And that Ireneus meant not any such Real Sacrifice of the Son of God,1 nor may not in any wise so be taken, it is evident by the plain words, that follow, touching the same.

First he faith, The offering up of Prayer, Praises, and Thanksgiving cannot be called a New Sacrifice: for the same was made by Moses, Aaron, the Prophets, and other holy men in the Old Law. This objection serveth well to control Tertullian, S. Augustine, and S. Hierome, and other learned Fathers, that thus have taken it: who, by M. Hardinges judgement, wrote unadvisedly, they knew not what. Hereunto Ireneus him self answereth thus: Oblations hic:
