not_o do_v the_o like_a and_o because_o christ_n say_v that_o his_o blood_n be_v a_o confirmation_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n but_o the_o blood_n which_o do_v confirm_v the_o old_a be_v offer_v in_o this_o institution_n therefore_o it_o follow_v by_o a_o necessary_a consequence_n that_o christ_n himself_o also_o do_v offer_v it_o they_o argue_v also_o that_o christ_n have_v say_v do_v this_o in_o remembrance_n of_o i_o if_o he_o have_v not_o offer_v we_o can_v not_o do_v it_o and_o they_o say_v the_o lutheran_n have_v no_o other_o argument_n to_o prove_v the_o mass_n to_o be_v no_o sacrifice_n but_o because_o christ_n have_v not_o offer_v and_o therefore_o that_o opinion_n be_v dangerous_a as_o favour_v the_o heretical_a doctrine_n it_o be_v also_o more_o effectual_o prove_v because_o the_o church_n sing_v in_o the_o office_n of_o the_o body_n of_o our_o lord_n christ_n a_o priest_n for_o ever_o after_o the_o order_n of_o melchisedec_n have_v offer_v bread_n and_o wine_n and_o in_o the_o canon_n of_o the_o ambrosian_a missal_n it_o be_v say_v that_o institute_v a_o form_n of_o perpetual_a sacrifice_n he_o have_v first_o offer_v himself_o as_o a_o host_n and_o have_v first_o teach_v how_o to_o offer_v it_o afterward_o many_o authority_n of_o the_o father_n be_v produce_v to_o prove_v the_o same_o on_o the_o other_o part_n it_o be_v say_v with_o no_o less_o asseveration_n that_o christ_n divide_v in_o which_o the_o divine_n be_v much_o divide_v in_o the_o supper_n have_v command_v the_o oblation_n to_o be_v make_v for_o ever_o in_o the_o church_n after_o his_o death_n but_o that_o he_o have_v not_o offer_v himself_o because_o the_o nature_n of_o that_o sacrifice_n do_v not_o comport_v it_o and_o for_o proof_n hereof_o they_o say_v that_o the_o oblation_n of_o the_o cross_n will_v have_v be_v superfluous_a because_o mankind_n will_v have_v be_v redeem_v by_o that_o of_o the_o supper_n which_o go_v before_o that_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o altar_n be_v institute_v by_o christ_n for_o a_o memorial_n of_o that_o which_o he_o offer_v on_o the_o cross_n but_o there_o can_v be_v any_o memorial_n but_o of_o a_o thing_n past_a therefore_o the_o eucharist_n can_v not_o be_v a_o sacrifice_n before_o the_o oblation_n of_o christ_n on_o the_o cross_n they_o allege_v also_o that_o neither_o the_o scripture_n nor_o the_o canon_n of_o the_o mass_n nor_o any_o council_n ever_o say_v that_o christ_n offer_v himself_o in_o the_o supper_n and_o add_v that_o the_o place_n of_o the_o father_n before_o allege_a aught_o to_o be_v understand_v of_o his_o oblation_n on_o the_o cross_n they_o conclude_v that_o have_v to_o define_v the_o mass_n to_o be_v a_o sacrifice_n as_o indeed_o it_o be_v it_o may_v most_o effectual_o be_v do_v by_o
