A declaration of Christ and of his office compiledA declaration of Christe and of his offyce compylyd

OF this infallible verity only the death of Christ to be the sacrifice for the expiation of sin may be necessarily taught the right and true use of the Lords supper which men call the Mass. First it is manifest that it is not â sacrifice for sin as men teach contrary unto the word of god that saith Christ by one sacrifice made perfect all things Ebre. 7. 8. 9. 10. and as Johan. saith, Sanguis Jesu Christi emundat nos â peccatis and there remaineth no more after it as Paul saith, Ubi peccatorum remissio ibi nō amplius hostia pro peccato and to take away all doubt that remission of sin cannot be obtained for the me rites of the mass Paul saith plainly that without bludshedding no sacrifice can merit remission of sin. Although Christ now sit at the right ⟨image 54⟩hand of god and pray for his church and like wise doth offer the prayers and complaint of us that believe: yet it is only for the merits of his death that we obtain the mercy of God's promise, in the which he sustained such pain that the remembrance thereof, and the greatness of God's Ire against sin, put his precious body and sol in such an agony and fear, that his passion of sorrow surmounted, the passions, of all men that ever travailed: or were burdened with the weight and peace of God's importable Ire against man for sin, in so much that he wept not only tyres of blood, but so abundantly, pain forced them to descend that they trickled upon the grown. Sore troubled and over con with sorrow was David Psa. 6 When he washed his bed with tyres for sin, but it was Joy and mirth if his pains be conferred to these ⟨image 55⟩dolours of Christ. They wanted no augmentation, this sacrifice was killed a little, and a little, from one place of judgment send unto the other, and all ways from the flames, into the ardent coals, his death upon the cross so deferred, that although he was very god and the dear beloved son of the father his abjection was so contemptible and vile▪ that he cried out as A man most destitute of God's favour and love: and sayd: Deus meus, Deus meus, quare dereliquisti me? And until such time as he offered his most holy soul unto the father and his blessed side pierced with the spear, his pains and sorrows increased.

Fyrst it is manifest that it is not â sacrifice for sinne as men teache contrary unto the word of god that saythe Christ by one sacrifice made perfet all thinges Ebre. 7. 8. 9. 10. and as Iohan. saythe, Sanguis Iesu Christi emundat nos â peccatis and there remaynithe nomore after it as Paule saith, Vbi peccatorum remissio ibi nō amplius hostia pro peccato and to take away all dout that remission of sinne cānot be optaynid for the me rites of the masse Paule saith playnely that without bludshedding no sacrifice can merite remission of sinne.
