sacrament_n there_o be_v not_o any_o new_a sacrifice_a or_o offer_v up_o of_o christ_n to_o expiate_v sin_n but_o only_o a_o commemoration_n of_o his_o death_n a_o memorial_n of_o that_o one_o sacrifice_n which_o he_o offer_v unto_o his_o father_n when_o he_o offer_v up_o himself_o upon_o the_o cross_n for_o we_o the_o romanist_n be_v strong_o persuade_v that_o as_o the_o substance_n of_o christ_n natural_a body_n be_v real_o in_o the_o host_n so_o he_o be_v real_o true_o and_o literal_o sacrifice_v there_o as_o a_o propitiatory_a oblation_n both_o for_o the_o live_n and_o the_o dead_a too_o but_o it_o be_v a_o modest_a censure_n to_o say_v for_o it_o be_v the_o the_o least_o we_o can_v say_v of_o this_o conceit_n that_o it_o be_v a_o very_a fond_a and_o groundless_a fancy_n because_o neither_o from_o our_o saviour_n word_n at_o the_o institution_n nor_o from_o st._n paul_n repeat_v the_o story_n nor_o from_o the_o nature_n and_o analogy_n of_o this_o feast_n can_v we_o gather_v any_o thing_n that_o give_v colour_n to_o this_o principle_n it_o be_v apparent_a every_o way_n that_o christ_n intend_v this_o mystery_n not_o that_o he_o shall_v suffer_v in_o it_o a_o fresh_a or_o be_v sacrifice_v in_o it_o afresh_o but_o that_o we_o shall_v thereby_o commemorate_v and_o show_v forth_o his_o passion_n in_o golgotha_n indeed_o in_o some_o case_n the_o same_o thing_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o commemoration_n of_o a_o sacrifice_n and_o a_o true_a sacrifice_n also_o as_o the_o paschal_n lamb_n at_o jerusalem_n be_v true_o a_o sacrifice_n and_o a_o memorial_n too_o of_o the_o lamb_n that_o be_v sacrifice_v in_o egypt_n but_o it_o can_v be_v say_v to_o be_v so_o in_o this_o case_n because_o it_o be_v contradictory_n to_o the_o apostle_n argumentation_n in_o heb._n 10_o where_o he_o show_v that_o christ_n sacrifice_v of_o himself_o have_v this_o prerogative_n this_o dignity_n above_o all_o legal_a oblation_n that_o it_o need_v not_o as_o the_o other_o do_v any_o repeat_v whereas_o the_o sacrifice_n under_o the_o law_n be_v offer_v year_n by_o year_n continual_o and_o every_o priest_n stand_v minister_a and_o offer_v oftentimes_o the_o same_o sacrifice_n christ_n our_o high_a priest_n offer_v one_o perfect_a sacrifice_n for_o sin_n for_o ever_o and_o so_o sit_v down_o on_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o god_n by_o that_o one_o offer_v of_o himself_o have_v perfect_v for_o ever_o they_o that_o be_v sanctify_v and_o have_v sanctify_v they_o through_o the_o offering_n of_o his_o own_o body_n once_o for_o all_o so_o that_o unless_o we_o will_v give_v the_o apostle_n the_o lie_n we_o can_v affirm_v any_o propitiatory_a sacrifice_n to_o be_v in_o this_o mystery_n it_o be_v true_a this_o bless_a sacrament_n be_v call_v a_o sacrifice_n
