Would Christ this word (by him self) had […] better ⟨p. 20⟩weighed and looked upon, and in sanctificationem, to make them holy, for he is juge sacrificium, a continual sacrifice, in effect, fruit and operation, that like as they which […] the Serpent hang up in the desert, were put in remembrance of Christs death, in whom as many as believed1 were saved: so all men that trusted in the death of Christ shall be saved, as well they that were before, as they that came after. For he was a continual Sacrifice, as I said in effect, fruit, operation and virtue. As though he had from the beginning of the world, and continually should to the worlds end, hang still on the cross, and he is as fresh hanging on the cross now, to them that believe and trust in him: as he was fifteen hundred years a go, when he was […]. Then let us trust upon his only death, and look for none other sacrifice propitiatory, then the same bloody Sacrifice, the lively sacrifice, and not the dry Sacrifice, but a bloody Sacrifice. For Christ him self said: con summatum est, It is perfectly finished. I have taken at my fathers hand the dispensation of redeeming mankind. I have wrought mans redemption, and have dispatched the matter. Why then mingle ye him? why […] ye divide him? why make you of him mo sacrifices then one: Paul saith: Pascha nostrum immolatus est christus, Christe our […] is […] up, so that the thing is done, and Christ hath done it, and he hath done it semel, once for all. And it was a bloody Sacrifice, not a dry Sacrifice.
Would Christ thys woorde (by hym selfe) had 〈…〉 better ⟨p. 20⟩weyghed and looked vpon, and in sanctificationem, to make them holy, for he is iuge sacrificium, a continuall sacrifice, in effect, fruite and operation, that lyke as they whyche 〈…〉 the Serpent hange vppe in the deserte, were put in remembraunce of Christes deathe, in whom as manye as beleued1 were saued: so al men that trusted in the death of Christ shal be saued, as wel they that were before, as they that came after. For he was a continuall Sacrifice, as I sayde in effecte, fruite, operacion and vertue. As though he had from the begynnyng of the world, and continually should to the worlds ende, hang styll on the crosse, and he is as freshe hangyng on the crosse nowe, to them that beleue and trust in hym: as he was fyftene hundreth yeares a go, when he was . Then let vs trust vpon hys onelye death, and looke for none other sacrifice propitiatory, then the same bloudye Sacrifice, the lyuely sacrifice, and not the dry Sacrifice, but a bloudye Sacrifice. For Christ hym selfe sayde: con summatum est, It is perfectly finished. I haue taken at my fathers hande the dispensation of redeemyng mankynde. I haue wrought mans redemption, and haue dispatched the matter. Why then mingle ye hym? why ye diuide hym? why make you of hym mo sacrifices then one: Paule sayth: Pascha nostrum immolatus est christus, Christe our is vppe, so that the thyng is done, and Christe hath done it, and he hathe done it semel, once for al. And it was a bloudye Sacrifice, not a drye Sacrifice.
