nothing_o so_o frequent_a in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n as_o the_o change_n of_o tense_n so_o as_o very_o often_o the_o past_a or_o the_o present_a be_v take_v for_o the_o future_a thus_o christ_n speak_v of_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o cross_n on_o which_o he_o give_v himself_o for_o the_o life_n of_o the_o world_n some_o other_o argue_v thus_o all_o effusion_n of_o blood_n for_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n be_v a_o propitiatory_a sacrifice_n but_o christ_n say_v that_o his_o blood_n be_v shed_v in_o the_o eucharist_n for_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n therefore_o the_o eucharist_n be_v a_o propitiatory_a sacrifice_n i_o answer_v that_o the_o two_o first_o proposition_n of_o this_o argument_n be_v false_a as_o also_o the_o conclusion_n in_o the_o sense_n that_o our_o adversary_n take_v it_o in_o first_o it_o be_v false_a that_o a_o effusion_n of_o blood_n be_v a_o propitiatory_a sacrifice_n for_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n unless_o that_o blood_n be_v offer_v unto_o god_n with_o the_o death_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n but_o christ_n offer_v nothing_o unto_o god_n in_o the_o eucharist_n nor_o yet_o suffer_v death_n thereat_o again_o it_o be_v false_a that_o christ_n do_v shed_v his_o blood_n in_o the_o eucharist_n for_o it_o be_v not_o shed_v but_o on_o the_o cross_n and_o it_o be_v of_o that_o shed_n he_o speak_v say_v this_o cup_n be_v the_o new_a testament_n in_o my_o blood_n which_o be_v shed_v for_o you_o and_o to_o reply_v that_o there_o be_v in_o the_o present_a tense_n be_v shed_v and_o not_o in_o the_o future_a shall_v be_v shed_v be_v to_o no_o purpose_n for_o i_o have_v above_o stop_v this_o passage_n in_o show_v out_o of_o divers_a place_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n that_o this_o word_n be_v be_v oftentimes_o take_v in_o the_o future_a and_o indeed_o the_o latin_a bible_n of_o the_o roman_a church_n and_o the_o canon_n of_o the_o mass_n turn_v it_o in_o the_o future_a qui_fw-la pro_fw-la vobis_fw-la effundetur_fw-la which_o shall_v be_v shed_v for_o you_o but_o it_o be_v worthy_a of_o note_n to_o see_v how_o our_o adversary_n grant_v without_o difficulty_n that_o which_o they_o so_o painful_o deny_v for_o when_o we_o ask_v of_o they_o whether_o christ_n blood_n come_v out_o of_o the_o vein_n in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o eucharist_n or_o no_o they_o answer_v it_o do_v not_o come_v out_o of_o the_o vein_n then_o it_o be_v not_o shed_v there_o say_v we_o for_o a_o thing_n be_v not_o shed_v while_o it_o remain_v enclose_v in_o the_o vessel_n that_o contain_v it_o and_o beside_o they_o call_v the_o mass_n a_o unbloody_a sacrifice_n nevertheless_o contradict_v themselves_o gross_o they_o will_v not_o give_v over_o writing_n and_o affirm_v that_o christ_n shed_v his_o blood_n there_o we_o ask_v they_o then_o how_o and_o after_o what_o manner_n it_o be_v shed_v in_o the_o mass_n they_o answer_v it_o be_v shed_v under_o the_o species_n of_o the_o wine_n then_o say_v we_o it_o be_v shed_v it_o be_v not_o say_v they_o it_o be_v but_o the_o accident_n of_o the_o wine_n only_o that_o be_v shed_v now_o i_o leave_v it_o to_o the_o judgement_n of_o all_o man_n whether_o this_o be_v not_o with_o one_o breath_n to_o deny_v and_o affirm_v both_o together_o why_o then_o do_v they_o tell_v we_o that_o it_o be_v shed_v for_o to_o tell_v we_o present_o after_o that_o it_o be_v not_o shed_v but_o that_o the_o only_a accident_n of_o wine_n be_v shed_v they_o have_v be_v bring_v to_o lay_v the_o like_a absurdity_n upon_o these_o word_n which_o be_v break_v for_o you_o be_v force_v to_o maintain_v that_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n be_v break_v because_o the_o species_n that_o contain_v he_o be_v break_v the_o conclusion_n which_o they_o draw_v from_o this_o argument_n be_v also_o false_a for_o they_o conclude_v that_o the_o eucharist_n be_v a_o propitiatory_a sacrifice_n for_o sin_n both_o for_o the_o quick_a and_o for_o the_o dead_a which_o be_v not_o so_o but_o only_o a_o sacrifice_n of_o thanksgiving_n for_o there_o be_v but_o one_o propitiatory_a sacrifice_n for_o sin_n which_o be_v that_o of_o the_o cross_n now_o even_o as_o there_o be_v but_o one_o only_o expiatory_a sacrifice_n
