But, as Christ neither is daily Borne of the Virgin, nor daily Crucified, nor daily Slain,1 nor daily Riseth from the dead, nor daily Suffereth, nor daily Dieth, but only in a certain manner of Speech, not verily, and in deed: Even so Christ is daily Sacrificed, only in a certain manner of speech, and in a Mystery: but Really, verily, and in deed he is not Sacrificed.
