use_v by_o the_o apostle_n in_o reference_n to_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o a_o man_n body_n as_o of_o the_o mass_n for_o it_o be_v confess_v that_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d be_v a_o oblation_n make_v to_o god_n only_o wherein_o some_o sensible_a substance_n be_v by_o mystical_a rite_n consecrate_v and_o so_o change_v or_o in_o reference_n to_o what_o it_o be_v before_o destroy_v according_o the_o apostle_n advise_v we_o to_o present_v our_o body_n a_o live_a sacrifice_n unto_o god_n and_o in_o the_o next_o verse_n be_v not_o conform_v to_o this_o world_n where_o by_o our_o renounce_v the_o world_n we_o consecrate_v our_o body_n to_o god_n service_n and_o so_o as_o the_o apostle_n far_o exhort_v we_o we_o be_v transform_v or_o change_v by_o the_o renew_n of_o our_o mind_n and_o our_o body_n in_o reference_n to_o what_o they_o be_v before_o corrupt_v and_o pollute_v by_o sin_n be_v destroy_v 4._o so_o then_o the_o apostle_n here_o make_v use_v of_o a_o metaphor_n to_o express_v a_o reasonable_a duty_n as_o a_o sacrifice_n be_v lay_v on_o the_o altar_n kill_v and_o cut_v in_o piece_n so_o we_o must_v die_v to_o sin_n and_o mortify_v our_o member_n which_o be_v upon_o the_o earth_n cut_v off_o all_o affection_n to_o this_o world_n keep_v our_o body_n under_o and_o bring_v they_o into_o subjection_n to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o so_o be_v transform_v from_o what_o we_o be_v before_o servant_n and_o sacrifice_n to_o sin_n we_o become_v holy_a sacrifice_n and_o acceptable_a to_o god._n whence_o 5._o let_v we_o inquire_v what_o be_v the_o proper_a

under_o the_o law_n when_o the_o morning_n and_o evening_n sacrifice_n be_v so_o absolute_o necessary_a but_o what_o have_v we_o from_o those_o that_o be_v under_o the_o gospel_n our_o bless_a

full_a have_v receive_v of_o epaphroditus_n the_o thing_n which_o be_v send_v from_o you_o a_o odour_n of_o a_o sweet_a smell_n a_o sacrifice_n acceptable_a well-pleasing_a to_o god._n from_o all_o which_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o christian_n be_v mercy_n alms-deed_n prayer_n praise_n contrition_n and_o all_o christian_a duty_n and_o these_o be_v the_o sacrifice_n which_o be_v to_o be_v offer_v up_o to_o god_n by_o every_o live_a christian_n for_o himself_o but_o i_o can_v find_v no_o such_o sacrifice_n as_o the_o mass_n nor_o indeed_o any_o other_o than_o those_o abovementioned_a for_o christ_n jesus_n be_v the_o sacrifice_n for_o all_o christian_n in_o general_a and_o these_o be_v sacrifice_n which_o every_o christian_a must_v offer_v to_o god_n for_o himself_o in_o particular_a and_o thus_o i_o have_v brief_o give_v my_o opinion_n of_o the_o mass_n which_o amount_v to_o this_o in_o the_o general_n that_o christ_n be_v our_o sacrifice_n and_o propitiation_n we_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o think_v of_o any_o other_o and_o he_o have_v offer_v himself_o once_o to_o god_n for_o all_o

there_o can_v be_v no_o other_o offering_n needful_a but_o such_o as_o every_o man_n must_v offer_v for_o himself_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o righteousness_n and_o as_o the_o mass_n be_v not_o a_o sacrifice_n for_o the_o live_n neither_o can_v it_o be_v suppose_v a_o sacrifice_n for_o the_o dead_a if_o christ_n jesus_n have_v make_v satisfaction_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o all_o that_o be_v call_v by_o his_o name_n and_o if_o that_o satisfaction_n be_v certain_o apply_v to_o all_o who_o be_v true_a christian_n and_o die_v in_o the_o faith_n of_o christ_n crucify_a and_o if_o this_o be_v make_v the_o absolute_o necessary_a condition_n of_o have_v a_o title_n to_o that_o satisfaction_n i_o can_v see_v no_o ground_n wicked_a man_n have_v to_o hope_v for_o pardon_n if_o they_o forfeit_v that_o the_o scripture_n be_v altogether_o silent_a as_o to_o any_o thing_n that_o can_v be_v do_v for_o we_o after_o death_n to_o which_o purpose_n i_o will_v give_v you_o the_o trouble_n of_o the_o follow_a instance_n 1._o holy_a david_n when_o god_n strike_v the_o child_n he_o have_v by_o bathsheba_n pray_v for_o its_o recovery_n and_o fast_v and_o lie_v all_o night_n upon_o the_o earth_n his_o sorrow_n for_o the_o child_n sickness_n be_v intolerable_a but_o when_o the_o child_n be_v dead_a he_o arise_v from_o the_o earth_n and_o wash_v and_o anoint_v himself_o and_o change_v his_o apparel_n and_o come_v into_o the_o house_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o worship_v then_o he_o come_v to_o his_o own_o house_n and_o have_v bread_n set_v before_o he_o he_o do_v eat_v then_o say_v his_o servant_n to_o he_o what_o thing_n be_v this_o that_o thou_o have_v do_v thou_o do_v fast_v and_o weep_v for_o the_o child_n while_o it_o be_v alive_a but_o when_o the_o child_n be_v dead_a thou_o do_v arise_v and_o eat_v bread._n and_o he_o say_v while_o the_o child_n be_v yet_o alive_a i_o fast_v and_o weep_v for_o i_o say_v who_o can_v tell_v whether_o god_n will_v be_v gracious_a unto_o i_o that_o the_o child_n may_v live_v 2_o sam._n 12._o 22._o we_o read_v nothing_o here_o of_o any_o sacrifice_n offer_v for_o the_o child_n which_o certain_o will_v have_v be_v record_v if_o such_o a_o thing_n have_v be_v do_v but_o he_o do_v not_o so_o much_o as_o pray_v for_o he_o or_o weep_v after_o his_o death_n for_o 2._o no_o man_n can_v by_o any_o mean_n redeem_v his_o brother_n or_o give_v to_o god_n a_o ransom_n for_o he_o psal_n 49._o 7._o i_o think_v this_o be_v plain_a enough_o against_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v pretend_v to_o be_v do_v for_o the_o benefit_n of_o the_o dead_a and_o if_o no_o ransom_n can_v deem_v a_o man_n from_o the_o state_n he_o immediate_o pass_v into_o out_o of_o this_o world_n what_o signify_v the_o many_o mass_n that_o be_v send_v up_o daily_o for_o one_o or_o other_o in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n i_o think_v it_o will_v not_o be_v impertinent_a to_o add_v that_o of_o our_o saviour_n what_o shall_v it_o profit_v a_o man_n if_o he_o shall_v gain_v the_o whole_a world_n and_o lose_v his_o own_o soul_n or_o what_o shall_v a_o man_n give_v in_o exchange_n for_o his_o soul_n mark_v 8._o 36._o which_o show_v the_o impossibility_n of_o redemption_n from_o a_o state_n after_o this_o life_n and_o this_o be_v far_a evident_a in_o luke_n 16._o in_o the_o discourse_n between_o abraham_n and_o dives_n where_o abraham_n tell_v he_o verse_n 26._o that_o between_o they_o there_o be_v a_o great_a gulf_n fix_v so_o that_o they_o which_o will_v pass_v from_o one_o to_o tother_o can_v not_o and_o then_o i_o will_v fain_o know_v how_o they_o can_v say_v that_o any_o can_v be_v fetch_v out_o of_o purgatory_n as_o hell_n be_v more_o mild_o call_v to_o heaven_n but_o 3._o the_o apostle_n tell_v the_o thessalonian_o 1_o thes_n 4._o 13._o that_o he_o will_v not_o have_v they_o to_o be_v ignorant_a concern_v they_o which_o be_v asleep_a nor_o to_o sorrow_n as_o other_o which_o have_v no_o hope_n for_o if_o we_o believe_v that_o jesus_n die_v and_z rise_v again_o even_o so_o they_o also_o which_o sleep_n in_o jesus_n will_v god_n bring_v with_o he_o the_o apostle_n and_o the_o primitive_a christian_n have_v their_o hope_n in_o the_o

all_o upon_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n blood_n the_o full_a satisfaction_n which_o he_o have_v make_v and_o on_o that_o score_n make_v it_o their_o constant_a endeavour_n to_o become_v worthy_a partaker_n of_o it_o the_o scripture_n make_v no_o mention_n of_o offertory_n for_o the_o dead_a but_o in_o many_o place_n they_o argue_v clear_v the_o contrary_n that_o there_o be_v no_o time_n or_o

for_o who_o he_o can_v be_v entreat_v upon_o the_o whole_a therefore_o we_o may_v true_o say_v with_o the_o preacher_n eccl._n 9_o 4._o to_o he_o that_o be_v join_v to_o all_o the_o live_n there_o
