sense_n to_o sacrifice_v christ_n body_n upon_o rhemist_n annot_v hebr._n 13._o sect_n 6._o ans._n first_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o christ_n death_n whereof_o we_o be_v make_v partaker_n by_o faith_n which_o they_o can_v reap_v no_o benefit_n by_o which_o remain_v in_o the_o ceremonial_a observation_n of_o leviticall_a sacrifice_n christ_n therefore_o be_v our_o priest_n altar_n and_o sacrifice_v for_o verse_n 12._o the_o apostle_n make_v mention_n of_o the_o suffering_n of_o christ_n he_o mean_v not_o then_o the_o communion_n table_n which_o be_v unproper_o call_v a_o altar_n or_o any_o material_a altar_n beside_o but_o the_o altar_n only_o of_o christ_n death_n second_o if_o wheresoever_o in_o scripture_n this_o word_n altar_n be_v read_v it_o must_v be_v take_v for_o a_o proper_a material_a altar_n we_o shall_v have_v also_o a_o material_a altar_n in_o heaven_n apoc._n 8.3_o which_o i_o be_o sure_a they_o will_v not_o grant_v three_o the_o apostle_n say_v we_o have_v a_o altar_n which_o be_v but_o one_o whereas_o popish_a altar_n be_v many_o it_o can_v therefore_o be_v understand_v of_o such_o altar_n the_o protestant_n that_o there_o be_v spiritual_a sacrifice_n remain_v yet_o unto_o christian_n in_o the_o exercise_n of_o religion_n we_o do_v very_o believe_v be_v so_o teach_v by_o the_o scripture_n such_o be_v the_o sacrifice_n of_o praise_n and_o thanksgiving_n heb._n 13.15_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o alm_n and_o distribution_n verse_n 16._o the_o mortify_v also_o of_o the_o flesh_n be_v a_o kind_n of_o crucify_a and_o so_o a_o spiritual_a sacrifice_n galat._n 6.14_o and_o in_o this_o sense_n we_o deny_v not_o but_o that_o the_o sacrament_n may_v be_v call_v a_o sacrifice_n that_o be_v a_o spiritual_a oblation_n of_o praise_n and_o thanksgiving_n but_o that_o there_o be_v a_o proper_a and_o external_a sacrifice_n as_o in_o the_o law_n of_o goat_n and_o bullock_n upon_o the_o cross_n of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n so_o in_o the_o eucharist_n of_o the_o same_o body_n and_o flesh_n of_o christ_n we_o do_v hold_v it_o for_o a_o great_a blasphemy_n and_o heresy_n argum._n 1._o the_o very_a flesh_n and_o true_a natural_a body_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o as_o we_o have_v show_v before_o at_o large_a in_o such_o carnal_a and_o corporal_a manner_n present_a in_o the_o sacrament_n therefore_o it_o can_v in_o the_o sacrament_n be_v sacrifice_v and_o offer_v up_o argum._n 2._o this_o sacrifice_v of_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n be_v contrary_a to_o christ_n institution_n for_o he_o say_v only_o take_v you_o eat_v you_o drink_v you_o he_o say_v not_o sacrifice_v you_o or_o lift_v up_o and_o make_v a_o oblation_n of_o my_o body_n neither_o do_v those_o word_n hoc_fw-la facite_fw-la do_v this_o

sacrifice_v you_o all_o christian_n for_o who_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o eat_v and_o drink_v the_o sacrament_n by_o this_o rule_n have_v authority_n to_o sacrifice_v again_o the_o word_n be_v do_v this_o in_o remembrance_n we_o remember_v thing_n absent_a and_o which_o be_v already_o do_v and_o pass_v if_o then_o there_o be_v a_o present_a sacrifice_n in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n it_o can_v proper_o be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o memory_n of_o his_o sacrifice_n argum._n 3._o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o christ_n need_v not_o to_o offer_v himself_o often_o but_o that_o he_o have_v do_v once_o in_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n heb._n 9.26_o and_o with_o one_o offering_n have_v he_o make_v perfect_a for_o ever_o they_o that_o be_v sanctify_v 10.14_o ergo_fw-la christ_n can_v be_v sacrifice_v again_o for_o that_o be_v to_o make_v his_o sacrifice_n upon_o the_o cross_a imperfect_a bellarmine_n answer_v that_o the_o apostle_n here_o speak_v of_o the_o bloody_a and_o painful_a sacrifice_n of_o christ_n upon_o the_o cross_n which_o be_v sufficient_a once_o to_o be_v do_v but_o this_o take_v not_o away_o the_o unbloodie_a sacrifice_n which_o be_v but_o a_o
