Of all other, Oecumenius speaketh most plainly to this purpose upon this place of S. Paul alleged out of the Psalm, Tu es Sacerdos in aeternum secundum ordinem Melchizedek. 1Thou art a Priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek. His words be these, Significat sermo, quòd non solùm Christus obtulit incruentam hostiam (siquidem suum ipsius corpus obtulit) verùm etiam qui ab ipso fungentur sacerdotio, quorum Deus Pontifex esse dignatus est, sine sanguinis effusion offerent. Nam hoc significat (in aeternum). Neque enim de ea, quae semel a Deo facta est Oblatio, & Hostia, dixisset in aeternum, sed respiciens ad praesentes Sacrificos, per quos medios Christus Sacrificat, & Sacrificatur, qui etiam in Mystica Coena modum illis tradidit huiusmodi Sacrificij. The meaning of this place is (saith he) that not only Christ offered an Unbloody sacrifice, for he offered his own Body, but also that they, which after him shall do the office of a Priest (whose Bishop he vouch saveth to be) shall offer without shedding of Blood. For that signifieth the word (For ever.) For concerning that Oblation, and Sacrifice, which was once made by God, he would never say, (In aeternum) For ever. But (he said so) having an eye to those priests, that be now, by the mediation of whom Christ sacrificeth, and is sacrificed: who also in his Mystical supper taught them by tradition the manner of such a Sacrifice. Concerning the Prophecy of Malachi, for proof of this Oblation, though the place of Irenaeus above recited may stand in stead of many authorities, yet I will not let to rehearse the sayings of a Father or two, for confirmation of this Article.
