which_o reason_n it_o shall_v follow_v that_o if_o our_o saviour_n christ_n be_v often_o and_o continual_o offer_v than_o his_o sacrifice_n which_o he_o offer_v upon_o the_o cross_n be_v imperfect_a and_o unable_a to_o take_v away_o sin_n which_o if_o it_o be_v false_a and_o blasphemous_a to_o affirm_v than_o christ_n be_v not_o continual_o to_o be_v offer_v in_o the_o mass_n and_o hereupon_o i_o do_v make_v a_o argument_n those_o sacrifice_n which_o cease_v not_o to_o be_v offer_v for_o sin_n can_v purge_v sin_n but_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o mass_n cease_v not_o to_o be_v offer_v for_o sin_n therefore_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o mass_n can_v purge_v sin_n the_o first_o proposition_n of_o this_o syllogism_n be_v prove_v by_o the_o apostle_n hebr._n 10._o 12._o as_o i_o have_v before_o declare_v the_o second_o proposition_n can_v of_o they_o be_v deny_v as_o i_o will_v it_o may_v and_o therefore_o the_o conclusion_n must_v needs_o follow_v or_o otherwise_o i_o make_v the_o argument_n thus_o that_o sacrifice_n which_o be_v perfect_a and_o able_a to_o take_v away_o sin_n be_v not_o to_o be_v repeat_v but_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o christ_n upon_o the_o cross_n be_v perfect_a and_o able_a to_o take_v away_o sin_n therefore_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o to_o be_v repeat_v an_o other_o absurdity_n will_v follow_v that_o if_o christ_n be_v often_o 25._o hebr._n 9_o 25._o offer_v in_o the_o mass_n than_o he_o do_v often_o suffer_v and_o die_v for_o so_o the_o apostle_n say_v not_o that_o he_o shall_v offer_v himself_o often_o as_o the_o high_a

christ_n do_v not_o often_o suffer_v and_o die_v rom._n 6._o therefore_o he_o be_v not_o often_o offer_v another_o reason_n i_o will_v use_v against_o the_o feign_a sacrifice_n of_o the_o mass_n in_o this_o sort_n without_o shed_v of_o blood_n there_o be_v no_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n but_o in_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o mass_n there_o be_v no_o shed_n of_o blood_n therefore_o by_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o mass_n there_o be_v no_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n and_o so_o consequent_o it_o be_v no_o sacrifice_n propitiatory_a for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o quick_a and_o the_o dead_a the_o first_o proposition_n be_v the_o very_a word_n of_o the_o apostle_n heb._n 9_o 22._o the_o second_o they_o do_v grant_v themselves_o in_o call_v it_o a_o unbloudy_a sacrifice_n and_o therefore_o the_o

by_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o christ_n upon_o the_o cross_n we_o have_v forgiveness_n of_o sin_n therefore_o thereis_n no_o more_o offer_v for_o sin_n the_o first_o proposition_n be_v the_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n the_o second_o i_o hope_v this_o catholic_a gentlewoman_n and_o her_o favourer_n will_v not_o deny_v therefore_o the_o conclusion_n must_v needs_o be_v true_a &_o so_o consequent_o
