This Sacrifice is but one: we may look for none other. It is full, and perfect, we may look for no better.

S. Peter saith,1 Christ offereth up us unto God his Father. S. Paul saith, Through Christ we have access to the Throne of Glory. 2What then meaneth M. Harding, thus to tell us, and to bear the world in hand, that contrary wise, he hath Authority, to offer up Christ, and to present him before the Throne of Glory? Or how dareth he, to desire God, to receive his only begotten Son into favour, and favourably and fatherly to look upon him at his request? For thus he biddeth his prayer even in his Canon, even in the secretest, and devoutest part of his Masse. Super quae propitio, ac sereno vultu, &c. Upon these things (that is to say, saith Gabriel Biel, upon the Body, and Blood of Christ thy Son) O Lord look down with a Merciful, and a cheerful countenance: and receive the same (the Body, and Blood of thy Son) as thou diddest in old times receive the Sacrifice of Abel, and of Abraham (which was a weather, or a calf, or some other like thing). Thus he, not only taketh upon him, to pray for Christ, but also compareth the Sacrifice of the Son of God, with the Sacrifice of brute Cattle. If he deny any part hereof, his own Canon, his own Massebooke will reprove him. If this ⟨p. 583⟩be not Blasphemy, what thing can be called Blasphemy?
