his own blood entred he once into the Holy place and obtained Eternal Redemption for us Christ was such an High-priest that he once offering himself by once effusion of his blood did cleanse the sins of all that believe he took unto himself not onely their sins which many years before were dead and put their trust in him but likewise the sins of those that until his coming again should believe in his Gospel so that we look for no other Priest or sacrifice to take away our sins but onely his sacrifice made once for all If he should have made any oblation for sin more then once he should have died more then once but he hath made a full and plenary oblation for sin by his death by the will of God are we sanctified by the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once made Heb. 10.10 For with once offering hath he consecrated for ever them that are sanctified If Christ then have taken upon him the burden of our sins and become a reconciliation not onely for our sins but the sins of the whole world if he himself have made a full oblation for our sins by the offering of his body once made how shall the Popish Priests be excused who presume daily to perswade the people they offer in their Mass a Propitiatory sacrifice and the same that was offered by Christ himself upon the Cross Which if it be so then may we say of them that they crucifie again the Lord of life whereas the Scripture tels us plainly he was not to be offered often as the High-priest offered every year but onely once did put away sin by the sacrifice of himself Heb. 9.26 For as a man must once die so Christ was once offered to take away sins for many and to them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation for Heb. 10. Every Priest appeareth daily ministring and offereth ofttimes one manner of offering which can never take away sins but Christ after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever sitteth at the right hand of God It is a rule in Logick Dato uno absurdo mille sequuntur the Papists deduce this Doctrine from their other errors of Transubstantiation and so they proceed from iniquity to iniquity they hereby when they have made the people believe their transubstantiated god that now they may as well rob God of his office and their Priest may make a Propitiatory sacrifice upon the Altar for the sins of the people which S. Paul saith was onely proper to Christ himself He himself entred into the holy place by his own blood It was the office of himself to offer himself the satisfactory oblation for our sins by the will of the Father he being the High-priest of good things to come having an everlasting Priest-hood being holy harmless separate from sin made higher then the heavens which needed not daily to offer up sacrifice as the other High-priest did first for his own sins and then for the peoples for that did he once when he offered himself up once for all Moreover when the Popish Priests take upon them to offer up satisfactory sacrifice at their Altar it must either be understood such a sacrifice as the Priest under the Law offered which were but typical of the Messias and so they become Jewes denying Christ to be already come or else if they think they offer Christ upon the Altar for quick and dead and make the same oblation which Christ made upon the Cross they do hereby either deny the sufficiency of Christs oblation as if his offering once for all did not satisfie without their daily offering and crucifie again the Lord of life or else if that sacrifice of Christ was sufficient they must needs confess that this of theirs is vain and needless being added to the sacrifice which is already sufficient and perfect or if this of theirs be requisite they make the death of Christ of none effect or in vain because this their offering is satisfactory for the sinnes of the people This doctrine is very well known to have sprung up of lucre the Priests by this doctrine finding a means to sell Masses for the quick and promising for and in consideration of such and such Legacies to say so many Masses for the dead whereby they should be released from pains in Purgatory and finding the sweet benefit that doth arise by this doctrine to the Priests and to his Holiness by this doctrine and the other of Indulgences they bend all their wits and wholly apply themselves to darken the truth with the mists of subrile sophistry and fleshly interpretations of the word to gain grateful and liberal Proselytes to this their new doctrine I do not deny that this Sacrament is by some Fathers called a sacrifice it is so properly called but it must not be therefore understood to be a sacrifice for sin onely a sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving or else it is called a sacrifice to put us in mind of the sacrifice which Christ himself hath made and so is significantly a sacrifice as the bread is called his body and the cup his blood And herewith agreeth Saint Austine in his 33. Eplstle to Boniface and in his book de civitate Dei lib. 10. cap. 5. That saith he which men call a sacrifice is a figure and representation of the true sacrifice And Magist Sentent lib. 4. distic 12. That which is offered and consecrated of the Priest is called a sacrifice because it is the memory or representation of the true sacrifice of Christ and that holy oblation made in the Altar of the Cross And Chrysostome upon the Hebr. That which we offer is but in remembrance of Christs sacrifice he himself in his own Person made a sacrifice for our sins upon the Cross by whose wounds all our diseases are healed all our sins pardoned and so did never any man or creature but he the benefit whereof is in no mans power to give unto another every man must receive it at Christs hands himself by his own faith and belief we are made one body as many as are partakers of one bread If then this be a representation of Christs sacrifice which sacrifice by the Doctors own confession is not perfect without the cup then must the people either receive both kinds or else they do not sufficiently commemorate Christs sacrifice which they ought to do in respect the Priest doth not nor can offer up a Propitiatory sacrifice for the Reasons aforesaid As this Sacrament has the name of a sacrifice it is to be understood significantly of Christs sacrifice or else as it is in it self a sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving if it be significantly a sacrifice the people ought to be partakers of it as it is a perfect sacrifice in both kinds and if it be a sacrifice of praise and laud unto the Lord then the people as well as the Priest are required to and concerned
