by_o faith_n present_a upon_o this_o holy_a table_n together_o with_o these_o sign_n of_o death_n we_o unite_v ourselves_o to_o he_o in_o this_o estate_n we_o present_v he_o to_o god_n as_o our_o

pretend_v not_o by_o this_o oblation_n to_o make_v or_o present_v to_o god_n a_o new_a payment_n of_o the_o price_n of_o our_o salvation_n but_o to_o offer_v up_o to_o he_o in_o our_o behalf_n the_o

the_o cross_n but_o because_o the_o best_a way_n to_o prove_v that_o two_o doctrine_n be_v not_o opposite_a to_o one_o another_o be_v to_o show_v by_o explicate_v they_o that_o no_o proposition_n of_o

the_o apostle_n intend_v in_o this_o epistle_n to_o teach_v we_o that_o a_o sinnner_n can_v not_o avoid_v death_n but_o by_o substitute_v some_o one_o in_o his_o place_n to_o die_v for_o he_o that_o whilst_o man_n substitute_v only_o beast_n to_o be_v kill_v in_o their_o place_n their_o sacrifice_n operated_a nothing_o but_o a_o public_a acknowledgement_n of_o their_o have_v deserve_v death_n and_o that_o see_v the_o divine_a justice_n can_v not_o be_v satisfy_v by_o so_o unequal_a a_o exchange_n they_o begin_v again_o every_o day_n to_o slay_v new_a victim_n which_o be_v a_o certain_a mark_n of_o the_o insufficiency_n of_o that_o substitution_n but_o that_o since_o jesus_n christ_n have_v vouchsafe_v to_o die_v for_o sinner_n god_n be_v satisfy_v by_o a_o person_n substitute_v of_o himself_o so_o condign_o sufficient_a and_o nothing_o more_o to_o exact_v for_o the_o price_n of_o our_o redemption_n from_o whence_o the_o apostle_n conclude_v we_o ought_v not_o only_o to_o offer_v up_o no_o more_o victim_n after_o jesus_n christ_n but_o that_o jesus_n christ_n himself_o ought_v to_o be_v but_o once_o offer_v up_o to_o death_n for_o we_o let_v the_o reader_n then_o who_o be_v solicitous_a for_o his_o soul_n salvation_n and_o a_o lover_n of_o truth_n reflect_v a_o little_a upon_o what_o we_o have_v say_v concern_v the_o manner_n how_o jesus_n christ_n offer_v up_o himself_o to_o god_n for_o we_o in_o the_o eucharist_n i_o be_o certain_a he_o will_v not_o find_v any_o proposition_n contrary_a to_o those_o which_o i_o have_v here_o relate_v from_o the_o apostle_n or_o which_o weaken_v his_o argument_n so_o that_o nothing_o can_v be_v object_v to_o we_o but_o his_o silence_n upon_o this_o point_n but_o those_o who_o will_v but_o consider_v the_o wise_a distribution_n which_o god_n make_v of_o his_o secret_n in_o the_o several_a book_n of_o scripture_n will_v not_o oblige_v we_o to_o receive_v from_o the_o sole_a epistle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n all_o our_o instruction_n concern_v a_o matter_n which_o be_v not_o necessary_a to_o the_o subject_a of_o that_o epistle_n see_v the_o apostle_n intend_v to_o explicate_v in_o it_o the_o perfection_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o cross_n and_o not_o the_o different_a manner_n which_o god_n have_v institute_v to_o apply_v it_o to_o we_o and_o to_o remove_v all_o equivocation_n if_o we_o take_v the_o word_n offer_v in_o the_o sense_n it_o be_v make_v use_n of_o in_o this_o epistle_n as_o imply_v the_o actual_a death_n of_o the_o victim_n we_o will_v public_o confess_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v now_o no_o more_o offer_v up_o neither_o in_o the_o eucharist_n nor_o any_o where_o else_o but_o because_o this_o word_n have_v a_o large_a signification_n in_o other_o place_n of_o scripture_n where_o it_o be_v often_o say_v we_o offer_v up_o to_o god_n what_o we_o present_v before_o he_o the_o church_n which_o form_v her_o language_n and_o her_o doctrine_n not_o from_o the_o sole_a
