pretend_v indeed_o that_o it_o be_v clear_a in_o the_o tradition_n of_o the_o father_n but_o for_o the_o father_n that_o receive_v the_o scripture_n from_o the_o apostle_n it_o be_v evident_a doctrine_n that_o they_o can_v not_o find_v any_o such_o thing_n in_o it_o nor_o can_v any_o of_o they_o sacrifice_n that_o live_v in_o the_o first_o six_o hundred_o year_n nay_o they_o be_v to_o seek_v for_o it_o that_o live_v above_o a_o thousand_o year_n after_o the_o apostle_n time_n propitiatory_a some_o indeed_o of_o the_o ancient_n have_v speak_v of_o a_o unbloody_a sacrifice_n 45._o and_o that_o offer_v by_o every_o layman_n christian_a as_o well_o without_o the_o sacrament_n as_o with_o it_o but_o as_o they_o always_o deny_v any_o more_o bloody_a sacrifice_n so_o little_o do_v they_o think_v of_o a_o unbloody_a to_o take_v away_o sin_n and_o that_o such_o as_o none_o can_v offer_v but_o the_o priest_n how_o much_o less_o that_o chirst_n himself_o must_v be_v that_o sacrifice_n nay_o must_v come_v from_o heaven_n both_o to_o offer_v and_o to_o be_v offer_v and_o that_o upon_o such_o pitiful_a small_a or_o needless_a occasion_n the_o most_o common_a pretence_n not_o to_o mention_v any_o missal_n worse_a be_v to_o fetch_v a_o soul_n out_o of_o purgatory_n which_o the_o priest_n be_v to_o do_v for_o a_o small_a piece_n of_o silver_n but_o they_o have_v other_o device_n to_o do_v the_o same_o thing_n therefore_o why_o must_v christ_n come_v from_o heaven_n to_o earn_v this_o money_n and_o be_v send_v on_o these_o errand_n ten_o thousand_o time_n a_o day_n and_o every_o time_n suffer_v as_o much_o it_o as_o it_o cost_v he_o to_o redeem_v all_o mankind_n this_o horrible_a mystery_n unknown_a to_o former_a age_n be_v keep_v for_o time_n worthy_a

there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n in_o the_o apostle_n time_n for_o a_o apostle_n by_o mistake_n be_v like_a to_o have_v use_v it_o c._n but_o be_v forbid_v by_o the_o angel_n to_o who_o he_o offer_v

sufficient_o show_v that_o it_o can_v be_v no_o part_n of_o the_o apostle_n prayer_n for_o prayer_n to_o saint_n as_o the_o apostle_n have_v leave_v no_o example_n so_o they_o can_v have_v none_o

be_v apt_a to_o run_v into_o this_o superstition_n they_o be_v still_o for_o a_o religion_n that_o will_v affect_v the_o sense_n and_o they_o find_v matter_n for_o it_o at_o the_o memory_n of_o the_o

be_v doubtful_a there_o the_o prayer_n be_v in_o ambiguous_a church_n term_n but_o they_o be_v plain_a enough_o in_o that_o which_o be_v of_o faith_n that_o be_v where_o they_o pray_v one_o as_o we_o do_v for_o a_o bless_a resurrection_n but_o because_o that_o be_v assure_v to_o all_o that_o die_v in_o christ_n whether_o in_o a_o perfect_a or_o imperfect_a estate_n and_o man_n will_v not_o buy_v prayer_n for_o that_o which_o will_v come_v without_o ask_v therefore_o to_o get_v their_o money_n there_o be_v no_o better_a way_n than_o to_o persuade_v they_o that_o their_o friend_n may_v be_v

but_o as_o bad_a as_o time_n be_v in_o that_o darkness_n of_o popery_n some_o will_v have_v declare_v against_o such_o a_o gross_a innovation_n therefore_o it_o be_v think_v enough_o to_o keep_v the_o
