that_o christ_n can_v be_v offer_v up_o often_o because_o than_o he_o must_v die_v often_o then_o this_o doctrine_n of_o you_o be_v against_o the_o scripture_n that_o say_v christ_n may_v be_v offer_v up_o often_o and_o yet_o not_o die_v often_o but_o if_o you_o will_v say_v this_o be_v speak_v of_o that_o bloody_a sacrifice_n i_o grant_v that_o and_o i_o say_v the_o apostle_n know_v not_o nor_o never_o speak_v of_o another_o sacrifice_n and_o therefore_o your_o doctrine_n be_v vain_a that_o will_v have_v another_o sacrifice_n than_o ever_o the_o apostle_n in_o the_o whole_a scripture_n have_v make_v mention_n of_o and_o i_o say_v three_o this_o distinction_n of_o you_o can_v stand_v with_o your_o own_o doctrine_n for_o if_o there_o be_v a_o true_a sacrifice_n of_o christ_n proper_o in_o your_o mass_n as_o you_o say_v than_o his_o blood_n must_v be_v true_o shed_v and_o he_o must_v true_o die_v for_o this_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o all_o such_o sacrifice_n for_o sin_n as_o bellarmin_n grant_v it_o lib._n 1._o de_fw-la missa_fw-la fol._n 725_o saying_n if_o there_o be_v not_o a_o true_a and_o real_a slaughter_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o mass_n then_o be_v not_o the_o mass_n a_o true_a and_o real_a sacrifice_n and_o also_o in_o all_o true_a real_a &_o external_a sacrifice_n the_o sacrifice_n must_v be_v a_o thing_n sensible_a and_o must_v be_v make_v holy_a of_o a_o profane_a thing_n as_o bellarmin_n confess_v and_o these_o condition_n he_o require_v in_o the_o definition_n of_o the_o same_o but_o this_o i_o hope_v you_o will_v not_o say_v of_o christ_n for_o he_o be_v holy_a always_o and_o be_v insensible_a in_o your_o sacrifice_n and_o can_v be_v slay_v again_o therefore_o proper_o there_o can_v be_v no_o true_a sacrifice_n of_o christ_n in_o your_o mass_n by_o your_o own_o doctrine_n to_o conclude_v this_o then_o for_o these_o cause_n we_o reject_v this_o abomination_n of_o your_o mass_n first_o because_o christ_n can_v be_v offer_v up_o in_o a_o sacrifice_n but_o he_o must_v die_v also_o as_o have_v be_v prove_v and_o the_o scripture_n testify_v that_o he_o have_v once_o die_v and_o all_o christian_n confess_v it_o second_o because_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n be_v a_o sufficient_a satisfaction_n for_o our_o sin_n and_o so_o we_o need_v not_o that_o he_o shall_v be_v offer_v up_o again_o to_o satisfy_v for_o the_o same_o three_o because_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n and_o faith_n by_o the_o outward_a mean_n of_o the_o word_n and_o sacrament_n and_o censure_n be_v a_o sufficient_a mean_n to_o apply_v he_o to_o we_o and_o so_o we_o need_v not_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o mass_n for_o that_o end_n four_o because_o christ_n only_o be_v the_o priest_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n who_o have_v no_o successor_n and_o who_o priesthood_n can_v pass_v from_o one_o to_o another_o because_o he_o live_v for_o evermore_o and_o he_o only_o can_v be_v sacrifice_v by_o himself_o and_o therefore_o he_o only_o can_v offer_v up_o himself_o which_o he_o have_v once_o do_v upon_o the_o cross_n five_o because_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o christ_n upon_o the_o cross_n be_v perfect_a and_o the_o virtue_n of_o it_o endure_v for_o ever_o and_o it_o can_v nor_o shall_v not_o be_v reiterate_v six_o because_o the_o scripture_n propones_fw-la christ_n now_o sit_v in_o glory_n at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o his_o majesty_n and_o not_o under_o the_o form_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n in_o your_o sacrifice_n and_o seventh_o because_o it_o be_v but_o the_o devise_n of_o man_n want_v god_n to_o bear_v witness_n to_o it_o in_o the_o scripture_n repugnant_a to_o that_o only_a one_o sacrifice_n of_o he_o upon_o the_o cross_n abolish_n the_o fruit_n of_o his_o death_n and_o passion_n turn_v the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o supper_n in_o abominable_a idolatry_n cause_v man_n to_o worship_v a_o bit_n of_o bread_n as_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o last_o because_o it_o spoil_v man_n of_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o sacrament_n therefore_o in_o all_o these_o respect_v it_o be_v abominable_a to_o be_v detest_v and_o in_o no_o sort_n to_o be_v communicate_v with_o unto_o this_o i_o will_v adjoin_v some_o testimony_n of_o some_o of_o the_o
