue_v but_o in_o the_o new_a law_n we_o have_v a_o eternal_a priest_n which_o live_v and_o continue_v for_o ever_o and_o so_o there_o be_v no_o necessity_n there_o shall_v be_v more_o than_o one_o as_o in_o very_a truth_n there_o be_v no_o more_o but_o only_o one_o that_o as_o principal_a cause_n and_o in_o his_o own_o name_n consecrate_v the_o mystery_n and_o offer_v the_o divine_a sacrifice_n and_o according_a to_o this_o the_o difference_n be_v that_o in_o the_o old_a law_n the_o child_n succeed_v in_o the_o priesthood_n unto_o their_o father_n not_o as_o their_o deputy_n or_o minister_n but_o as_o their_o successor_n in_o the_o sacerdotal_a office_n exercise_v the_o same_o with_o the_o selfsame_a authority_n as_o their_o predecessor_n but_o in_o the_o evangelicall_a christ_n only_o be_v the_o prinlicall_a priest_n who_o still_o actual_o offer_v sacrifice_v where_o &_o when_o he_o will_v have_v the_o same_o offer_v other_o priest_n though_o they_o have_v the_o name_n &_o office_n of_o priest_n yet_o they_o be_v not_o successor_n of_o christ_n nor_o do_v offer_n in_o their_o own_o name_n nor_o by_o that_o authority_n as_o he_o do_v use_v but_o as_o his_o instrument_n and_o minister_n for_o this_o reason_n the_o council_n of_o trent_n affirm_v in_o the_o prealledged_a place_n that_o though_o the_o priest_n be_v naught_o and_o a_o sinner_n this_o can_v not_o destroy_v nor_o diminish_v the_o value_n and_o efficacy_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n for_o this_o depend_v of_o and_o be_v answerable_a unto_o the_o worthiness_n of_o the_o principal_a offerent_fw-la and_o not_o of_o the_o instrument_n as_o be_v make_v clear_a by_o this_o example_n if_o a_o prince_n give_v a_o great_a alm_n and_o send_v it_o by_o the_o hand_n of_o his_o servant_n though_o the_o servant_n be_v naught_o and_o a_o sinner_n and_o give_v it_o with_o a_o ill_a will_n yet_o the_o alm_n thereby_o lose_v nothing_o of_o his_o goodness_n and_o merit_n because_o this_o depend_v of_o the_o will_n and_o virtue_n of_o he_o that_o be_v the_o principal_a giver_n thereof_o though_o he_o use_v another_o hand_n in_o this_o sort_n we_o how_o wicked_a soever_o we_o be_v can_v hinder_v or_o impair_v the_o virtue_n of_o the_o sacrament_n because_o we_o be_v no_o more_o they_o minister_n and_o instrument_n celebrate_v in_o the_o person_n of_o christ_n jesus_n our_o lord_n hence_o it_o follow_v that_o it_o be_v a_o great_a honour_n and_o privilege_n of_o the_o sacred_a mystery_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n that_o such_o a_o priest_n &_o bishop_n do_v consecrate_v &_o perform_v they_o this_o s._n paul_n ponder_v when_o he_o say_v it_o be_v decent_a that_o we_o shall_v have_v such_o a_o priest_n holy_a innocent_a unspotted_a sever_v from_o sinner_n and_o high_a than_o the_o heaven_n for_o the_o law_n appoint_v priest_n subject_a to_o infirmity_n but_o the_o word_n of_o the_o father_n appoint_v the_o son_n for_o ever_o perfect_a oh_o let_v all_o creature_n bless_v our_o god_n for_o ever_o that_o will_v honour_v and_o grace_v we_o by_o give_v we_o for_o our_o priest_n and_o bishop_n

of_o the_o priest_n who_o be_v his_o instrument_n &_o vicegerent_n hence_o also_o proceed_v that_o the_o representation_n of_o the_o mystery_n of_o the_o life_n &_o death_n of_o our_o saviour_n make_v
