Or, that the Priest had then authority, to apply the virtue of Christs Death, and Passion to any man by mean of the Mass.

M. Hardinge.
The virtue of Christs Death, and Passion, is grace and remission of sins, the appeasing of God's wrath, the reconciliation of us to God, deliverance from the Devil, Hell and everlasting damnation. Our adversaries imputing to us, as though we said, and taught, that the Priest applieth this virtue, effect, and merit of Christs Death to any man by the mean of the Mass, either (232)1 belie us of Ignorance,2 or slander us of malice. Verily we say not so. Neither doth the Priest apply the virtue of Christs Passion to any man by the mean of the Mass. He doth but apply his prayer, and his intent of Oblation, beseeching almighty God to apply the merit and virtue of his Sons death (the memory whereof he celebrateth at the Mass) to them, for whom he prayeth.
