aunswere that Christ was neuer offered to the death for our redemption but ones and yet otherwise was he offered many times both of him selfe and of his creatures We reade in the Prophete Daniel that Aungels offered him in the syght of hys father And also y t the blessed virgine his mother offered him at hir purificatioÌ„ of whych offeryng S. Bernard saith Ista oblatio fratres satis delicata uidetur ubi tantum sistitur domino redimitur auibus ilico reportatur Thys oblation brethren is very delicate where he is onely presented to our Lorde redemed with birdes and by and by brought home agayne And therfore we aunswere them that their argumente is of no strength to confute one truth by an other when bothe may be true as to reasoÌ„ christ was but ones offered vpon y e crosse ergo he was not offered in the sacrament And we tell them that they do not considre howe Christe is offered three wayes of hym selfe and also three wayes of man First he offered him selfe vpoÌ„ the crosse really and corporallye as Isaias sayeth oblatus est quia uoluit Thys is manifest ynoughe And here their exclamacions of ones ones hath very good place Secondly he offered hym selfe figuratyuelye in the paschall lambe For the scripture saythe the lambe was slayne from the begynninge of the worlde and the fathers in the olde lawe in all their sacrifices dyd offre Christe not in substaunce but in figure and so Christe offeryng the paschall lambe at hys supper offered him selfe in figure Thirdly Christ offereth him selfe in heauen reallye and so continually as the same chapiter which they bryng agaynst the Masse doth testifye Non in manufacta sancta Iesus intro iuit exemplaria uerorum sed in ipsum coelum ut appareat nunc uultui Dei pro nobis Iesus entered not into a temple made wyth mans hande a figure of the trueth but into heauen that he myghte appeare now to the countenaunce of God for vs. What is this appearyng in the syght of GOD for vs but an offerynge of hym selfe for vs to pacifye the angre of god with vs to represente hys woundes and all that he suffered for vs that we mighte be reconciled to God by hym Thys is the true and perpetuall oblation of Christ in coÌ„parison of thys in heauen the bloudye oblation vpon the crosse is but an ymage as S. Ambrose sayeth Hic umbra hic imago illic ueritas umbra in lege imago in Euangelio ueritas in coelestibus antÃ¨ agnus offerebatur uitulus nunc Christus of fertur sed offertur quasi homo quasi recipiens passionem offert se ipse quasi Sacerdos ut peccata nostra dimittat hic in imagine ibi in ueritate ubi apud patrem pro nobis quasi aduocatus interuenit Here in thys worlde there is a shadowe here there is an ymage there in heauen is trueth the shadowe in the law the ymage in the gospell the trueth in heauen Before a lambe and calfe were offered nowe Christ is offered but he is offered as manne and receauynge passion and he offereth hym selfe as being a priest to take our synnes away here in ymage there in truethe where wyth the father as an aduocate he maketh intercession for vs The same thynge he wryteth also vpon the .38 Psalme So that it is verye playne wythout all controuersy that Christe dothe offre hym selfe nowe moste perfectly in heauen for vs beynge our aduocate to the father face to face and as S. Iohn sayeth Ipse est propitiatio pro peccatis nostris He is a sacrifice propitiatorye for our synnes he sayth not he was but is and after the most perfytest maner that can be in respecte whereof the verye true and reall oblation for oure redemption vpon the crosse is an ymage So that by thys we see by the playne Scrypture that Christe offered hym selfe thre wayes besyde the oblation of hym selfe in hys supper which is the poynte we be aboute to declare And euen so is he offered of manne three wayes lykewyse Fyrste fyguratiuelye in the oblation of the olde Testament When Abraham beynge aboute to offre hys owne deare sonne and by GODS prouision offered in hys stede a ramme and when Melchisedech offered breade and wine and the Iewes the Paschall lambe and their burnte offerynges what dyd they offre but Christe in fygure whose passion those offerynges dyd sygnifye Whyche offerynges dydde of them selfe worke nothynge inwardlye and therfore were called Iustitia carnis the ryghtewesnes of the flesh â–ª but by them they dydde proteste their synne and declared their fayth of whome they looked to haue remission Secondly we offre Christe mysticallye in oure daylye sacrifice of the Masse where Christe is by hys omnipotent power presented to vs in the Sacramente and of vs agayne represented to his and our father and his passion renewed not by sufferynge of death agayne but after an vnbloudye maner not for thys ende that we shoulde thereby deserue remission of oure synnes but that by our fayth deuotion and thys representation of hys passion we moste humblye praye almyghtye GOD to applye vnto vs by Christe that remission whych was purchased and deserued by his passion before The hoste of these two sacrifices vpon the crosse and vpon the aultare is all one in substaunce but the maner is diuers and the ende is diuerse that by this meanes as christe him selfe hathe instituted we myght celebrate and make commemoration of his passion This is onely the sacrifice of the prieste by publycke ministracion but verely and in affection it is the sacrifice of the whole churche whiche euery membre of the Churche dothe vse and frequente and no man dothe impugne it but he that professeth open warre agaynste the churche Thirdely christe is offered by man spiritually onely by y e meditation of our mynde when we thynke and remembre his passion and in our deuoute prayer beseche god to showe vs mercy for it Thus euerye Christen manne and womanne in all places and tymes vpon the aultare of hys owne hearte oughte to offre Christe too the father after whiche sorte of spirituall oblation we be all both menne and women Priestes and kinges beinge as Saynte Peter sayeth Sacerdotium sanctum offerentes spirituales hostias acceptabiles Deo per Iesum Christum An holye Priesthoode offerynge spirituall Sacryfices acceptable to God by Iesus Christ. Nowe considerynge these thre wayes shal it be a good argument to inculcate one waye and to reiecte the rest To alledge one membre of a diuision to the reiection of the other This is the peculiar maner of the heritikes the enemies of Christ as thei dyd in the matter of the Sacrament by the spiritual eatynge of Christ to confute reiect the reall and corporall eatynge of christes bodye in the Sacrament Suche shiftes and fonde argumentes they haue to seduce the vnlearned wythall whiche when they be espied and detected they appeare as they be

Israell The lyke sayinges he hath wrytynge vpon the .106 Psalme and in hys booke contra aduersarium legis lib. 1. ca. 20. which I omit lest I shuld be tedious to you and to curiouse in so playne a matter Ye haue heard the thynge proued by the Gospell by the Prophet now heare the profe of the figure taken oute of the lawe The Psalme sayeth Tu es sacerdos in aeternum secundum ordinem Melchisedech Thou art meanyng Christ a prieste after the ordre of Melchisedech Melchisedech was a priest of the moste hygheste God as appeareth bothe by hys wordes and factes in that he blessed Abraham and also receaued tythes of hym whose oblation was breade and wyne whych he offered to God meeting with Abraham comming from the spoyle of the kinges As for suche fonde cauillations as some make for that the booke sayeth non obtulit â—ed protulit I let passe as thinges nothyng furthering their purpose nor yet hynderynge ours Thys is playne by Saynt Paule that euery Bysshoppe and priest is ordeyned to offre sacrifice If Christe our sauioure be a priest and that after the ordre of Melchisedech as the Psalme and S. Paule do witnes then it must nedes folowe that Christ hadde some thynge to offre whyche is nothynge but hym selfe and to no creature but to god whith he was hym selfe seynge euerye sacrifice is that honoure that is due only to God And that he offered him selfe after the ordre of Melchisedech whych must be vndre the formes of breade and wyne For that was the ordre and maner of Melchisedech Whyche kynde of offerynge he neuer made excepte it were in his last supper and for that cause and reason we may conclude that Christ in hys supper dyd offre hym selfe to hys father for vs not by sheddyng of hys bloude by death whyche was the ordre maner of Aarons offerynge but wythout sheddyng of hys bloude vndre the fourmes of breade and wyne whyche was the ordre of Melchisedech And that thys is not my priuate collectioÌ„ but the mind of all the aunciente fathers I shall wyth youre patience recite their sentences Saynte Cyprian sayeth Qui magis Sacerdos Dei summi quaÌ„ Dominus noster Iesus Christus qui sacrificium Deo patri obtulit obtulit hoc idem quod Melchisedech id est panem uinum suum scilicet corpus sanguinem Who is more the Prieste of the hyghest GOD then our Lord Iesus Christ who offered a Sacryfyce to GOD the father and offered the same that Melchisedech dyd that is to saye bread and wyne that is to saye his body and bloude And a lyâ—le after he sayeth qui est plenitudo ueritatem prae figuratae imaginis adimpleuit Christ whych is the fulnes fulfilled the truth of thys ymage that was figurate before By these places of Cyprian we learne â–ª that Melchisedech hys offeryng were figures of Christ and hys offering in his supper and lyke as Melchisedech offered bread and wine so Christ being the truth offered hys bodye and bloude vnder the formes of breade and wyne And lest any man shuld be offended wyth that Cyprian sayeth hoc idem quod Melchisedech the same that Melchisedech Heare what S. Hierome sayeth more playnly Quomodo Melchisedech obtulit panem uinum sic tu offeres corpus tuum sanguinem uerum panem uerum uinum Lyke as Melchisedech offered breade and wyne so thou shalt offre thy body bloude y e true bread the true wine The other was the figuratiue breade and wyne thys is the true breade and wyne the trueth of that figure not the same in substaunce but y e same in mysterye The same S. Hierome among hys epistles hathe an epistle of the godly matrone Paula ad Marcellam wherin be these wordes Recurre ad Genesim Melchisedech regem Salem Huius principeÌ„ inuenies ciuitatis qui iam tunc in typo Christi panem uinum obtulit et mysterium Christianum in saluatoris sanguine corpore dedicauit Returne sayeth Paula to the booke of Genesis to Melchisedech the kynge of Salem thou shalte finde the prince of that citie whych euen then in the figure of Christe offered bread and wine and did dedicate the mistery or sacrament of the Christians in the bloud and body of our sauiour Marke in thys most manifest place the oblation of the figure â–ª whyche is breade and wyne and the oblation of the trueth whyche is the mystery of vs Christen men the bodye and bloude of oure Sauioure Christ. And it is to be noted what is meant by this word ordre whych S. Hierome expoundeth thus Mysterium nostrum in uerbo ordinis significauit nequaquam per Aaron irrationabilibus uictimis immolandis sed oblato pane uino .i. corpore et sanguine Domini Iesu. By thys worde ordre he did signifye and expresse oure mysterye not by offerynge of vnreasonable and brute beastes as Aaron did but by the oblation of breade and wyne that is to saye the body and bloud of our Lord Iesus After this fathers mynde order is taken for the maner of offeryng not by sheddynge of bloude but vnbloudelye as we offre Christes bodye and bloude in oure misterye For Christes offering concerning the substaunce of it was but one but concernyng the ordre and maner it was diuerse vpon the crosse after the ordre Aaron in the supper after the ordre of Melchisedech For so S. Augustyne sayeth Coram regno patris sui id est Iudaeorum mutauit uultum suum quia erat ibi sacrificium secundum ordinem Aaron postea ipse de corpore sanguine suo institu it sacrificium secundum ordineÌ„ Melchisedech â–ª Before y e kingdome of hys father that is to saye the Iewes he chaunged hys countenaunce for there he was a sacrifice after the ordre of Aaron and afterwarde he dyd institute a sacrifice of hys bodye and bloude after the ordre of Melchisedech Marke the diuersitye and distinction of these two offerynges of Christe not in substaunce but in ordre that is to saye the maner and that christ dyd institute the sacryfyce of hys bodye and bloude to be offered of vs after y e ordre of Melchisedech whych thynge he expresseth more playnly in an other booke expoundynge a place of Ecclesiastes Non est bonuÌ„ homini nisi quod manducabit bibet sayinge thus Quid credibilius dicere intelligitur quÃ m quodad parti cipationem mensae huius pertinet quaÌ„ sacerdos ipse media tor noui Testamenti exhibet secundum ordinem Melchisedech de corpore sanguine suo Id enim sacrificium successit omni bus illis sacrificijs ueteris testamenti quae immolabaÌ„tur in umbra futuri What is more credible we shuld thinke he ment by those woordes then that perteyneth to the participation of this table whych Christ him selfe a prieste and mediatour of the newe Testamente
