In deed the Doctrine uttered in this Article is false, and derogatory to the Glory of our Saviour Christ. For thereby the honour of Christs Sacrifice, whereby he hath once satisfied for the sins of all, should be transferred to the work of the Priest, which were great wickedness, and detestable blasphemy. And therefore we will not require M. Ivel, to yield, and subscribe unto this Article. For we grant, this was never thought a sound doctrine within six hundred years of Christs Ascension, nor shall be so thought within six thousand years after the same of any man of sound belief. (234)
