it_o a_o sacrifice_n without_o blord_n whereby_o be_v obtain_v remission_n of_o sin_n therefore_o in_o very_a truth_n they_o deny_v christ_n bloody_a sacrifice_n whilst_o they_o deny_v that_o christ_n have_v perfect_o merit_v remission_n of_o sin_n and_o invent_v another_o sacrifice_n for_o the_o purge_n of_o sin_n howsoever_o in_o word_n they_o profess_v that_o they_o offer_v no_o other_o sacrifice_n then_o that_o which_o christ_n offer_v for_o it_o be_v one_o thing_n for_o the_o same_o sacrifice_n to_o be_v often_o offer_v which_o can_v be_v verify_v of_o christ_n sacrifice_n and_o another_o thing_n for_o one_o sacrifice_n to_o be_v once_o offer_v and_o that_o sufficient_a to_o take_v away_o all_o sin_n which_o the_o scripture_n affirm_v of_o christ_n sacrifice_n for_o these_o

another_o lurk_v whereas_o they_o bear_v we_o in_o hand_n that_o by_o their_o mass_n they_o be_v able_a to_o obtain_v remission_n of_o sin_n and_o redemption_n of_o soul_n for_o such_o as_o be_v
