This Sacrifice notwithstanding is revived, and freshly laid out before our eyes in the Ministration of the holy Mysteries, as it is well recorded by sundry of the old godly Fathers.1 S. Augustine saith, Was not Christ once offered in him self? Yet that notwithstanding, by way of a Sacrament he is offered every day unto the people, not at Easter only, but also every day: And he saith no untruth, that being demanded the question, saith, Christ is offered. For if Sacraments had not a certain likeness of the things, whereof they be Sacraments, then should they in deed be no Sacraments. And of this likeness many times they bear the names of the things them selves: as the Sacrament of Christs Body by a certain manner of speech is the Body of Christ. Likewise again he saithe,2 Cùm non obliviscimur munus Saluatoris, nonne Christus quotidie nobis immolatur? Ex ipsis reliquijs cogitationis, & ex ipsa memoria quotidiè nobis sic immolatur, quasi quotidiè nos innovet: When we forget not the gift of our Saviour, is not Christ daily offered unto us? Through the remnants of our cogitation, and by way of our very memory, Christ is so offered unto us every day, as if he daily renewed us. And again likewise he saith,3 Holocaustum Dominicae Passionis eo tempore offert quisque pro peccatis suis, quo eiusdem Passionis fide dedicatur, & Christianorum fidelium nomine baptizarus imbu•tur: At that time doth every man offer up the Sacrifice of Christs Passion for his sins, when he is endued with the Faith of Christs Passion, and being Baptized, receiveth the name of faithful Christians.
This Sacrifice notwithstandinge is reuiued, and freashly laide out before our eies in the Ministration of ye holy Mysteries, as it is wel recorded by sundrie of the olde godly Fathers.1 S. Augustine saithe, Was not Christe once offred in him selfe? Yet that notwithstandinge, by way of a Sacrament he is offred euery day vnto the people, not at Easter onely, but also euery day: And he saith no vntrueth, that beinge demaunded the question, saithe, Christe is offred. For if Sacramentes had not a certaine likenesse of the thinges, whereof they be Sacramentes, then shoulde they in deede be no Sacramentes. And of this likenesse many times they beare the names of the thinges them selues: as the Sacrament of Christes Bodie by a certaine manner of speache is the Bodie of Christe. Likewise againe he saithe,
