And at the same very instant of time, (which is here further to be added, as a necessary point of Christian doctrine) we must understand (223)1 that Christ offered him self in Heaven invisibly (as concerning man) in the sight of his Heavenly Father, and that from that time forward that Oblation of Christ in Heaven was never intermitted, but continueth always for our atonement with God, and shall without ceasing endure until the end of the world. For as S. Paul sayeth,2 Jesus hath not entered into Temples made with hands, the samplers of the true Temples, but into Heaven it self, to appear now to the countenance of God for us. Now as this Oblation and Sacrifice of Christ endureth in Heaven continually, for as much as he is risen from the dead, and ascended into Heaven with that Body, which he gave to Thomas to feel, bringing in thither his Blood, as Hesychius saith, and bearing the marks of his wounds, and there appeareth before the face of God with that Thorneprickte, Naileboared, Spearepearsed, and otherwise wounded, rent, and torn Body for us: (whereby we understand the virtue of his Oblation on the Cross ever enduring, not the Oblation it self with renewing of pain, and sufferance continued) so we do perpetually celebrate this Oblation and Sacrifice of Christs very Body and Blood in the Mass, in remembrance of him▪ (224)3 commanded so to do, until his coming.
