sacrifice but the sacrifice of prayer of the priest for them as for y ● sacrifice of the Masse there is no mention of it Againe he reporteth him to Hierome To. 1. in Iouinianum saying The Priest to offer dayly for his owne sinnes and the people Neither are Hieromes wordes as he citeth them but thus Sacerdoti cui semper pro populo offerenda sunt sacrificia semper orandum est The Priest which must always offer sacrifice for the people must always pray Where is here the sacrifice propitiatorie of the Masse when Hyeronyme expoūdeth his sacrifice for prayer in the second parte of the same worke saying that Christ In typo sanguinis sui non obiulit aquam sed vinum In the figure or type of his bloud offered not water but wine Both denyeth transubstantiation the carnall presence also expresseth what manner of oblation he meaneth when he vseth the name of sacrifice offering oblation namely a sacrifice of thankesgiuing in remembrance of Christes death Thirdly he reporteth himselfe to Ambrose lib. 1. Offic. Cap. 48. who affirmeth Christ to be yet offered in the Church for the remission of our sinnes But the report of Ambrose is cleane against him Antè agnus offerebatur offerebatur vitulus Nūc Christus offertur sed offertur quasi homo quasi recipiens passionem offert se ipse quasi sacerdos vt peccata nostra remittat Hîc in imagine ibi in veritate vbi apud parem pro nobis quasi aduocatus interuenit Before a lambe was offered a calfe was offered Now Christ is offered but he is offered as a man as suffering his passion and he offreth him selfe as a priest that he may forgiue our sinnes Here in an image there in trueth where hee maketh intercession for vs as an aduocate with the father What can be more euident against the sacrifice of the Masse then that he sayeth Christe is offered here in an image not in trueth he is offered by him selfe not by a popish priest he is offered as a man suffering his passion therefore not in an vnbloudy sacrifice but in an image of his bloudie sacrifice Fourthly he reporteth him selfe to Gregorie Nazianzene Orat. 1. in Iulianum who sayeth that by the oblation of this sacrifice we are made partakers of the passion of Christ. He speaketh not of the Masse but thus he saith Mox incruenti sacrificii oblatione manus commaculat per quod nor Christo vnimur nec non passionis ac diuinitatis eius participes reddimur Anon he defileth his handes with the offring of the vnbloody sacrifice by which wee are vnited to Christ and are made partakers of his passion and diuinitie He calleth the ministration of the communion the oblation of the vnbloudie sacrifice as the fathers of that time did speake vnproperly But else where he sheweth expressely that the onely sacrifice of Christes death is a propitiatorie sacrifice and such as cannot be repeated In sanct Pasc. Or. 4. Magnum illud insacrificabile vt ita dicam sacrificium quod in prima natura legalibus intermixtum est hostiis non pro parua orbis parte neque pro paucis sed toto mundo purgationem obtulit aeuiternam That great and vnsacrificable sacrifice as I may call it which in the first age was set foorth by the sacrifices of the lawe he offered to be an eternall purgation not for a small parte of the world nor for a fewe but for the whole world His fift report out of the counterfait Epistle of Alexander Bishop of Rome I will not vouchsafe to aunswere His sixt reporter is Origen Hom. 13. in Leuiticum who writeth of the commemoration that Christ commaunded in his last supper to be done that Ista est commemoratio sola quae propitium facit hominibus Deum This is the onely commemoration which purchaseth propititation and mercy of GOD to men Although here be neuer a worde of the sacrifice of the Masse yet howe shamefully he applyeth onely to the commemoration of the last supper that which Origen speaketh not of that onely but of the propitiation by faith in his bloud you shall easily see by Origens whole sentence out of which he hath gelded this patch Sed parua satis tenuis est huiusmodi intercessio Quantum enim profecit ad repropitiandun vbi vniuscuiusque tribus per panem fructus per fructus opera considerāda sunt Sed si referantur haec ad mysterii magnitudinem inuenies commemorationem istam habere ingentis repropitiationis effectum Si redeas ad illum panem qui de coelo descendit dat huic mundo vitam illum panem propositionis quem praeposuit Deus propitiationem per fidem in sanguine eius si respicias ad illam commemorationem de qua dicit dominus hoc facite in meam commemorationem inuenies quòd ista est commemoratio sola quae propitium faciat hominibus Deum Speaking of the shewe breade of the Lawe he sayeth But smal and little worth is such intercession For howe much hath it profited vnto propitiation where the fruit of euery tribe by bread by their fruit their works are to be cōsidered But if these things be referred to the greatnes of the misterie thou shalt find this commemoration to haue effect of great propitiation If thou returne to that bread which came downe from heauen and giueth life to the world that bread of proposition which God hath set forth to bee a propitiation by faith in his blood and if thou look vnto that commemoration of which the Lord sayeth do this in remembrance of mee thou shalt finde that this is the onely cōmemoration which maketh God merciful to men Thus you see that Origen taketh not the sacrament alone but Christ and faith in his blood wherof the sacrament is a commemoration to be the only propitiation for our sinnes figured in the shew breade His last man is Augustine De ciuitate Dei li. 22. Ca. 8. Vir tribunitus Hesperius c. Hesperius a worshipful man who is with vs hath in his territorie of Fussala a piece of ground called Cuber In y ● which place vnderstanding his house to be vexed with euil spirits to y ● great affliction of his cattell and seruants required in my absence our priests that some of them would go thither by whose prayers they might depart One went thither He offered there the sacrifice of the bodye of Christ praying as much as he was able that the same vexation might cease Incontinently through y ● mercie of God 〈◊〉 ceased Here is nothing but the name of sacrifice which the fathers then vsed vnproperly for y ● celebration of the communion But that by merite of that sacrifice God was pacified to cast out those diuels Augustine sayeth not but Stapleton absurdly gathereth For Augustine calleth the death of Christe the singuler and onely true sacrifice Cont. advers leg proph lib. 1 Cap. 18.
