of_o the_o true_a one_o and_o therefore_o not_o so_o proper_o call_v but_o in_o reference_n to_o the_o true_a one_o otherwise_o christ_n offering_n himself_o be_v not_o a_o true_a and_o real_a sacrifice_n nor_o he_o a_o true_a and_o real_a priest_n nor_o his_o cross_n a_o true_a and_o real_a altar_n but_o this_o to_o be_v false_a be_v apparent_a by_o scripture_n hebr._n 7._o the_o apostle_n make_v a_o distinction_n of_o a_o double_a priesthood_n one_o typical_a the_o other_o real_a that_o after_o the_o order_n of_o aaron_n this_o after_o the_o order_n of_o melchisedeck_v that_o to_o be_v

offer_v himself_o a_o sacrifice_n for_o sin_n so_o corinth_n the_o 9th_o and_o 10_o he_o plain_o disparage_v the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o law_n and_o make_v our_o saviour_n the_o only_a true_a and_o

all_o this_o to_o the_o communion_n table_n or_o though_o we_o allow_v christ_n to_o be_v a_o priest_n and_o his_o offering_n himself_o a_o true_a sacrifice_n and_o the_o cross_a a_o true_a altar_n

i_o answer_v they_o be_v so_o and_o so_o call_v in_o scripture_n and_o ancient_a father_n and_o all_o church_n to_o this_o time_n until_o some_o mushroom_n novil_n puritan_n spring_v up_o that_o out_o of_o ignorance_n and_o blind_a zeal_n will_v have_v suppress_v they_o that_o they_o be_v so_o i_o prove_v thus_o if_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o law_n and_o paschal_n lamb_n be_v such_o and_o so_o call_v by_o reason_n of_o the_o reference_n they_o have_v to_o the_o true_a sacrifice_n of_o christ_n upon_o the_o cross_n not_o yet_o exhibit_v then_o may_v the_o sacramental_a commemoration_n of_o

how_o unseasonable_a have_v it_o be_v to_o vindicate_v the_o violation_n of_o typical_a and_o legal_a sanctity_n which_o within_o few_o day_n after_o he_o be_v utter_o to_o abolish_v by_o his_o
