Chap. of S. Paules Epistle to the Romans and 13. to the Hebreues But as to a Sacrifice for our sinnes daylie to be offered as wer the Sacrifices and oblations of the olde Testament appointed of God vnto the tyme of reformation we vnderstand that not onely haue we no neide so to do being now already purged by the blood of Christe but also whosoeuer he be that so doeth estemeth the Sacrifice of Christ insufficient which the Apostle affirmeth he offered ones for all on the Croce And as it is sayeth he appointed vnto mē that they shal ones die and after that cometh the iudgement so Christ wes ones offered to take away the sinnes of many and vnto them that loke for him shal appeare the Second tyme without sinne vnto Saluation From the 7. Chapiter vnto the middest of the 10. Chapiter he trauelleth at lenth in this mater finding no other faute with the Leuiticall Sacrifices but that they were daylie offered because they had not strenth to expell sinne at ones and therefore inferreth that Christes Sacrifice wes the consumation and end of them and all other Sacrifices for sinnes Forasmuche as he by one oblatiō hath done that thing to wit consecrated for euer them that are Sanctified which they be so often offerring Sacrificing could not do concluding that where remission of sinne is there resteth no more offerring for sinne Cursed be he thē that offereth for sinne any more seing the holy Ghoste hath concluded the contrarie As to your masse ye shal haue our iudgement of it in few wordes and what we do mislyke in it Firste we mislyke the persone that sayeth it and iudgeth him to be a blasphemer of Christes death because he taketh vpon him the office of Christe namely he vndertaketh by that Sacrifice which he offered to pacifie the wrathe of God the Father conceaued against aswel his own sinnes as the sinnes of them for whome he offereth whither they be aliue or dead But this can no man do but Christ alone for of him and to him alone were these wordes spoken out of the heauen by the mouth of his Father This is my welbeloued Sonne in whome I am well pleased heare him wherefore your preist in his masse taking the aforesaid office vpon him doeth all that in him lyeth to spoyle Christ of his dignitie therefor worthie to be iudged a fals Christ and a traytor to mans Saluation for if Christe pronounceth in the Euangel all suche as came before him vsurpinge the name of Messiah or tytle of Sauioures to be theues and murtherers How muche more worthie are they of that name that dare presume to be Sauioures ather of them sellues or others now when he is come and parfited the worke of our Redemption Secondly we mislyke the whole action of your masse which from the beginning to the end is nothing els but als plaine an Antithesis or cōtraposition to the Lordes Supper as lyght is to darck nes or treuth to falshead First the Lord Iesus when he institute this Sacrament and did minister it I dout not moste sincerely to his Apostles wes no other wayes clothed then his common custome wes And your preistes after whose ordoure I can not tell for Arons preistes they wil not grant them selues to be and according to Melchisedeces ordour there wes neuer one but Christ then must they be Baals chaplanes they I say dissagysed lyke players euerie peice of their cote cōteining a mysterie proceadeth to their masse The Lorde Iesus sat doune with the 12. Apostles They stand at an alter alone he gaue thankes vnto the Father before the Ministration and they before their masse rehearseth there blasphemous Confiteor wherein euerie S. in heauen is made equall or as we say Iakfellow lyke vnto the Eternal God He preached the confortable promises of Saluation mixed with exhortations to mutuall loue ād amitie c. In that language that they all might vnderstand they nether preach nor exhort but occupyeth the tyme with speaking to the wall and now then for the manersakes one word or two turning them to the people in a strange language that nether the people nor the grea test part of those god makers them selues vnderstandeth In giuing the Apostles the bread the Lorde Iesus declared vnto them in plaine wordes what it signifieth namely his bodie which should be brokē for them In these wordes take eat this is my bodie which is broken for you They round and whisper their wordes with a certane magical susurration as if it were treason to speak them that the people might heare saying hoc est enim corpus meum adding this word enim at their owne hand but this is not done without a mysterie for to this end say they do we it that as the Uirgin conceaued Christe with these fyue wordes Fiat michi secundū verbum tuum so we may make Christe of bread by other fyue wordes distinctly vnder one
