chrysostom_n declare_v at_o length_n that_o the_o priest_n of_o the_o old_a law_n offer_v ever_o new_a sacrifice_n and_o change_v they_o from_o time_n to_o time_n and_o that_o christian_a people_n

every_o day_n we_o make_v a_o sacrifice_n of_o christ_n yet_o in_o very_a deed_n to_o speak_v proper_o we_o make_v no_o sacrifice_n of_o he_o but_o only_o a_o commemoration_n and_o remembrance_n of_o

nor_o do_v not_o ordain_v the_o sacrament_n of_o his_o holy_a supper_n to_o the_o intent_n that_o either_o the_o priest_n or_o the_o people_n shall_v sacrifice_v christ_n again_o or_o that_o the_o priest_n shall_v make_v a_o sacrifice_n of_o he_o for_o the_o people_n but_o his_o holy_a supper_n be_v ordain_v for_o this_o purpose_n that_o every_o man_n eat_v and_o drink_n thereof_o shall_v remember_v that_o christ_n die_v for_o he_o and_o so_o shall_v exercise_v his_o faith_n and_o comfort_v himself_o by_o the_o remembrance_n of_o christ_n benefit_n and_o so_o geve_v unto_o christ_n most_o hearty_a thanks_n and_o geve_v himself_o also_o clear_o unto_o he_o wherefore_o the_o ordinance_n of_o christ_n ought_v to_o be_v follow_v the_o priest_n to_o minister_v the_o sacrament_n to_o the_o people_n and_o they_o to_o use_v it_o to_o their_o consolation_n and_o in_o this_o eat_n drink_n and_o use_v of_o the_o lord_n supper_n we_o make_v not_o of_o christ_n a_o new_a sacrifice_n

that_o it_o be_v apply_v by_o the_o priest_n to_o they_o for_o who_o he_o say_v or_o sing_v they_o which_o so_o gather_v of_o the_o doctor_n do_v to_o they_o most_o grevous_a injury_n and_o wrong_n

and_o blood_n of_o the_o lord_n but_o there_o be_v then_o no_o daily_a private_a mass_n where_o every_o priest_n receive_v alone_o like_a as_o until_o this_o day_n there_o be_v none_o in_o the_o

that_o no_o priest_n will_v receive_v the_o communion_n at_o a_o other_o priest_n hand_n but_o every_o one_o will_v receive_v it_o alone_o 8._o neither_o regard_v the_o godly_a decree_n of_o the_o

father_n myslike_v that_o any_o priest_n shall_v receive_v the_o sacrament_n alone_o therefore_o when_o the_o old_a father_n call_v the_o mass_n or_o supper_n of_o the_o lord_n a_o sacrifice_n they_o mean_v that_o it_o be_v a_o sacrifice_n of_o laudes_fw-la and_o thanks_n geve_v and_o so_o aswell_o the_o people_n as_o the_o priest_n do_v sacrifice_n or_o else_o that_o it_o be_v a_o remembrance_n of_o the_o very_a true_a sacrifice_n propitiatory_a of_o christ_n but_o they_o mean_v in_o no_o wise_a that_o it_o be_v a_o very_a true_a sacrifice_n for_o sin_n and_o applicable_a by_o the_o priest_n to_o the_o quick_a and_o dead_a for_o the_o priest_n may_v well_o minister_v christ_n word_n and_o sacrament_n to_o all_o man_n both_o good_a and_o bad_a but_o he_o can_v apply_v the_o benefit_n of_o
