for_o jesus_n christ_n be_v then_o the_o only_a sacrificer_n as_o the_o romish_a doctor_n say_v and_o the_o apostle_n do_v not_o then_o exercise_v the_o function_n of_o sacrifice_a priest_n beside_o it_o belong_v to_o pastor_n and_o those_o that_o administer_v the_o sacrament_n be_v public_a person_n to_o give_v but_o to_o private_a person_n to_o receive_v only_o but_o the_o apostle_n in_o the_o celebration_n of_o the_o eucharist_n do_v only_o receive_v of_o jesus_n christ_n their_o master_n and_o pastor_n therefore_o they_o receive_v the_o command_n to_o drink_v of_o the_o cup_n as_o they_o

and_o that_o those_o priest_n that_o do_v not_o sacrifice_v must_v communicate_v under_o the_o species_n of_o the_o bread_n only_o for_o at_o that_o time_n the_o apostle_n do_v not_o sacrifice_v to_o this_o may_v be_v add_v that_o if_o the_o command_n of_o jesus_n christ_n drink_v you_o all_o of_o it_o be_v speak_v to_o pastor_n only_o because_o they_o to_o who_o christ_n speak_v be_v pastor_n than_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o command_n of_o jesus_n christ_n take_v eat_v be_v speak_v to_o pastor_n because_o they_o to_o who_o jesus_n christ_n speak_v be_v pastor_n and_o so_o the_o people_n

as_o we_o do_v by_o partake_v of_o the_o bread_n and_o this_o be_v very_o proper_a for_o see_v that_o not_o only_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n be_v break_v but_o also_o his_o blood_n shed_v on_o the_o

of_o the_o same_o my_o name_n shall_v be_v great_a among_o the_o gentile_n and_o in_o every_o place_n shall_v they_o offer_v incense_n to_o my_o name_n and_o a_o new_a and_o pure_a offering_n where_o by_o this_o new_a and_o pure_a offer_v nothing_o can_v be_v understand_v but_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o mass_n because_o by_o this_o offering_n we_o can_v understand_v prayer_n alm_n contrition_n

and_o the_o prophet_n speak_v of_o a_o pure_a and_o clean_a offering_n again_o by_o this_o offering_n which_o malachi_n speak_v of_o can_v be_v understand_v lamb_n bull_n and_o such_o like_a animal_n which_o be_v wont_a to_o be_v sacrifice_v in_o solomon_n temple_n because_o the_o prophet_n promise_v that_o it_o shall_v be_v offer_v in_o every_o place_n even_o among_o the_o heathen_a last_o by_o this_o offering_n can_v be_v understand_v the_o bloody_a sacrifice_n which_o jesus_n christ_n offer_v on_o the_o cross_n because_o that_o bloody_a sacrifice_n be_v offer_v but_o once_o upon_o mount_n calvary_n in_o judea_n and_o the_o prophet_n speak_v of_o a_o oblation_n that_o shall_v be_v offer_v in_o every_o place_n therefore_o by_o this_o offering_n must_v be_v understand_v the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n under_o the_o species_n of_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n which_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o mass_n answer_n 17._o to_o this_o i_o answer_v first_o that_o by_o the_o offering_n whereof_o malachy_n speak_v must_v be_v understand_v that_o spiritual_a worship_n and_o service_n which_o believer_n shall_v perform_v unto_o god_n under_o the_o new_a

whence_o it_o appear_v that_o by_o this_o oblation_n whereof_o malachy_n speak_v we_o must_v not_o understand_v the_o offering_n of_o christ_n body_n and_o blood_n under_o the_o accident_n of_o

of_o its_o essence_n which_o i_o prove_v because_o neither_o our_o lord_n nor_o his_o apostle_n do_v make_v this_o oblation_n at_o the_o first_o as_o we_o have_v demonstrate_v out_o of_o gregory_n

and_o permanent_a from_o these_o last_o word_n viz._n that_o the_o lawful_a minister_n destroy_v something_o that_o be_v sensible_a i_o form_n two_o argument_n which_o destroy_v the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o mass_n the_o first_o be_v this_o in_o every_o sacrifice_n the_o thing_n sacrifice_v must_v fall_v under_o our_o sense_n for_o our_o adversary_n say_v it_o be_v a_o sensible_a thing_n but_o the_o

we_o find_v by_o experience_n therefore_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v pretend_v to_o be_v under_o the_o accident_n of_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n be_v not_o the_o thing_n sacrifice_v the_o second_o argument_n be_v this_o in_o every_o true_a sacrifice_n the_o thing_n sacrifice_v must_v be_v utter_o destroy_v that_o be_v it_o must_v be_v so_o change_v that_o it_o must_v cease_v to_o be_v what_o it_o be_v before_o as_o bellarmin_n say_v in_o express_a term_n in_o the_o place_n above_o cite_v but_o in_o the_o pretend_a sacrifice_n of_o the_o mass_n christ_n body_n and_o blood_n be_v not_o destroy_v for_o jesus_n christ_n die_v no_o more_o rom._n 6._o therefore_o in_o the_o pretend_a sacrifice_n of_o the_o mass_n the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n be_v

be_v not_o the_o thing_n sacrifice_v in_o the_o mass_n but_o it_o be_v christ_n body_n as_o it_o be_v under_o the_o species_n of_o the_o bread_n and_o that_o it_o be_v in_o reference_n to_o the_o species_n of_o the_o bread_n that_o christ_n body_n be_v sensible_a and_o visible_a second_o they_o answer_v that_o in_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o mass_n christ_n body_n be_v destroy_v in_o respect_n of_o its_o sacramental_a be_v but_o not_o in_o respect_n of_o its_o natural_a be_v for_o when_o it_o be_v eat_v in_o the_o sacrament_n it_o cease_v to_o be_v under_o the_o species_n of_o the_o bread_n 5_o to_o these_o answer_v i_o reply_v first_o that_o christ_n body_n be_v not_o visible_a by_o the_o species_n of_o the_o bread_n because_o as_o our_o adversary_n say_v that_o hide_v it_o from_o we_o and_o hinder_v we_o from_o see_v it_o and_o although_o a_o substance_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v visible_a and_o cognizable_a by_o its_o accident_n yet_o it_o be_v never_o so_o by_o the_o accident_n of_o another_o substance_n and_o consequent_o jesus_n christ_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v visible_a by_o his_o own_o accident_n but_o not_o by_o the_o accident_n of_o the_o bread_n which_o be_v just_a alike_o both_o in_o the_o consecrate_a and_o unconsecrated_a host_n and_o it_o be_v a_o ridiculous_a shift_n to_o say_v that_o christ_n body_n be_v visible_a under_o the_o species_n of_o the_o bread_n because_o that_o species_n be_v visible_a for_o as_o we_o can_v see_v wine_n that_o be_v in_o a_o hogshead_n because_o we_o see_v the_o hogshead_n and_o we_o can_v see_v money_n that_o be_v in_o a_o purse_n close_v because_o we_o see_v the_o purse_n so_o neither_o can_v we_o see_v the_o body_n under_o the_o species_n of_o the_o bread_n because_o we_o see_v the_o species_n for_o as_o our_o adversary_n say_v that_o species_n hinder_v we_o from_o see_v it_o 6._o second_o i_o say_v that_o by_o the_o sacramental_a be_v be_v understand_v only_o a_o accidental_a be_v of_o jesus_n christ_n for_o example_n his_o presence_n in_o the_o sacrament_n or_o else_o beside_o that_o be_v understand_v his_o substantial_a be_v too_o if_o his_o substantial_a be_v be_v also_o understand_v see_v the_o substantial_a be_v of_o a_o thing_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o its_o substance_n and_o nature_n than_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o if_o jesus_n christ_n be_v destroy_v in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o eucharist_n in_o respect_n of_o his_o substantial_a be_v he_o must_v also_o be_v destroy_v in_o respect_n of_o his_o natural_a be_v which_o be_v contrary_a to_o what_o the_o apostle_n say_v rom._n 6._o that_o jesus_n christ_n die_v no_o more_o if_o a_o accidental_a be_v of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v only_o understand_v for_o example_n his_o presence_n in_o the_o sacrament_n than_o these_o absurdity_n will_v follow_v viz._n first_o that_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o mass_n will_v be_v the_o sacrifice_n of_o a_o accident_n only_o and_o not_o of_o jesus_n christ_n because_o the_o presence_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v not_o jesus_n christ_n himself_o but_o a_o accident_n of_o he_o second_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o mass_n and_o that_o of_o the_o cross_n will_v not_o be_v the_o same_o sacrifice_n in_o reference_n to_o the_o thing_n sacrifice_v because_o jesus_n christ_n and_o his_o presence_n be_v not_o the_o same_o thing_n jesus_n christ_n be_v a_o substance_n and_o his_o presence_n a_o accident_n which_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o decision_n of_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n which_o have_v determine_v that_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o mass_n and_o that_o of_o the_o cross_n be_v the_o same_o in_o reference_n to_o the_o thing_n sacrifice_v three_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o the_o thing_n which_o be_v destroy_v in_o the_o sacrament_n be_v not_o the_o same_o with_o that_o which_o be_v produce_v there_o because_o there_o be_v only_o a_o accident_n destroy_v whereas_o a_o substance_n be_v produce_v by_o transubstantiation_n which_o be_v a_o substantial_a conversion_n as_o have_v be_v sufficient_o prove_v four_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o mass_n will_v be_v offer_v in_o the_o priest_n stomach_n only_o because_o this_o presence_n be_v not_o destroy_v till_o the_o priest_n have_v eat_v the_o host_n and_o consequent_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o mass_n will_v be_v
