here_o that_o the_o apostle_n repeat_v this_o so_o oft_o that_o christ_n be_v once_o offer_v for_o take_v away_o our_o sin_n destroy_v all_o other_o pretend_a sacrifice_n for_o sin_n and_o special_o that_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o mass_n which_o they_o say_v be_v a_o propitiatory_a sacrifice_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o quick_a and_o the_o dead_a r._n true_o the_o place_n be_v so_o plain_a that_o very_a child_n may_v understand_v they_o and_o i_o will_v god_n that_o these_o poor_a people_n who_o of_o a_o blind_a mind_n dote_v after_o mass_n think_v by_o it_o to_o get_v the_o pardon_n of_o their_o sin_n have_v this_o benefit_n of_o god_n word_n as_o you_o have_v it_o that_o so_o by_o the_o light_n of_o it_o they_o may_v come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o truth_n c._n and_o i_o wish_v the_o same_o from_o my_o heart_n but_o now_o to_o confirm_v you_o yet_o further_o i_o pray_v you_o mark_v how_o blasphemous_a and_o deceitful_a a_o thing_n their_o mass_n be_v first_o be_v not_o this_o a_o mockery_n of_o god_n the_o father_n to_o desire_v he_o to_o accept_v his_o own_o son_n be_v christ_n out_o of_o the_o favour_n of_o his_o father_n say_v he_o not_o he_o be_v my_o son_n in_o who_o i_o be_o well_o please_v shall_v a_o mortal_a &_o miserable_a sinful_a priest_n be_v a_o mediator_n or_o peacemaker_n between_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n pray_v the_o father_n that_o he_o will_v accept_v his_o son_n and_o send_v down_o a_o angel_n to_o take_v up_o his_o body_n into_o heaven_n r._n fie_o upon_o it_o it_o be_v a_o vile_a blasphemy_n c._n second_o see_v you_o not_o how_o it_o invert_v god_n ordinance_n for_o where_o he_o have_v ordain_v a_o sacrament_n wherein_o god_n offer_v and_o give_v his_o son_n to_o we_o they_o have_v change_v it_o into_o a_o sacrifice_n wherein_o they_o offer_v up_o the_o son_n to_o the_o father_n r._n i_o see_v that_o also_o c._n three_o be_v it_o not_o a_o injurious_a thing_n to_o christ_n to_o say_v that_o any_o can_v offer_v he_o up_o to_o god_n but_o himself_o r._n it_o be_v inde●de_v for_o as_o no_o other_o sacrifice_n can_v satisfy_v god_n justice_n so_o no_o other_o sacrificer_n can_v be_v worthy_a to_o offer_v he_o but_o himself_o as_o be_v clear_a out_o of_o your_o former_a testimony_n c._n four_o be_v it_o not_o a_o deceive_n of_o the_o people_n to_o say_v that_o a_o unbloudie_a sacrifice_n such_o as_o they_o say_v the_o mass_n be_v can_v be_v propitiatory_a to_o obtain_v remission_n of_o sin_n r._n it_o be_v indeed_o and_o express_o against_o the_o word_n of_o god_n you_o have_v allege_v without_o shed_v of_o blood_n there_o be_v no_o remission_n they_o grant_v themselves_o that_o in_o the_o mass_n there_o be_v no_o shed_n of_o blood_n and_o how_o then_o can_v it_o give_v pardon_n or_o remission_n of_o sin_n c._n well_o then_o since_o by_o this_o you_o see_v how_o they_o derogate_v from_o christ_n sacrifice_n which_o be_v the_o first_o part_n of_o christ_n priestly_a office_n i_o will_v now_o let_v you_o see_v how_o they_o also_o cut_v away_o the_o other_o namely_o his_o intercession_n mark_v that_o place_n of_o the_o apostle_n there_o be_v one_o god_n and_o one_o mediator_n of_o god_n and_o man_n the_o man_n christ_n jesus_n r._n they_o have_v a_o distinction_n for_o that_o and_o say_v there_o be_v but_o one_o mediator_n of_o redemption_n but_o for_o intercession_n many_o c._n but_o will_v you_o consider_v the_o place_n and_o you_o shall_v see_v where_o the_o apostle_n say_v there_o be_v but_o one_o mediator_n he_o be_v speak_v of_o intercession_n and_o pray_v and_o so_o his_o meaning_n must_v be_v there_o be_v one_o mediator_n of_o intercession_n read_v the_o place_n and_o see_v r._n i_o see_v it_o be_v so_o indeed_o c._n now_o with_o it_o will_v you_o but_o join_v this_o place_n of_o augustine_n qui_fw-la pro_fw-la omnibus_fw-la interpellat_n pro_fw-la quo_fw-la autem_fw-la nullus_fw-la 8_o be_v verus_fw-la &_o unicus_fw-la mediator_n

call_v a_o mediator_n for_o so_o there_o shall_v be_v many_o mediator_n of_o intercession_n r._n but_o shall_v not_o christian_n intercede_v one_o of_o they_o for_o a_o other_o as_o we_o be_v command_v one_o of_o you_o pray_v for_o a_o other_o c._n they_o shall_v indeed_o but_o you_o must_v understand_v that_o this_o and_o the_o like_a precept_n be_v for_o christian_n here_o militant_a on_o earth_n in_o one_o communion_n wherein_o alike_o one_o of_o they_o be_v bind_v to_o help_v a_o other_o by_o their_o prayer_n r._n but_o do_v not_o they_o who_o be_v in_o heaven_n pray_v for_o the_o church_n militant_a on_o earth_n c._n i_o think_v they_o do_v in_o general_n but_o not_o upon_o any_o particular_a knowledge_n of_o our_o private_a necessity_n trouble_n or_o tentation_n r._n how_o can_v that_o be_v c._n you_o may_v soon_o understand_v how_o for_o if_o they_o know_v your_o grief_n it_o be_v either_o by_o hear_v of_o your_o word_n or_o understand_v of_o your_o thought_n or_o by_o some_o revelation_n make_v to_o they_o think_v you_o they_o know_v your_o thought_n r._n no_o indeed_o that_o be_v proper_a to_o god_n c._n think_v you_o they_o hear_v your_o voice_n when_o

they_o must_v know_v it_o by_o revelation_n r._n it_o be_v most_o likely_a that_o when_o we_o pray_v god_n tell_v they_o our_o necessity_n c._n what_o need_v you_o then_o to_o pray_v they_o to_o intercede_v for_o you_o r._n but_o how_o shall_v we_o go_v to_o a_o king_n but_o by_o his_o courtier_n c._n what_o a_o silly_a refuge_n be_v that_o you_o have_v forget_v what_o you_o answer_v even_o now_o see_v you_o not_o here_o how_o that_o similitude_n use_v by_o papist_n be_v destroy_v to_o wit_n that_o as_o we_o go_v to_o earthly_a king_n by_o courtier_n so_o we_o shall_v go_v to_o the_o king_n of_o heaven_n by_o heavenly_a courtier_n for_o here_o it_o be_v not_o the_o courtier_n that_o show_v our_o necessity_n to_o the_o king_n but_o the_o king_n you_o see_v show_v they_o to_o his_o

and_o yet_o pass_v by_o the_o king_n and_o depend_v upon_o courtier_n to_o have_v his_o turn_n do_v by_o they_o r._n i_o think_v no_o less_o than_o you_o say_v but_o how_o be_v it_o then_o they_o
