true_o receive_v jesus_n christ_n and_o do_v eat_v his_o flesh_n and_o drink_v his_o blood_n to_o the_o feed_n and_o nourish_v of_o his_o soul_n to_o eternal_a life_n but_o a_o evacuate_n of_o the_o

as_o yet_o not_o confute_v wherein_o i_o have_v show_v that_o this_o doctrine_n be_v contrary_a to_o the_o holy_a scripture_n which_o call_v it_o bread_n after_o it_o be_v consecrate_v and_o when_o

element_n or_o else_o it_o can_v be_v no_o sacrament_n that_o it_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o article_n of_o faith_n and_o holy_a scripture_n which_o teach_v we_o that_o christ_n in_o respect_n of_o his_o humanity_n be_v ascend_v into_o heaven_n and_o there_o be_v to_o be_v seek_v and_o not_o upon_o the_o earth_n and_o that_o this_o doctrine_n draw_v with_o it_o many_o absurdity_n as_o that_o christ_n body_n be_v at_o one_o moment_n in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o in_o infinite_a place_n of_o the_o earth_n without_o either_o quantity_n or_o quality_n of_o a_o body_n and_o that_o wicked_a and_o unfaithful_a man_n do_v eat_v the_o very_a body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n and_o such_o other_o absurdity_n which_o be_v more_o large_o lay_v down_o in_o my_o say_a sermon_n whereunto_o i_o remit_v the_o reader_n where_o also_o i_o have_v set_v down_o sundry_a testimony_n of_o the_o ancient_a godly_a learned_a father_n against_o this_o gross_a and_o false_a doctrine_n of_o transubstantiation_n as_o touch_v their_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o mass_n wherein_o they_o false_o feign_v that_o they_o offer_v up_o jesus_n christ_n for_o a_o propitiatory_a sacrifice_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o live_n and_o of_o the_o dead_a i_o say_v that_o this_o doctrine_n have_v neither_o warrant_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n nor_o of_o the_o ancient_a godly_a and_o learned_a father_n but_o be_v contrary_n to_o they_o both_o first_o no_o man_n ever_o do_v or_o can_v offer_v up_o jesus_n christ_n for_o a_o propitiatory_a sacrifice_n jud●●_n betrave_v he_o the_o priest_n accuse_v he_o pilate_n condemn_v he_o the_o jew_n crucify_v he_o but_o none_o do_v offer_v he_o for_o a_o sacrifice_n for_o our_o sin_n but_o himself_o who_o 14_o heb._n 9_o 14_o through_o the_o eternal_a

a_o sweet_a smell_a savour_n to_o god_n and_o if_o a_o man_n can_v offer_v up_o jesus_n christ_n unto_o his_o father_n for_o a_o sacrifice_n then_o see_v what_o a_o absurdity_n will_v follow_v that_o jesus_n christ_n shall_v be_v accept_v of_o his_o heavenly_a father_n for_o the_o man_n sake_n that_o do_v offer_v he_o for_o in_o all_o sacrifice_n the_o man_n be_v not_o except_v for_o the_o sacrifice_n sake_n but_o the_o sacrifice_n for_o the_o man_n sake_n that_o do_v offer_v it_o as_o for_o example_n cain_n and_o abel_n offer_v either_o of_o they_o a_o sacrifice_n the_o one_o of_o the_o fruit_n of_o his_o field_n the_o other_o of_o the_o increase_n of_o his_o cattle_n there_o be_v no_o difference_n before_o god_n in_o the_o outward_a sacrifice_n yet_o the_o one_o be_v accept_v and_o the_o other_o be_v reject_v because_o the_o one_o be_v a_o godly_a and_o faithful_a man_n that_o do_v offer_v it_o and_o the_o other_o a_o wicked_a hypocrite_n and_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o by_o faith_n abel_n offer_v a_o great_a sacrifice_n 4._o heb._n 2._o 4._o than_o cain_n do_v the_o sacrifice_n of_o noah_n abraham_n and_o other_o faithful_a father_n please_v god_n and_o it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o smell_v a_o sweet_a ●avour_n of_o rest_n and_o this_o be_v because_o they_o 21._o gen._n 8._o 21._o be_v godly_a and_o faithful_a which_o do_v offer_v they_o afterward_o the_o same_o sacrfice_n offer_v by_o the_o wicked_a jew_n which_o be_v a_o sinful_a nation_n a_o people_n lade_v with_o iniquity_n the_o seed_n of_o the_o wicked_a corrupt_a child_n which_o 1._o isa_n

of_o feed_v beast_n and_o a_o little_a after_o bring_v no_o more_o oblation_n in_o vain_a incense_n be_v a_o obhomination_n unto_o i_o yea_o god_n say_v of_o those_o sacrifice_n in_o another_o place_n he_o that_o kill_v a_o bullock_n be_v as_o if_o he_o slay_v a_o man_n he_o that_o sacrifice_v a_o sheep_n be_v as_o if_o he_o cut_v off_o a_o dog_n neck_n he_o that_o offer_v a_o oblation_n be_v as_o

come_v near_o to_o the_o purpose_n why_o be_v the_o sacrifice_n of_o jesus_n christ_n upon_o the_o cross_a a_o sweet_a smell_a sacrifice_n to_o god_n to_o pacifice_fw-la his_o wrath_n to_o satisfy_v his_o justice_n and_o to_o purchase_v his_o mercy_n unto_o we_o sure_o because_o jesus_n christ_n the_o son_n of_o god_n do_v offer_v it_o as_o before_o be_v declare_v and_o therefore_o it_o must_v in_o like_a manner_n follow_v that_o if_o a_o miserable_a man_n can_v offer_v jesus_n christ_n for_o a_o sacrifice_n to_o his_o father_n than_o christ_n shall_v be_v accept_v for_o the_o man_n sake_n the_o which_o if_o it_o be_v false_a and_o blasphemous_a then_o can_v no_o man_n offer_v up_o jesus_n christ_n for_o a_o propitiatory_a sacrifice_n to_o his_o father_n moreover_o this_o sacrifice_n of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n upon_o the_o 27_o heb._n 7_o 27_o cross_n for_o our_o redemption_n be_v but_o once_o offer_v and_o can_v never_o be_v repeat_v so_o say_v the_o apostle_n that_o christ_n need_v not_o daily_o as_o those_o high_a priest_n do_v offer_v up_o sacrifice_n first_o for_o their_o own_o sin_n and_o then_o for_o the_o people_n for_o that_o do_v he_o once_o when_o he_o offer_v
