But M. Harding hath devised a great many replies to the contrary. 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: 1Oblations illic. Sacrificia in Populo Israenl: Sacrificia in Ecclesia.

I write unto you a New Commandment: None other, but that I called the Old, the self same is the New. And it is called a New Sacrifice, saith Chrysostom, 3Because it proceedeth from a New mind, and is offered, not by fire, and smoke, but by Grace, and by the Sprite of God. And in this consideration Ireneus thinketh, David said unto the Children of the Church of Christ,4 O singe unto the Lord a New Song.

This obiection serueth wel to control Tertullian, S. Augustine, and S. Hierome, and other learned Fathers, that thus haue taken it: who, by M. Hardinges iudgemente, wrote vnaduisedly, they knewe not what. Hereunto Ireneus him selfe answeareth thus: Oblationes hic: 1
