law_n unless_o we_o will_v be_v unthankful_a towards_o jesus_n christ_n and_o open_a enemy_n to_o his_o church_n and_o to_o our_o own_o salvation_n now_o because_o it_o be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o

to_o sanctify_v the_o name_n of_o god_n first_o whereas_o we_o be_v join_v and_o knit_v to_o jesus_n christ_n in_o the_o supper_n whereas_o we_o be_v make_v flesh_n of_o his_o flesh_n and_o bone_n of_o his_o bone_n whereas_o we_o live_v by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n ought_v not_o these_o thing_n to_o move_v we_o to_o fashion_v ourselves_o after_o the_o image_n and_o likeness_n of_o our_o lord_n

our_o redemption_n for_o to_o the_o end_n be_v the_o holy_a supper_n call_v eucharistia_n that_o be_v to_o say_v a_o thanksgiving_n and_o sure_o if_o our_o meat_n and_o the_o daily_a bread_n which_o

yea_o that_o which_o ought_v to_o be_v unto_o we_o a_o notable_a provocation_n we_o see_v that_o our_o saviour_n himself_o have_v by_o his_o own_o example_n declare_v unto_o we_o our_o duty_n in_o this_o behalf_n for_o when_o he_o take_v the_o bread_n s._n matthew_n and_o s._n mark_v record_n that_o he_o bless_v it_o before_o he_o break_v it_o and_o give_v it_o to_o his_o disciple_n which_o word_n of_o blessing_n s._n luke_n expound_v to_o be_v geve_v of_o thanks_o now_o see_v that_o jesus_n christ_n when_o he_o take_v the_o bread_n give_v thanks_o to_o god_n his_o father_n which_o he_o do_v in_o like_a manner_n when_o he_o take_v the_o cup_n and_o all_o for_o the_o redeem_n of_o mankind_n be_v it_o not_o a_o principal_a &_o chief_a point_n of_o our_o duty_n to_o render_v like_o

discharge_v that_o office_n now_o let_v we_o prove_v in_o like_a manner_n that_o their_o sacrifice_n can_v be_v avayleable_a nor_o forceable_a to_o please_v or_o to_o appease_v god_n nor_o any_o manner_n of_o way_n to_o procure_v or_o to_o obtain_v the_o remission_n of_o sin_n first_o a_o sacrifice_n to_o be_v of_o such_o a_o property_n must_v be_v perfect_a as_o moses_n teach_v we_o in_o the_o law_n when_o as_o by_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n he_o command_v so_o express_o that_o the_o beast_n which_o shall_v be_v offer_v unto_o he_o to_o shadow_v he_o shall_v be_v perfect_a &_o without_o blemish_n &_o whole_a of_o all_o their_o member_n but_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o man_n can_v be_v perfect_a because_o they_o themselves_o be_v unperfect_a and_o all_o their_o work_n unperfect_a have_v not_o in_o regard_n of_o their_o personne_n or_o of_o their_o righteousness_n any_o other_o perfection_n then_o that_o which_o be_v impute_v unto_o they_o by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n in_o the_o name_n and_o favour_n of_o jesus_n christ_n therefore_o it_o follow_v that_o they_o can_v offer_v nothing_o unto_o god_n that_o may_v make_v he_o well_o please_v and_o favourable_a unto_o sinner_n further_o it_o be_v require_v that_o all_o sacrifice_n as_o all_o other_o work_n shall_v be_v join_v with_o obedience_n &_o so_o by_o consequent_a that_o they_o shall_v be_v command_v for_o otherwise_o they_o shall_v be_v offer_v without_o faith_n &_o so_o become_v abominable_a before_o god_n yea_o the_o very_a sacrifice_n that_o jesus_n christ_n do_v make_v of_o his_o own_o body_n if_o it_o have_v not_o be_v foreappoint_v of_o his_o father_n have_v not_o be_v receive_v nor_o accept_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v that_o he_o make_v the_o great_a reckon_n and_o the_o great_a account_n of_o his_o obedience_n for_o thus_o he_o say_v 40.9_o psal_n 40.9_o burntoffer_v and_o sinoffer_v have_v thou_o not_o require_v then_o say_v i_o lo_o i_o come_v for_o in_o the_o roll_n of_o the_o book_n it_o be_v write_v of_o i_o that_o i_o shall_v do_v thy_o will_n o_o god_n s._n paul_n in_o like_a manner_n do_v attribute_v all_o the_o fruit_n and_o profit_n that_o come_v by_o the_o death_n of_o jesus_n christ_n to_o his_o obedience_n when_o he_o say_v that_o he_o become_v obedient_a to_o his_o father_n even_o until_o the_o death_n and_o therefore_o that_o god_n have_v high_o exalt_v he_o now_o let_v our_o preiste_n show_v we_o by_o scripture_n that_o god_n have_v command_v they_o to_o chaunte_v &_o to_o sing_v mass_n if_o they_o will_v have_v we_o to_o approve_v their_o sacrifice_n if_o they_o can_v do_v it_o no_o more_o can_v we_o without_o it_o avouch_v their_o sacrifice_n to_o have_v power_n and_o virtue_n to_o satisfy_v and_o to_o please_v god_n as_o they_o do_v hold_v neither_o yet_o that_o it_o be_v acceptable_a nor_o holy_a before_o god_n again_o the_o power_n of_o such_o a_o sacrifice_n must_v be_v eternal_a and_o infinite_a that_o it_o may_v surpass_v and_o exceed_v the_o disobedience_n of_o the_o first_o adam_n and_o as_o the_o one_o have_v spread_v abroad_o the_o poison_n thereof_o &_o a_o general_a calamity_n upon_o all_o the_o man_n in_o the_o world_n in_o what_o country_n time_n or_o age_n soever_o they_o have_v live_v so_o the_o obedience_n of_o the_o second_o adam_n be_v oppose_v to_o that_o of_o the_o first_o must_v bring_v a_o general_a blessing_n &_o felicity_n upon_o all_o they_o that_o be_v predestinate_a to_o eternal_a life_n to_o the_o end_n that_o where_o sin_n have_v abound_v 5._o rom._n 5._o there_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n may_v more_o abound_v but_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o a_o popish_a priest_n can_v have_v this_o virtue_n and_o power_n yea_o less_o than_o the_o ancient_a sacrifice_n of_o the_o priest_n of_o levi_n which_o be_v ordain_v &_o appoint_v of_o god_n and_o be_v a_o type_n and_o shadow_n of_o jesus_n christ_n then_o let_v we_o conclude_v against_o their_o opinion_n that_o it_o neither_o be_v nor_o can_v be_v sufficient_a to_o please_v god_n also_o the_o sacrifice_n wherewith_o god_n must_v be_v please_v and_o his_o wrath_n appease_v must_v be_v but_o one_o for_o otherwise_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v perfect_a if_o it_o be_v renew_v neither_o the_o power_n and_o virtue_n thereof_o infinite_a wherefore_o the_o priest_n that_o sing_v so_o many_o mass_n do_v evident_o declare_v by_o the_o multiply_a of_o their_o sacrifice_n that_o they_o be_v unperfect_a and_o therefore_o they_o can_v be_v propitiatory_a that_o be_v to_o say_v of_o nature_n and_o force_n to_o please_v and_o to_o satisfy_v god_n if_o they_o say_v as_o common_o they_o do_v that_o they_o offer_v jesus_n christ_n we_o answer_v first_o it_o can_v be_v so_o because_o jesus_n christ_n can_v die_v no_o more_o 9_o rom._n 6._o heb._n 9_o which_o must_v needs_o be_v if_o he_o be_v sacrifice_v again_o because_o there_o be_v no_o sacrifice_n without_o death_n secondlie_o this_o renew_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n shall_v be_v unprofitable_a and_o serve_v to_o no_o use_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n which_o by_o faith_n we_o do_v believe_v and_o obtain_v 10._o heb._n 10._o for_o where_o no_o remission_n be_v there_o be_v no_o more_o sacrifice_n for_o sin_n for_o if_o the_o end_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n be_v to_o sanctify_v and_o to_o perfect_v he_o for_o who_o it_o be_v offer_v what_o need_v we_o to_o have_v any_o more_o sacrifice_n see_v that_o by_o the_o sacrifice_n 7._o heb._n 7._o that_o jesus_n christ_n do_v offer_v unto_o god_n of_o his_o own_o body_n we_o be_v already_o sanctify_v and_o make_v holy_a for_o ever_o three_o it_o will_v be_v a_o great_a prejudice_n and_o a_o notorious_a injury_n to_o he_o if_o his_o sacrifice_n shall_v be_v renew_v and_o offer_v again_o by_o any_o other_o then_o by_o himself_o for_o if_o it_o be_v so_o then_o shall_v he_o be_v rob_v and_o spoil_v of_o his_o honour_n 7._o heb._n 7._o and_o the_o oblation_n that_o he_o make_v once_o of_o his_o body_n shall_v be_v repute_v and_o take_v as_o unperfect_a and_o insufficient_a for_o the_o renew_n be_v a_o certain_a reason_n and_o argument_n of_o imperfection_n and_o if_o there_o be_v other_o priest_n to_o offer_v gift_n and_o sacrifice_n for_o sin_n 8._o heb._n 8._o and_o jesus_n christ_n be_v yet_o abide_v upon_o the_o earth_n he_o shall_v be_v no_o priest_n at_o all_o for_o if_o he_o be_v priest_n he_o shall_v be_v priest_n alone_o neither_o can_v he_o have_v any_o fellow_n to_o be_v join_v and_o associate_v unto_o he_o in_o the_o preisthood_n no_o more_o then_o in_o his_o other_o office_n so_o we_o may_v be_v resolve_v that_o we_o ne_o have_v ne_o can_v have_v other_o priest_n to_o reconcile_v we_o to_o god_n than_o jesus_n christ_n ne_o other_o sacrifice_n then_o that_o which_o he_o have_v once_o offer_v to_o purchase_v unto_o we_o remission_n of_o all_o our_o sin_n and_o so_o he_o be_v both_o the_o priest_n and_o also_o the_o oblation_n as_o say_v s._n

other_o man_n so_o perfect_a as_o he_o be_v fit_a and_o capable_a to_o offer_v up_o the_o same_o body_n in_o sacrifice_n the_o three_o point_n which_o we_o have_v to_o consider_v in_o the_o mass_n be_v touch_v certain_a thing_n annex_v to_o the_o sacrifice_n and_o to_o the_o priesthood_n which_o point_n may_v brief_o and_o in_o few_o word_n be_v dispatch_v for_o they_o be_v confession_n
