Whereof it may be concluded, that they do no thing in their satisfactory masses but blaspheme the Lord and his anointed, seeing they so arrogantly arrogate unto them selves power to offer sacrifice for the sins of the people, when this one oblation of our Saviour and Lord Christ Jesus is all wholly sufficient, and thoroughly able in every point even unto the uttermost to save all the elect & chosen people of God, yea and that so abundantly & at the full, that henceforth there needeth no reiteration nor no renewing thereof. If there were no mo scriptures to condemn this wicked opinion ⟨image 93⟩of the Sacrifice of the mass but this one tofore recited, it might seem to any christen judgement sufficient to subvert, overthrow & topple down, what so ever the Papists have builded upon the sand of their own inventions these certain hundred years.

But now in the end of the world, hath he appeared once for all, to put sin to flight by the offering up of him self. And as it is appointed unto men, that they shall once dye, and then cometh the judg meant, even so Christ was once offered to take away the since of many. Blessed Paul hath no shift of descant, but singeth ever one song, nothing less than ⟨image 94⟩
