A56741	A discourse of the sacrifice of the Mass	Payne, William, 1650-1696.	1688 (1688)	Wing P901; ESTC R19214	76,727	100

as_o the_o jew_n do_v upon_o the_o cross_n and_o yet_o without_o this_o they_o can_v true_o sacrifice_v he_o or_o proper_o offer_v he_o according_a to_o the_o apostle_n but_o this_o say_v their_o great_a champion_n the_o bishop_n of_o meaux_n be_v do_v mystical_o christ_n be_v mystical_o slay_v and_o do_v mystical_o suffer_v death_n upon_o the_o altar_n that_o be_v by_o way_n of_o

jesus_n christ_n have_v be_v evident_o set_v forth_o crucify_v among_o you_o now_o so_o christ_n may_v be_v crucify_v every_o time_n we_o hear_v or_o read_v his_o crucifixion_n lively_o represent_v to_o we_o as_o we_o may_v see_v a_o bloody_a tragedy_n without_o one_o drop_n of_o blood_n spill_v so_o christ_n may_v be_v mystical_o slay_v in_o the_o sacrament_n when_o his_o body_n be_v break_v and_o his_o blood_n pour_v out_o in_o mystery_n and_o representation_n but_o this_o be_v not_o true_a and_o proper_a offer_v which_o be_v necessary_a to_o make_v a_o true_a and_o proper_a sacrifice_n as_o they_o will_v have_v that_o of_o the_o mass_n to_o be_v if_o they_o will_v be_v content_v with_o a_o mystical_a sacrifice_n to_o represent_v and_o commemorate_v christ_n death_n that_o they_o know_v we_o be_v willing_a to_o allow_v and_o then_o a_o mystical_a suffering_n that_o be_v not_o a_o real_a and_o proper_a will_v be_v sufficient_a for_o a_o mystical_a that_o be_v not_o proper_a sacrifice_n but_o the_o suffering_n must_v be_v as_o true_a and_o proper_a as_o the_o sacrifice_n and_o if_o the_o one_o be_v but_o mystical_a the_o other_o must_v be_v so_o too_o if_o the_o bullock_n or_o goat_n of_o the_o sin-offering_n which_o be_v to_o be_v offer_v on_o the_o great_a day_n of_o atonement_n have_v be_v only_o mystical_o slay_v and_o mystical_o offer_v upon_o the_o altar_n they_o have_v be_v as_o real_o alive_a for_o all_o that_o as_o any_o that_o be_v in_o the_o field_n and_o have_v be_v no_o more_o true_a and_o proper_a sacrifice_n of_o atonement_n and_o expiation_n than_o they_o be_v for_o without_o shed_v of_o blood_n as_o the_o apostle_n say_v there_o be_v no_o remission_n heb._n 9.22_o it_o be_v the_o shed_n or_o pour_v out_o the_o blood_n in_o which_o the_o life_n be_v suppose_v to_o be_v and_o therefore_o the_o take_v away_o the_o life_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n that_o do_v real_o make_v the_o sacrifice_n to_o be_v true_o propitiatory_a or_o avail_v able_a before_o god_n as_o a_o price_n and_o recompense_n for_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n and_o how_o then_o can_v the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o mass_n be_v true_o propitiatory_a when_o the_o blood_n be_v not_o true_o shed_v when_o according_a to_o themselves_o it_o be_v incruentum_fw-la sacrificium_fw-la a_o unbloody_a sacrifice_n and_o therefore_o according_a to_o the_o apostle_n it_o can_v be_v propitiatory_a for_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n as_o will_v be_v further_o insist_v upon_o afterward_o thus_o we_o see_v how_o much_o there_o be_v in_o those_o clear_a place_n of_o scripture_n against_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o mass_n and_o how_o little_a there_o be_v for_o it_o in_o those_o dark_a one_o which_o be_v produce_v by_o our_o adversary_n three_o it_o have_v no_o just_a

run_v very_o low_a in_o scripture_n yet_o they_o pretend_v it_o carry_v all_o antiquity_n before_o it_o where_o nothing_o be_v more_o common_a than_o to_o have_v the_o name_n of_o oblation_n and_o sacrifice_n and_o host_n and_o victim_n attribute_v to_o the_o bless_a eucharist_n and_o to_o have_v it_o say_v that_o we_o do_v there_o offer_v and_o immolate_a and_o sacrifice_v unto_o god_n this_o we_o ready_o acknowledge_v and_o though_o we_o can_v by_o no_o mean_n allow_v antiquity_n to_o take_v place_n of_o scripture_n or_o to_o set_v up_o either_o a_o article_n of_o faith_n or_o essential_a part_n of_o worship_n which_o be_v not_o in_o scripture_n and_o our_o adversary_n seem_v to_o agree_v with_o we_o in_o this_o that_o there_o must_v be_v a_o divine_a institution_n for_o a_o

but_o that_o scripture_n and_o antiquity_n will_v be_v fair_o reconcile_v and_o be_v make_v very_o good_a friend_n in_o this_o point_n and_o both_o of_o they_o against_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o
