The thing that is offered, saith M. Harding, maketh our Prayers acceptable unto God. True it is, God accepteth, and mercifully beholdeth both us, & also all our Prayers, and our whole obedience in Jesus Christ his Son, and for his only sake: not for that he is now, or can be offered Verily, and Really by the Priest, but only for that he was once offered for all upon the Cross.1 S. Paul saith, By Christ we have access to the Throne of Grace. 2Christ him self saith, No man cometh to my Father, but by me. 3Ireneus saith, Christ (being in Heaven) is our Altar, and upon him we must offer up, and lay our Prayers, And therefore in the time of the holy Mysteries the Deacon saith thus unto the People, Lift up your hearts.
