body_n &_o blood_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o altar_n be_v a_o true_a and_o a_o acceptable_a sacrifice_n unto_o god_n which_o ought_v to_o be_v offer_v in_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o bless_a office_n of_o the_o mass_n incessant_o for_o the_o quick_a &_o the_o dead_a until_o the_o come_n of_o chryst_n the_o answer_n sigh_v we_o have_v sufficient_o more_o before_o prove_v that_o the_o true_a body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o in_o the_o sacrament_n corporal_o it_o follow_v of_o necessity_n that_o the_o same_o can_v not_o be_v offer_v up_o in_o the_o mass_n by_o the_o priest_n but_o yet_o the_o romish_a church_n teach_v that_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n be_v corporal_o and_o substantial_o present_a and_o in_o the_o office_n of_o their_o mass_n offer_v up_o to_o god_n by_o the_o priest_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o quick_a and_o the_o dead_a and_o therefore_o ought_v to_o be_v worship_v but_o the_o form_n of_o the_o mass_n do_v not_o agree_v with_o the_o institution_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n but_o be_v increase_v by_o the_o long_a continuance_n of_o time_n with_o diverse_a addition_n right_n &_o ceremony_n so_o as_o gregorius_n the_o seven_o pope_n do_v confess_v that_o in_o his_o time_n the_o mass_n be_v not_o celebrate_v in_o all_o place_n of_o the_o world_n after_o one_o manner_n wherefore_o without_o all_o doubt_n the_o apostle_n peter_n james_n and_o mathewe_n do_v never_o celebrate_v the_o mass_n use_v in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n but_o be_v altogether_o ignorant_a thereof_o therefore_o the_o church_n of_o the_o gospel_n have_v by_o good_a right_n put_v away_o and_o abolish_v the_o romish_a mass_n and_o in_o the_o stead_n thereof_o have_v right_o and_o godly_a ordain_v the_o supper_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n which_o be_v godly_a celebrate_v in_o the_o old_a apostolical_a church_n without_o any_o of_o the_o pope_n or_o man_n tradition_n or_o addition_n and_o therefore_o to_o the_o foresay_a question_n we_o answer_v that_o we_o do_v not_o acknowledge_v nor_o receive_v the_o mass_n for_o the_o institution_n of_o god_n but_o flee_v from_o it_o as_o be_v contrary_a to_o our_o profession_n partly_o for_o cause_n already_o show_v and_o partly_o for_o such_o cause_n as_o hereafter_o we_o shall_v show_v but_o that_o we_o may_v the_o better_o know_v christian_n what_o sacrifice_n be_v we_o will_v here_o unto_o add_v a_o few_o word_n there_o be_v amongst_o the_o christian_n chief_o two_o kind_n of_o sacrifice_n the_o one_o propitiatory_a for_o the_o reconciliation_n and_o remission_n of_o sin_n and_o the_o other_o of_o thank_n give_v in_o which_o we_o exercise_v our_o faith_n serve_v god_n &_o geve_v he_o thanks_n both_o with_o word_n and_o deed_n for_o his_o benefit_n bestow_v upon_o we_o in_o the_o old_a testament_n the_o sacrifice_n propitiatory_a be_v shadow_v and_o figure_v by_o many_o figure_n yet_o be_v there_o but_o one_o thing_n which_o they_o all_o do_v signify_v to_o wit_n the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n offer_v on_o the_o cross_n wherefore_o after_o that_o christ_n come_v into_o the_o world_n and_o remain_v here_o a_o certain_a time_n that_o he_o may_v offer_v his_o body_n and_o blood_n on_o the_o cross_n for_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n he_o ordain_v â—n_z his_o supper_n the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o geâ—ing_n of_o his_o body_n and_o the_o shed_n of_o his_o â—loud_n call_v it_o the_o cup_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n in_o his_o blood_n wherefore_o this_o sacrament_n ought_v from_o hence_o forth_o onâ—â—_n to_o be_v in_o stead_n of_o all_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n which_o be_v figure_n and_o to_o witness_v that_o as_o christ_n by_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n be_v promise_v a_o saviour_n so_o in_o the_o â—ewe_a testament_n he_o be_v come_v and_o have_v perform_v it_o and_o so_o by_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o his_o body_n and_o blood_n have_v take_v away_o for_o ever_o all_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o faithful_a wherefore_o when_o our_o lord_n will_v ofâ—â—r_v sin_n himself_o upon_o the_o cross_n and_o that_o 〈…〉_o hour_n be_v come_v in_o which_o he_o will_v â—â—liver_v up_o his_o spirit_n &_o so_o by_o his_o death_n â—ll_a sin_n death_n and_o hell_n he_o cry_v with_o â—â—oud_a voice_n it_o be_v finish_v as_o who_o shall_v â—â—y_v that_o sacrifice_n be_v now_o end_v and_o fulfil_v in_o which_o all_o the_o figure_n and_o promise_n of_o the_o father_n be_v accomplish_v 〈…〉_o ne_o free_o pardon_v and_o eternal_a righteousness_n be_v obtain_v unto_o everlasting_a life_n and_o therefore_o so_o soon_o as_o our_o lord_n be_v dead_a and_o have_v in_o this_o sort_n offer_v up_o himself_o a_o sacrifice_n to_o god_n his_o heavenly_a father_n the_o veil_n of_o the_o temple_n rend_v in_o two_o piece_n great_a miracle_n be_v see_v both_o in_o the_o live_n and_o in_o the_o dead_a yea_o in_o heaven_n and_o in_o earth_n and_o thus_o do_v the_o old_a testament_n the_o levitical_a priesthood_n and_o all_o the_o other_o sacrifice_n take_v their_o end_n whereunto_o they_o be_v ordain_v therefore_o now_o rest_v but_o the_o one_o only_a and_o everlasting_a sacrifice_n of_o christ_n as_o the_o chief_a holy_a and_o most_o perfect_v and_o such_o be_v the_o property_n of_o this_o sacrifice_n that_o it_o neither_o can_v nor_o yet_o can_v be_v offer_v of_o any_o live_a man_n because_o not_o only_o for_o the_o excellency_n and_o holiness_n thereof_o but_o also_o because_o of_o the_o imperfection_n of_o man_n and_o therefore_o christ_n offer_v up_o himself_o that_o be_v to_o say_v give_v himself_o unto_o death_n and_o so_o become_v the_o one_o and_o everlasting_a bishop_n after_o the_o order_n of_o melchisedech_n as_o only_a bishop_n and_o sacrifice_n offer_v to_o god_n by_o himself_o only_o yea_o this_o sacrifice_n which_o he_o offer_v be_v but_o one_o that_o be_v to_o say_v once_o offer_v neither_o can_v it_o any_o more_o be_v offer_v again_o for_o that_o his_o one_o sacrifice_n be_v his_o death_n once_o make_v effectual_a that_o it_o only_o and_o for_o ever_o may_v be_v sufficient_a for_o all_o age_n for_o the_o reconciliation_n and_o remission_n of_o sin_n and_o because_o christ_n have_v suffer_v for_o we_o die_v be_v bury_v and_o arise_v again_o from_o the_o dead_a and_o ascend_v into_o heaven_n appear_v for_o ever_o even_o unto_o the_o last_o day_n as_o one_o sufficient_a sacrifice_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n for_o the_o full_a and_o perfect_v redemption_n of_o all_o the_o faithful_a that_o be_v sufficient_a neither_o need_v there_o any_o other_o sacrifice_n to_o be_v offer_v in_o the_o church_n for_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n wherefore_o if_o there_o be_v any_o that_o will_v offer_v a_o sacrifice_n for_o his_o sin_n he_o do_v manifest_o hereby_o declare_v that_o he_o do_v not_o believe_v that_o his_o sin_n be_v forgive_v he_o by_o the_o only_a
