the_o daily_a or_o often_o offer_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o quick_a and_o dead_a 4_o now_o touch_v this_o definition_n we_o be_v advise_o to_o consider_v how_o it_o can_v possible_o stand_v with_o the_o truth_n for_o if_o it_o be_v of_o necessity_n unto_o salvation_n to_o have_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n daily_o or_o oftentimes_o offer_v for_o sin_n then_o be_v it_o certain_a that_o christ_n by_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o his_o death_n upon_o the_o cross_n do_v not_o take_v it_o away_o and_o then_o be_v all_o these_o scripture_n confound_v which_o deny_v it_o needful_a to_o have_v any_o more_o oblation_n for_o sin_n or_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n any_o more_o offer_v for_o the_o same_o namely_o where_o the_o author_n to_o the_o hebrew_n say_v chapter_n 10.14_o 9.26_o heb._n 10.14_o heb._n 10.1_o heb._n 9.26_o for_o with_o one_o oblation_n have_v he_o consecrate_v for_o ever_o they_o that_o be_v sanctify_v and_o where_o he_o also_o say_v chapter_n 10.10_o we_o be_v sanctify_v even_o by_o the_o offering_n of_o the_o body_n of_o jesus_n christ_n once_o make_v and_o again_o where_o he_o further_o say_v chapter_n 9.26_o now_o in_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n have_v he_o appear_v once_o to_o put_v away_o sin_n by_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o himself_o 10.18_o heb._n 10.18_o and_o also_o where_o he_o conclude_v of_o this_o point_n thus_o chapter_n 10.18_o where_o remission_n of_o these_o thing_n be_v there_o be_v no_o more_o offering_n for_o sin_n wherefore_o if_o it_o be_v true_a that_o of_o necessity_n christ_n must_v continual_o be_v offer_v for_o sin_n then_o be_v these_o testimony_n most_o untrue_a but_o in_o that_o they_o be_v yea_o and_o amen_o they_o most_o true_o declare_v the_o definition_n of_o their_o mass_n to_o be_v false_a and_o that_o the_o necessity_n of_o daily_o sacrifice_v for_o sin_n be_v not_o ground_v upon_o the_o truth_n also_o see_v that_o under_o the_o gospel_n there_o must_v not_o only_o be_v but_o one_o only_a oblation_n for_o sin_n but_o also_o but_o once_o offer_v and_o that_o by_o christ_n himself_o the_o papist_n be_v condemn_v for_o notorious_a heretic_n that_o will_v have_v so_o many_o thousand_o oblation_n and_o so_o many_o time_n offer_v by_o other_o for_o do_v they_o not_o thereby_o make_v that_o one_o sacrifice_n of_o christ_n upon_o the_o cross_n as_o insufficient_a for_o the_o take_v away_o of_o sin_n as_o the_o daily_o sacrifice_v the_o body_n of_o beast_n and_o shed_v the_o blood_n of_o calf_n in_o moses_n law_n which_o be_v daily_o offer_v because_o they_o serve_v only_o

bring_n into_o the_o church_n the_o necessity_n of_o daily_o sacrifice_v for_o sin_n bring_v in_o with_o it_o the_o utter_a overthrow_n of_o the_o efficacy_n of_o christ_n death_n and_o
