from_o the_o give_v of_o sin_n by_o the_o mediation_n and_o ministry_n of_o the_o priest_n &_o of_o that_o sacramental_a action_n this_o be_v yet_o more_o proper_o &_o singular_o true_a in_o the_o most_o sacred_a mystery_n of_o the_o eucharist_n christ_n be_v he_o that_o work_v that_o wonderful_a transubstantiation_n and_o conversion_n of_o bread_n into_o his_o body_n and_o of_o wine_n into_o his_o blood_n and_o the_o priest_n be_v no_o more_o but_o the_o instrument_n &_o minister_n that_o pronounce_v the_o word_n in_o the_o place_n &_o name_n of_o christ_n himself_o and_o so_o when_o the_o priest_n say_v in_o the_o canon_n he_o take_v bread_n into_o his_o sacred_a &_o venerable_a hand_n himself_o take_v the_o bread_n into_o his_o own_o sinful_a hand_n and_o though_o he_o say_v this_o be_v my_o body_n &_o this_o be_v my_o blood_n yet_o the_o conversion_n be_v not_o make_v into_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o the_o priest_n but_o into_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o our_o lord_n wherefore_o the_o holy_a father_n teach_v express_o that_o he_o by_o himself_o work_v these_o mystery_n and_o offer_v that_o sacrifice_n yet_o by_o the_o hand_n &_o ministry_n of_o the_o priest_n as_o s._n chrysostome_n affirm_v mat._n these_o be_v not_o work_n of_o human_a power_n he_o that_o do_v they_o in_o that_o supper_n the_o same_o now_o also_o do_v they_o we_o have_v the_o office_n of_o minister_n but_o he_o that_o work_v sanctify_v change_v be_v christ_n himself_n which_o thing_n be_v also_o define_v by_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n 2._o and_o for_o this_o reason_n be_v christ_n in_o the_o psalm_n term_v priest_n for_o ever_o according_a to_o the_o order_n of_o melchisedech_n 4._o for_o he_o shall_v not_o be_v term_v perpetual_a priest_n according_a to_o the_o order_n of_o melchisedech_n if_o he_o offer_v the_o sacrifice_n but_o only_o once_o but_o he_o be_v perpetual_a priest_n because_o he_o still_o offer_v the_o sacrifice_n by_o the_o ministry_n of_o priest_n and_o never_o cease_v to_o offer_v and_o shall_v not_o cease_v to_o offer_v unto_o the_o world_n end_n yea_o to_o speak_v more_o proper_o he_o only_o be_v the_o sole_a &_o principal_a priest_n for_o though_o we_o be_v term_v and_o be_v very_o priest_n yet_o we_o be_v so_o only_o as_o his_o instrument_n and_o deputy_n not_o his_o successor_n in_o priesthood_n but_o his_o substitute_n who_o offer_v in_o his_o name_n sacrifice_n yet_o the_o principal_a offerent_fw-la be_v only_a himself_o hence_o we_o may_v understand_v that_o difficile_a passage_n of_o s._n paul_n to_o the_o hebrew_n where_o he_o say_v that_o in_o the_o old_a law_n it_o be_v need_v there_o shall_v be_v many_o priest_n because_o they_o be_v mortal_a man_n and_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n that_o one_o shall_v succeed_v another_o that_o so_o priesthood_n may_v be_v continue_v but_o in_o the_o new_a law_n we_o have_v a_o eternal_a priest_n which_o live_v and_o continue_v for_o ever_o and_o so_o there_o be_v no_o necessity_n there_o shall_v be_v more_o than_o one_o as_o in_o very_a truth_n there_o be_v no_o more_o but_o only_o one_o that_o as_o principal_a cause_n and_o in_o his_o own_o name_n consecrate_v the_o mystery_n and_o offer_v the_o divine_a sacrifice_n and_o according_a to_o this_o the_o difference_n be_v that_o in_o the_o old_a law_n the_o child_n succeed_v in_o the_o priesthood_n unto_o their_o father_n not_o as_o their_o deputy_n or_o minister_n but_o as_o their_o successor_n in_o the_o sacerdotal_a office_n exercise_v the_o same_o with_o the_o selfsame_a authority_n as_o their_o predecessor_n but_o in_o the_o evangelicall_a christ_n only_o be_v the_o prinlicall_a priest_n who_o still_o actual_o offer_v sacrifice_v where_o &_o when_o he_o will_v have_v the_o same_o offer_v other_o priest_n though_o they_o have_v the_o name_n &_o office_n of_o priest_n yet_o they_o be_v not_o successor_n of_o christ_n nor_o do_v offer_n in_o their_o own_o name_n nor_o by_o that_o authority_n as_o he_o do_v use_v but_o as_o his_o instrument_n and_o minister_n for_o this_o reason_n the_o council_n of_o trent_n affirm_v in_o the_o prealledged_a place_n that_o though_o the_o priest_n be_v naught_o and_o a_o sinner_n this_o can_v not_o destroy_v nor_o diminish_v the_o value_n and_o efficacy_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n for_o this_o depend_v of_o and_o be_v answerable_a unto_o the_o worthiness_n of_o the_o principal_a offerent_fw-la and_o not_o of_o the_o instrument_n as_o be_v make_v clear_a by_o this_o example_n if_o a_o prince_n give_v a_o great_a alm_n and_o send_v it_o by_o the_o hand_n of_o his_o servant_n though_o the_o servant_n be_v naught_o and_o a_o sinner_n and_o give_v it_o with_o a_o ill_a will_n yet_o the_o alm_n thereby_o lose_v nothing_o of_o his_o goodness_n and_o merit_n because_o this_o depend_v of_o the_o will_n and_o virtue_n of_o he_o that_o be_v the_o principal_a giver_n thereof_o though_o he_o use_v another_o hand_n in_o this_o sort_n we_o how_o wicked_a soever_o we_o be_v can_v hinder_v or_o impair_v the_o virtue_n of_o the_o sacrament_n because_o we_o be_v no_o more_o they_o minister_n and_o instrument_n celebrate_v in_o the_o person_n of_o christ_n jesus_n our_o lord_n hence_o it_o follow_v that_o it_o be_v a_o great_a honour_n and_o privilege_n of_o the_o sacred_a mystery_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n that_o such_o a_o priest_n &_o bishop_n do_v consecrate_v &_o perform_v they_o this_o s._n paul_n ponder_v when_o he_o say_v it_o be_v decent_a that_o we_o shall_v have_v such_o a_o priest_n holy_a innocent_a unspotted_a sever_v from_o sinner_n and_o high_a than_o the_o heaven_n for_o the_o law_n appoint_v priest_n subject_a to_o infirmity_n but_o the_o word_n of_o the_o father_n appoint_v the_o son_n for_o ever_o perfect_a oh_o let_v all_o creature_n bless_v our_o god_n for_o ever_o that_o will_v honour_v and_o grace_v we_o by_o give_v we_o for_o our_o priest_n and_o bishop_n not_o any_o person_n less_o than_o his_o only_o beget_v son_n and_o make_v we_o his_o minister_n in_o work_v so_o sovereign_a sacrament_n but_o it_o be_v to_o be_v note_v that_o christ_n our_o lord_n be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o sole_a highpriest_n and_o principal_a offerent_fw-la of_o the_o holy_a mystery_n not_o only_o for_o the_o reason_n declare_v already_o because_o all_o ooth_a priest_n offer_v and_o consecrate_v they_o in_o his_o name_n by_o his_o authority_n and_o as_o his_o minister_n for_o though_o this_o cause_n be_v good_a and_o sufficient_a in_o case_n there_o be_v no_o other_o yet_o the_o more_o principal_a excellent_a and_o admirable_a cause_n be_v because_o christ_n himself_o true_o and_o real_o be_v present_a at_o as_o many_o time_n and_o in_o as_o many_o mystery_n as_o the_o most_o sacred_a mystery_n be_v consecrate_v and_o he_o concurre_v thereunto_o as_o principal_a and_o efficient_a cause_n to_o work_v and_o bring_v they_o to_o effect_v by_o mean_n of_o the_o priest_n who_o be_v his_o instrument_n &_o vicegerent_n hence_o also_o proceed_v that_o the_o representation_n of_o the_o mystery_n of_o the_o life_n &_o death_n of_o our_o saviour_n make_v in_o the_o mass_n be_v so_o lively_a proper_a and_o natural_a that_o many_o father_n be_v not_o content_a so_o say_v that_o the_o mass_n be_v a_o representation_n of_o the_o mystery_n of_o our_o

the_o canon_n which_o we_o use_v when_o we_o take_v the_o chalice_n to_o consecrate_v it_o in_o like_a manner_n when_o supper_n be_v end_v take_v also_o this_o excellent_a chalice_n which_o signify_v that_o the_o chalice_n we_o now_o drink_v be_v the_o same_o that_o christ_n consecrate_v and_o give_v to_o his_o apostle_n not_o the_o same_o chalice_n of_o silver_n for_o that_o these_o be_v different_a &_o this_o be_v it_o the_o same_o or_o not_o the_o same_o make_v not_o much_o to_o the_o purpose_n but_o chalice_n be_v take_v for_o the_o drink_n contain_v therein_o as_o we_o common_o say_v that_o a_o pot_n of_o water_n be_v drink_v up_o not_o the_o pot_n itself_o but_o the_o water_n thereof_o and_o this_o speech_n be_v use_v because_o wine_n can_v be_v take_v into_o our_o hand_n but_o in_o the_o cup_n and_o so_o it_o can_v not_o be_v say_v that_o he_o take_v the_o wine_n into_o his_o hand_n in_o the_o manner_n as_o he_o be_v say_v to_o have_v take_v the_o bread_n and_o for_o this_o reason_n we_o say_v he_o take_v the_o chalice_n and_o because_o that_o which_o be_v contain_v in_o our_o chalice_n when_o we_o take_v it_o into_o our_o hand_n be_v a_o thing_n of_o the_o same_o
