mounsieur_fw-fr be_v utter_o false_a as_o to_o all_o its_o part_n and_o his_o bare_a word_n for_o it_o without_o any_o proof_n be_v no_o imaginary_a but_o real_a obstinate_a impudence_n for_o he_o contradict_v all_o the_o general_a council_n holy_a father_n and_o universal_a church_n of_o god_n yet_o he_o offer_v to_o prove_v it_o thus_o rodon_n first_o because_o it_o be_v say_v heb._n 9_o that_o without_o shed_v of_o blood_n there_o be_v no_o remission_n of_o sin_n therefore_o in_o the_o unbloudy_a sacrifice_n of_o the_o mass_n there_o can_v be_v no_o remission_n of_o sin_n and_o consequent_o it_o can_v be_v a_o propitiatory_a sacrifice_n for_o sin_n answ._n to_o this_o silly_a consequence_n i_o answer_v again_o and_o again_o and_o say_v that_o what_o the_o holy_a father_n unanimous_o consent_v unto_o and_o practise_v daily_o as_o concern_v a_o unbloudy_a propitiatory_a sacrifice_n be_v ten_o thousand_o time_n of_o more_o weight_n and_o a_o better_a warrant_n for_o our_o opinion_n than_o the_o rodon_n and_o all_o his_o fanatic_a rabble_n bare_a word_n be_v to_o destroy_v or_o weaken_v it_o therefore_o i_o confess_v with_o the_o apostle_n heb._n the_o 9_o that_o without_o shed_v of_o blood_n there_o be_v no_o remission_n of_o sin_n because_o if_o there_o have_v be_v no_o primitive_a bloody_a sacrifice_n this_o unbloudy_a sacrifice_n have_v not_o be_v institute_v for_o it_o be_v institute_v as_o a_o memorial_n or_o remembrance_n of_o the_o bloody_a one_o from_o whence_o follow_v not_o at_o all_o that_o the_o same_o host_n which_o be_v once_o offer_v bloody_o may_v not_o be_v offer_v again_o unbloudy_o for_o our_o sin_n and_o consequent_o that_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o mass_n can_v be_v a_o propitiatory_a sacrifice_n for_o sin_n rodon_n second_o because_o jesus_n christ_n can_v be_v offer_v without_o suffer_v for_o the_o apostle_n say_v heb._n 6._o jesus_n christ_n offer_v not_o himself_o often_o otherwise_o he_o shall_v often_o have_v suffer_v but_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o jesus_n christ_n with_o suffer_v be_v a_o bloody_a sacrifice_n therefore_o there_o be_v no_o unbloudy_a s●…crifice_n answ._n that_o christ_n can_v be_v offer_v without_o suffering_n and_o that_o a_o rigorous_a sacrifice_n may_v be_v without_o death_n blood_n or_o suffer_v be_v sufficient_o maintain_v before_o as_o also_o that_o these_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n must_v be_v understand_v of_o a_o bloody_a sacrifice_n which_o we_o confess_v be_v not_o to_o be_v reiterated_a but_o not_o of_o a_o unbloudy_a one_o we_o say_v before_o therefore_o these_o consequence_n draw_v out_o of_o the_o apostle_n be_v but_o frivolous_a repetition_n of_o his_o old_a shatter_a stuff_n rodon_n three_o because_o the_o bloody_a sacrifice_n of_o the_o cross_n be_v of_o a_o infinite_a value_n have_v purchase_v a_o eternal_a redemption_n heb._n 9_o and_o have_v take_v away_o all_o sin_n past_a present_a and_o to_o come_v whence_o it_o follow_v that_o there_o be_v no_o other_o sacrifice_n either_o bloody_a or_o unbloudy_a that_o can_v purchase_v the_o pardon_n of_o our_o sin_n the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o cross_n have_v sufficient_o do_v it_o let_v the_o mounsieur_fw-fr stir_v the_o r●…bbish_n never_o so_o often_o and_o turn_v it_o over_o and_o over_o and_o let_v he_o turn_v and_o search_v the_o apostle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n and_o look_v narrow_o into_o all_o his_o other_o work_n never_o so_o often_o i_o be_o sure_a he_o will_v never_o be_v able_a to_o pick_v one_o golden_a or_o silver_a consequence_n nay_o not_o one_o worth_n a_o straw_n to_o serve_v his_o turn_n against_o we_o for_o we_o grant_v that_o there_o be_v no_o other_o sacrifice_n bloody_a or_o unbloudy_a essential_o distinct_a from_o the_o bloody_a sacrifice_n of_o the_o cross_n that_o can_v purchase_v the_o pardon_n of_o our_o sin_n but_o we_o deny_v that_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o mass_n be_v essential_o distinct_a from_o that_o of_o the_o cross_n or_o that_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o mass_n be_v the_o selfsame_a with_o that_o of_o the_o cross_n can_v purchase_v the_o pardon_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o i_o pray_v mounsieur_fw-fr wat_fw-mi force_n have_v your_o consequence_n out_o of_o the_o apostle_n against_o this_o answer_n no_o more_o certainty_n as_o any_o man_n may_v see_v then_o a_o break_a straw_n have_v rodon_n four_o because_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n require_v that_o sin_n shall_v be_v expiate_v by_o the_o punishment_n that_o be_v due_a to_o they_o and_o this_o be_v so_o true_a that_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n can_v not_o be_v appease_v but_o by_o the_o bloody_a and_o ignominious_a death_n of_o the_o cross_n therefore_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n must_v have_v change_v its_o nature_n if_o sin_n can_v be_v expiate_v in_o the_o mass_n without_o pain_n or_o suffering_n answ._n i_o grant_v that_o god_n wrath_n for_o our_o sin_n be_v appease_v by_o the_o bloody_a and_o ignominious_a death_n of_o christ_n upon_o the_o cross_n and_o that_o the_o satisfaction_n be_v according_a to_o rigorous_a justice_n but_o i_o deny_v that_o the_o nature_n of_o god_n justice_n must_v have_v change_v if_o sin_n can_v be_v expiate_v in_o the_o mass_n without_o pain_n or_o suffering_n because_o the_o mass_n as_o it_o be_v a_o sacrifice_n derive_v all_o its_o force_n virtue_n and_o vigour_n from_o the_o primitive_a bloody_a sacrifice_n of_o the_o cross_n and_o be_v both_o be_v of_o one_o essence_n and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o more_o need_n of_o a_o bloody_a satisfaction_n for_o sin_n it_o follow_v that_o the_o repetition_n or_o reiteration_n of_o the_o same_o sacrifice_n now_o offer_v unbloudy_o for_o there_o be_v no_o more_o need_n of_o a_o bloody_a sacrifice_n have_v the_o same_o force_n and_o efficacy_n to_o expiate_v sin_n now_o as_o it_o have_v when_o it_o be_v offer_v upon_o the_o cross_n the_o person_n offer_v be_v the_o selfsame_a and_o of_o the_o same_o value_n and_o worth_n and_o this_o be_v true_a that_o the_o mounsieurs_fw-fr consequence_n be_v very_o false_a because_o christ_n have_v satisfy_v once_o bloody_o and_o his_o body_n be_v now_o glorious_a and_o impatible_a as_o it_o be_v not_o convenient_a he_o shall_v suffer_v again_o have_v satisfy_v sufficient_o already_o for_o all_o sin_n in_o general_a so_o be_v it_o convenient_a his_o bloody_a passion_n shall_v be_v

a_o sacrifice_n representative_a commemorative_n and_o applicative_a of_o that_o of_o the_o mass_n may_v bear_v a_o good_a sense_n viz._n that_o there_o be_v in_o it_o a_o representation_n

into_o the_o cup_n represent_v the_o blood_n of_o christ_n shed_v for_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n a_o commemoration_n because_o all_o that_o be_v do_v in_o it_o be_v do_v in_o remembrance_n of_o

11._o as_o often_o as_o you_o eat_v this_o bread_n and_o drink_v this_o cup_n you_o do_v show_v the_o lord_n death_n till_o he_o come_v and_o a_o application_n because_o the_o merit_n of_o the_o

therefore_o what_o the_o mounsieur_fw-fr object_n concern_v eat_v christ_n body_n corporal_o by_o reprobat_n be_v to_o no_o purpose_n for_o we_o confess_v that_o to_o eat_v he_o corporal_o only_o without_o faith_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o theological_a virtue_n bring_v rather_o eternal_a damnation_n then_o eternal_a life_n to_o the_o soul_n and_o yet_o we_o still_o deny_v that_o he_o be_v

the_o death_n of_o the_o son_n of_o man_n as_o meat_n and_o drink_n but_o to_o ruminate_v and_o meditate_v upon_o his_o death_n so_o that_o the_o cardinal_n meaning_n be_v that_o to_o receive_v the_o

christ_n command_v we_o to_o do_v and_o which_o catholic_n practise_v daily_o and_o his_o additionate_n word_n viz._n to_o eat_v and_o drink_v the_o sacrament_n be_v common_o as_o well_o etc._n etc._n do_v clear_a his_o meaning_n for_o he_o know_v that_o to_o eat_v christ_n body_n corporal_o be_v a_o thing_n common_a as_o well_o to_o the_o reprobate_a as_o to_o the_o elect_a he_o tell_v we_o that_o to_o eat_v it_o profitable_o we_o must_v believe_v it_o to_o be_v a_o rememorative_n of_o christ_n death_n and_o that_o by_o so_o eat_v it_o we_o eat_v and_o ruminate_v upon_o his_o death_n therefore_o although_o we_o confess_v that_o faith_n be_v necessary_a in_o he_o that_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n to_o take_v it_o worthy_o and_o profitable_o yet_o we_o deny_v that_o faith_n be_v
