his_o justice_n life_n and_o other_o fruit_n of_o his_o sacrifice_n but_o also_o they_o receive_v and_o possess_v even_o himself_o and_o be_v make_v one_o with_o he_o no_o less_o true_o and_o strict_o

our_o trust_n in_o he_o to_o possess_v and_o enjoy_v he_o whole_o to_o answer_v the_o vij_o question_n we_o say_v that_o we_o reject_v and_o reprove_v the_o term_n of_o concomitance_n together_o

which_o be_v the_o participation_n of_o the_o cup_n and_o we_o say_v it_o be_v a_o attempt_n against_o the_o divine_a majesty_n to_o seek_v to_o separate_v that_o which_o the_o son_n of_o god_n have_v conjoin_v &_o deny_v to_o any_o of_o his_o member_n that_o which_o he_o have_v will_v and_o command_v to_o be_v common_a to_o all_o like_a as_o also_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o sacrament_n require_v

the_o grace_n of_o god_n the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n &_o faith_n by_o the_o which_o the_o effect_n of_o god_n grace_n &_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o death_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v apply_v unto_o us._n our_o answer_n to_o the_o ix_o question_n be_v that_o the_o faithful_a come_n to_o the_o supper_n come_v not_o to_o receive_v there_o a_o new_a jesus_n christ_n with_o who_o they_o have_v not_o be_v conjoin_v before_o nether_a a_o new_a justice_n which_o have_v not_o be_v communicate_v to_o they_o but_o we_o say_v that_o if_o any_o man_n present_v himself_o there_o without_o faith_n by_o want_n whereof_o he_o be_v not_o unite_v incorpored_a &_o knit_v in_o jesus_n christ_n to_o participate_v with_o his_o justice_n his_o life_n &_o other_o his_o gift_n and_o blessing_n in_o this_o case_n the_o holy_a supper_n be_v unprofitable_a to_o he_o as_o meat_n to_o a_o dead_a man_n but_o if_o live_v by_o the_o mean_v aforesaid_a by_o god_n grace_n the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o faith_n he_o present_v himself_o there_o in_o such_o estate_n that_o then_o god_n grace_n be_v multiply_v confirm_v and_o increase_v in_o he_o more_o &_o more_o as_o the_o circumcision_n bring_v not_o to_o abraham_n a_o new_a justice_n but_o seal_v and_o ratify_v that_o which_o have_v be_v communicate_v to_o he_o before_o by_o the_o promise_n the_o which_o be_v know_v to_o the_o faithful_a in_o what_o degree_n of_o virtue_n so_o ever_o they_o be_v ought_v not_o to_o mistake_v the_o holy_a supper_n nor_o in_o any_o sort_n abstain_v from_o it_o when_o they_o have_v the_o occasion_n and_o mean_n to_o assist_v it_o consider_v that_o they_o can_v be_v so_o far_o advance_v in_o the_o knowledge_n and_o fear_n of_o god_n and_o in_o the_o faith_n of_o his_o promise_n but_o that_o they_o may_v further_o profit_v and_o increase_v therein_o in_o what_o estate_n so_o ever_o they_o be_v by_o the_o mean_n which_o god_n have_v leave_v and_o ordain_v for_o this_o effect_n in_o his_o church_n neither_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o a_o man_n have_v a_o true_a faith_n in_o his_o heart_n do_v otherways_o have_v the_o commodity_n of_o it_o because_o the_o nature_n of_o faith_n be_v not_o to_o comprehend_v only_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n but_o also_o to_o engender_v and_o bring_v forth_o in_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o faithful_a a_o will_n to_o obey_v he_o with_o observation_n of_o his_o commandment_n and_o ordinance_n to_o answer_v the_o first_o article_n propon_v by_o the_o doctor_n touch_v their_o mass_n we_o say_v they_o blaspheme_v open_o jesus_n christ_n as_o to_o authorise_v under_o his_o name_n and_o by_o his_o example_n such_o a_o abomination_n and_o that_o also_o they_o make_v a_o scoff_n of_o the_o church_n and_o the_o world_n to_o preach_v and_o write_v such_o impiety_n to_o the_o second_o article_n of_o the_o mass_n we_o answer_v that_o there_o be_v no_o other_o sacrifice_n in_o the_o church_n by_o which_o man_n be_v reconcile_v to_o god_n and_o which_o make_v he_o merciful_a and_o favourable_a to_o they_o in_o appease_v his_o wrath_n than_o only_o that_o which_o jesus_n christ_n have_v once_o offer_v to_o his_o father_n upon_o the_o cross_n the_o virtue_n of_o the_o which_o be_v eternal_a to_o sanctify_v all_o the_o believe_v and_o obtain_v remission_n of_o their_o sin_n for_o ever_o there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o any_o other_o nor_o that_o that_o which_o he_o have_v once_o offer_v be_v ever_o repeat_v for_o answer_v to_o the_o three_o article_n we_o say_v that_o such_o as_o approve_v the_o mass_n and_o other_o sacrificature_fw-la than_o that_o of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o seek_v to_o establish_v for_o remission_n of_o sin_n a_o other_o sacrifice_n than_o that_o which_o he_o himself_o offer_v in_o his_o body_n of_o the_o cross_n be_v antichristes_n and_o deface_v in_o so_o much_o as_o in_o they_o be_v all_o the_o virtue_n and_o fruit_n of_o the_o death_n and_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god._n to_o answer_v the_o four_o we_o allege_v that_o which_o s._n paul_n write_v that_o where_o be_v remission_n there_o be_v no_o more_o oblation_n for_o the_o sin_n and_o if_o it_o be_v so_o that_o by_o the_o death_n of_o jesus_n christ_n remission_n have_v be_v obtain_v for_o we_o it_o follow_v that_o there_o be_v no_o more_o oblation_n for_o sin_n neither_o in_o the_o mass_n nor_o out_o of_o the_o mass_n and_o if_o there_o be_v none_o for_o the_o live_n there_o be_v less_o for_o they_o that_o be_v dead_a for_o answer_n to_o the_o fifthe_o we_o maintain_v that_o the_o communion_n be_v of_o the_o essence_n of_o the_o supper_n according_a to_o s._n paul_n in_o the_o first_o to_o the_o corinthian_n chap._n 10._o and_o .11_o and_o as_o the_o canon_n and_o other_o part_n of_o the_o mass_n import_v for_o answer_n to_o the_o six_n we_o allege_v three_o thing_n first_o that_o the_o mass_n of_o the_o papist_n be_v no_o sacrament_n and_o then_o that_o the_o body_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v not_o there_o and_o conclude_v thereupon_o that_o there_o can_v not_o be_v worship_v therein_o but_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n which_o rest_n there_o which_o be_v creature_n can_v not_o be_v worship_v but_o that_o such_o as_o do_v worship_n they_o be_v idolater_n to_o answer_v the_o seven_o and_o last_o article_n we_o say_v contrary_a to_o the_o doctor_n that_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o the_o mass_n which_o either_o direct_o or_o indirect_o be_v not_o contrary_a to_o god_n word_n and_o for_o conclusion_n we_o advise_v and_o pray_v the_o doctoures_fw-la not_o to_o exceed_v or_o forsake_v the_o limit_n of_o the_o matter_n propon_v this_o day_n to_o dispute_v upon_o as_o they_o have_v do_v heretofore_o to_o the_o end_n that_o these_o two_o point_n which_o stand_v at_o this_o day_n in_o debate_n

there_o represent_v and_o exhibit_v unto_o we_o as_o well_o in_o the_o element_n as_o in_o the_o action_n we_o say_v that_o it_o be_v jesus_n christ_n crucify_v &_o offer_v on_o the_o cross_n to_o god_n his_o father_n for_o the_o expiation_n &_o perfect_a satisfaction_n of_o all_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n and_o to_o make_v we_o enjoy_v the_o fruit_n of_o this_o sacrifice_n and_o to_o

represent_v and_o assure_v to_o we_o in_o the_o supper_n when_o with_o a_o true_a faith_n we_o come_v thither_o to_o celebrate_v it_o then_o the_o supper_n be_v not_o ordain_v to_o be_v a_o

which_o we_o ought_v to_o hold_v constant_o of_o the_o death_n and_o sacrifice_n of_o jesus_n christ_n there_o be_v great_a difference_n between_o sacrament_n and_o sacrifice_n because_o in_o

the_o sacrifice_n for_o sin_n there_o be_v death_n and_o effusion_n of_o blood_n of_o the_o host_n and_o oblation_n and_o not_o in_o the_o sacrament_n but_o only_o the_o application_n of_o the_o fruit_n and_o effect_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n so_o that_o in_o the_o supper_n jesus_n christ_n be_v not_o eftsoon_o sacrifice_v but_o the_o fruit_n of_o his_o obedience_n and_o of_o the_o merit_n of_o his_o sacrifice_n be_v there_o distribute_v and_o receive_v by_o the_o faithful_a by_o the_o reason_n aforesaid_a we_o conclude_v that_o it_o be_v a_o blasphemy_n and_o sacrilege_n to_o call_v the_o bread_n of_o the_o mass_n of_o a_o romish_a priest_n a_o host_n saluatorie_n and_o if_o to_o prove_v it_o the_o ancient_n be_v allege_v in_o who_o write_n it_o be_v find_v that_o sometime_o the_o

no_o affinity_n and_o then_o that_o which_o the_o ancient_n have_v say_v that_o they_o never_o understand_v it_o a_o sacrifice_n propitiatory_a by_o the_o which_o remission_n of_o sin_n be_v get_v

than_o the_o only_a sacrifice_n of_o jesus_n christ_n make_v by_o he_o only_o once_o upon_o the_o cross_n we_o say_v then_o in_o effect_n three_o thing_n first_o that_o there_o neither_o be_v nor_o can_v be_v other_o sacrificator_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n than_o jesus_n christ_n the_o reason_n be_v because_o there_o be_v none_o but_o he_o of_o who_o it_o have_v be_v say_v thou_o be_v

have_v not_o need_v every_o day_n to_o offer_v sacrifice_n first_o for_o his_o own_o sin_n and_o then_o for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o people_n also_o there_o be_v none_o but_o he_o which_o either_o
