Objections of Papists.
Obiections of Papists.
I. Object. Levit. 4. Moses according to Gods commandment prescribed several sacrifices for several persons; and they were means of satisfaction for the temporal punishments of their daily sins. Ans. Those sacrifices were only signs and types of Christs satisfaction to be offered to his father in his alone sacrifice upon the cross: and ⟨p. 127⟩whosoever offered any sacrifice in the old testament, did thus and no otherwise esteem of it, but as a type and figure of better things. Secondly, the said sacrifices were satisfactions to the Church, whereby men did testify their repentance for their offences, and likewise their desire to be reconciled to God and men. And such kind of satisfactions, we acknowledge.
