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

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

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 resurrection_n they_o have_v no_o thought_n of_o a_o state_n of_o punishment_n after_o death_n from_o which_o they_o be_v to_o be_v free_v by_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o mass_n but_o they_o build_v 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 place_n of_o call_v on_o god_n in_o the_o grave_a or_o for_o those_o that_o be_v in_o their_o grave_n all_o shall_v at_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n receive_v according_a to_o what_o they_o have_v do_v in_o the_o body_n there_o be_v no_o expiation_n of_o gild_n after_o death_n but_o he_o that_o be_v not_o absolve_v in_o this_o life_n must_v be_v miserable_a for_o ever_o therefore_o these_o performance_n on_o the_o behalf_n of_o the_o dead_a be_v no_o better_o than_o a_o breach_n of_o the_o three_o commandment_n a_o take_a god_n name_n in_o vain_a by_o call_v on_o he_o for_o those_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 be_v hope_n but_o to_o he_o that_o be_v dead_a there_o be_v no_o hope_n but_o what_o his_o way_n of_o live_v here_o will_v administer_v to_o he_o i_o conclude_v this_o with_o the_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n heb._n 13._o 7_o etc._n etc._n remember_v they_o which_o have_v the_o rule_n over_o you_o who_o have_v speak_v unto_o you_o the_o word_n of_o god_n who_o faith_n follow_v consider_v the_o end_n of_o their_o conversation_n jesus_n christ_n the_o same_o yesterday_o and_o to_o day_n and_o for_o ever_o be_v not_o carry_v about_o with_o divers_a and_o strange_a doctrine_n for_o it_o be_v a_o good_a thing_n that_o the_o heart_n be_v establish_v with_o grace_n not_o with_o meat_n which_o have_v not_o profit_v they_o which_o have_v be_v occupy_v therein_o we_o have_v a_o altar_n whereof_o they_o have_v no_o right_a to_o eat_v which_o serve_v the_o tabernacle_n for_o the_o body_n of_o those_o beast_n who_o blood_n be_v bring_v into_o the_o sanctuary_n by_o the_o highpriest_n for_o sin_n be_v burn_v without_o the_o camp._n wherefore_o jesus_n also_o that_o he_o may_v sanctify_v the_o people_n with_o his_o own_o blood_n suffer_v without_o the_o gate_n let_v we_o go_v forth_o therefore_o unto_o he_o without_o the_o camp_n bear_v his_o reproach_n for_o here_o we_o have_v no_o continue_a city_n but_o we_o seek_v one_o to_o come_v by_o he_o therefore_o let_v we_o offer_v the_o sacrifice_n of_o praise_n to_o god_n continual_o that_o be_v the_o fruit_n of_o our_o lip_n give_v thanks_o to_o his_o name_n but_o to_o do_v good_a and_o to_o communicate_v forget_v not_o for_o with_o such_o sacrifice_n god_n be_v well_o please_v 7._o now_o i_o come_v to_o the_o seven_o and_o last_o enquiry_n propose_v viz._n whether_o the_o doctrine_n of_o transubstantiation_n can_v be_v maintain_v by_o scripture_n this_o have_v be_v endeavour_v by_o our_o adversary_n but_o to_o no_o purpose_n and_o the_o scripture_n furnish_v we_o with_o two_o very_a good_a argument_n to_o the_o contrary_n which_o be_v 1._o that_o christ_n body_n can_v be_v in_o but_o one_o place_n at_o once_o 2._o that_o we_o eat_v the_o body_n and_o drink_v the_o blood_n of_o christ_n only_o by_o faith._n against_o both_o which_o transubstantiation_n make_v christ_n body_n visible_a in_o a_o thousand_o place_n at_o once_o and_o assert_n that_o we_o eat_v the_o very_a natural_a flesh_n of_o christ_n and_o gnaw_v it_o with_o our_o tooth_n as_o we_o do_v our_o common_a meat_n and_o since_o in_o this_o case_n we_o be_v deny_v the_o use_n of_o our_o sense_n we_o must_v be_v judge_v by_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o first_o the_o scripture_n testify_v that_o christ_n body_n can_v be_v in_o but_o one_o place_n at_o once_o our_o saviour_n matth._n 26._o 11._o tell_v we_o

hammond_n have_v most_o ingenuous_o and_o accurate_o express_v the_o apostle_n meaning_n and_o therefore_o with_o his_o word_n i_o shall_v conclude_v christ_n say_v he_o be_v a_o example_n of_o suffer_v for_o well-doing_n in_o his_o die_v for_o sin_n not_o his_o own_o but_o we_o he_o be_v righteous_a die_v for_o we_o who_o be_v unrighteous_a that_o when_o we_o be_v alien_n and_o enemy_n to_o god_n he_o may_v reconcile_v we_o to_o he_o and_o give_v we_o authority_n to_o approach_v he_o wherein_o yet_o for_o our_o example_n and_o comfort_n it_o must_v be_v observe_v that_o though_o as_o a_o man_n clothe_v in_o our_o flesh_n he_o be_v put_v to_o death_n and_o that_o innocent_o to_o purchase_v redemption_n for_o we_o yet_o by_o the_o power_n of_o god_n in_o he_o he_o be_v most_o glorious_o

majesty_n against_o his_o enemy_n but_o withal_o in_o great_a mercy_n and_o deliverance_n to_o his_o obedient_a servant_n that_o adhere_v to_o he_o i_o mean_v in_o the_o day_n of_o the_o old_a world_n when_o by_o noah_n that_o preacher_n of_o righteousness_n he_o give_v those_o treatable_a warning_n to_o those_o that_o make_v no_o use_n of_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n in_o their_o heart_n to_o the_o spirit_n or_o soul_n of_o those_o that_o be_v then_o alive_a before_o the_o flood_n which_o god_n have_v give_v they_o with_o impression_n of_o good_a and_o evil_a but_o through_o their_o custom_n of_o sin_n be_v as_o a_o sword_n put_v up_o in_o a_o sheath_n lay_v up_o in_o their_o body_n unprofitable_o so_o then_o upon_o the_o whole_a matter_n whether_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o apostle_n be_v refer_v to_o our_o saviour_n preach_v by_o noah_n to_o they_o of_o the_o old_a world_n or_o by_o his_o apostle_n to_o the_o gentile_n of_o the_o new_a be_v not_o much_o to_o the_o purpose_n this_o be_v the_o plain_a resolution_n of_o the_o present_a quere_z that_o the_o word_n prison_n here_o make_v use_v of_o be_v only_o a_o metaphorical_a epithet_n give_v to_o the_o body_n

our_o saviour_n by_o his_o minister_n preach_v the_o gospel_n especial_o to_o unbeliever_n or_o wicked_a man_n he_o may_v be_v say_v to_o preach_v to_o spirit_n in_o prison_n from_o what_o have_v be_v say_v then_o i_o think_v purgatory_n can_v be_v assert_v from_o the_o word_n of_o st._n peter_n whence_o we_o come_v to_o consider_v those_o of_o st._n paul_n if_o any_o man_n work_n shall_v be_v

to_o they_o two_o sort_n of_o preacher_n some_o who_o endeavour_v nothing_o more_o than_o to_o preach_v the_o pure_a simplicity_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o to_o feed_v the_o flock_n of_o christ_n with_o sound_n and_o wholesome_a doctrine_n and_o other_o who_o pretend_v to_o great_a part_n and_o knowledge_n than_o other_o man_n and_o these_o with_o superfluous_a flourish_n and_o empty_a gloss_n endeavour_v to_o win_v the_o heart_n of_o their_o hearer_n by_o their_o worldly_a wisdom_n as_o the_o apostle_n call_v it_o as_o the_o other_o study_v for_o the_o preservation_n of_o a_o good_a

as_o they_o can_v and_o by_o indulge_v they_o in_o some_o petty_a matter_n as_o they_o call_v they_o that_o the_o gospel_n may_v not_o seem_v too_o heavy_a a_o burden_n to_o to_o they_o they_o will_v tell_v the_o people_n of_o work_n of_o supererogation_n some_o thing_n they_o may_v do_v more_o than_o they_o be_v command_v to_o do_v and_o so_o bring_v in_o worship_v of_o angel_n under_o a_o
