A64359	A friendly debate between a Roman Catholick and a Protestant concerning the doctrine of transubstantiation wherein the said doctrine is utterly confuted, and Antichrist is clearly and fully described, and his inevitable destruction predicted : with a challenge to all the Romish doctors that preach and teach the said doctrine, to answer it.	Tenison, Thomas, 1636-1715.	1688 (1688)	Wing T698; ESTC R38802	90,615	48

was not a sufficient Sacrifice for the sins of his people and therefore you 〈◊〉 offer up Christ often even as often as the Mass said as a Sacrifice sufficient and propitiatory for t●● sin of the living and the dead which is to prof●● that you do know God but in works you deny h●● at the highest rate that ever can be imagined by a●● that ever called themselves Christians for you s●● it clearly proved that as often as Christ is offe●● up so often must he suffer and if it be so w●● then how many millions of times must Christ ha●● suffered by your Priests since this opinion has be●● broacht in the world among you that the Sacrament of the Lords-Supper is a Sacrifice and th● you do offer up Christ in the Mass in Body Soul a●● Divinity a Sacrifice sufficient and propitiatory f●● the sins of the living and the dead and is not th● to say plainly that Christ's Sacrifice of himself w●● not a sufficient and propitiatory Sacrifice for the sin of his people nothing can speak bolder and plain●● than this does Again fourthly Let us hear furthermore wh●● the Apostle St. Paul saith who himself lived 〈◊〉 Rome which is more than I can understand th●● ever the Prince of the Apostles did I cannot sa●● that St. Paul never dreamed of this new-found Doctrine of yours but yet this I am sure in the fi●● place that he never taught any such kind of Doctrine there And secondly That he did see in his da●● by a Prophetick Spirit that there would be such 〈◊〉 Doctrine brought after his time which I sh●● prove anon But to our purpose before us Heb. 〈◊〉 9 10 11 12 13. Then said he Lo I come to do 〈◊〉 will O God He taketh away the first that he may establish the second By the which will ye are sancti●● through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once 〈◊〉 all And every Priest standeth dayly ministring offing oftentimes the same sacrifice which can never 〈◊〉 away sin But this man after he had effered one sacrifice for sins for ever sat down at the right ha●● God expecting till his enemies be made his foot●● But why is it said that Christ is expecting till 〈◊〉 enemies be made his footstool Why Christ repects it because God the Father hath determined 〈◊〉 promised it in Psal 110.1 The Lord said unto my L●● sit thou at my right hand until I make thine enemies footstool This does unavoidably lead me to a digr●● on therefore Sir I must beg leave of you for 〈◊〉 present to pursue this digression But I will certainly meet you again anon upon the same Top●● and discourse out the point with you In the first place God the Father hath said 〈◊〉 Christ his only Son Sit thou at my right hand 〈◊〉 I make thine enemies thy footstool God the F●● 〈…〉 of all his Enemies why it must be infallibly him that opposeth Christ most And pray who is that Why It is the Man of sin Antichrist His very Titles as well as his Characters and Practises signifie the same It is he that is gotten into the Temple of God and claims a power and soveraignty over Kings and Rulers and over Mens souls and Consciences But he is but a Usurper for he exalts himself unto that Power and Dominion for it is a power that properly and peculiarly belongeth unto Jesus Christ for it is he that is King of Kings and Lord of Lords and the only Ruler of Princes Rev. 19.16 Rev. 17.14 1 Tim. 6.15 Prov. 8.15 16. By me Kings reign and Princes decree justice by one Princes Rule and Nobles even all the Judges of the earth Here you see whose right it is to Rule over Kings and Princes and Judges of the Earth Ay and Christ is to have this power restored unto him again because God the Father hath promised it unto him And also it is his right in Ezck. 21.27 I will overturn overturn overturn it and it shall be no more until he come whose right it is and I will give it him Rev. 17.16 17. And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast these shall hate the whore and shall make her desolate and naked and shall cather flesh and burn her with fire for God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will. I am apt to think that this is Antichrist's will which they fulfil and to agree and give their Kingdom to the Beast until the Word of God shall be fulfilled Dan. 8.25 He shall stand up against the Prince of Princes but he shall be broken without hands Isa 47.8 9 10 11. Rev. 18.7 8. And that which is to antecede or go before the destruction of Antichrist to usher it in upon him you have in Rev. 16.17 18 19 20 21. Here is already or will be suddenly a threefold division among them and strange unusual thunder and lightning and fire and great hail of that magnitude that it will be sufficient to knock down an Ox and great earthquakes both literal and metaphorical But you will ask me who this Antichrist the Man of sin is why my answer in the genral is this That the Apostle Paul has described him and set several infallible marks upon him that he may easily be distinguished from all other persons in the World he is the head of the many Antichrists which did Apostatize from the true Gospel Worship Doctrine and Discipline he is the chief head and promoter of all wickedness and therefore called the Man of sin by way of Eminency as you may see in that famous descriminating Chapter 2 Thess 2.2 3 4. Here the Apostle brings it in by way of caution to the Christians of that day and in the spirit of Prophesie also viz. that ye be not soon shaken in mind or troubled neither by Spirit nor by Word nor by Letter as 〈…〉 that the 〈◊〉 Christ is at hand Pray hath had his day for as Antichrist hath sat upon Christ's Throne viz. the Temple of God and made his people his footstool which is indeed to make Christ his footstool for what is done to his people is done to himself As you may see in the Case of this Apostle Paul when he was a Persecutor Acts 9. Saul Saul why persecutest thou me Who art thou Lord I am Jesus whom thou persecutest Why so Christ will depose the man of sin and take the Throne himself and make Antichrist his footstool for if Antichrist will exalt himself above all that is called God and sit in the seat of God himself then he must be abased and made Christ's footstool For the Word of God saith He that exalteth himself shall be abased And therefore Antichrist must be made Christ's footstool for Christ in his day of Exaltation will debase this Usurper and tread him under his feet But to return to what I was upon let no man deceive you by any means for that shall not come except there come a falling away first
