Doct. That Gods children at all times have their Sacrifices.
There is indeed one kind of Sacrificing determined, and finished by the coming of Christ, who was the last Sacrifice of propitiation for our sins. The more to blame those, who yet maintain a daily Sacrifice, not of laud and praise, but of cozening and deluding the world in saying mass for the sins of the quick and the dead, all such Sacrifices being finished and closed up in him (our blessed Saviour) who, by one Sacrifice (as the Apostle speaks) hath perfected them that are sanctified: and that;1 By one Sacrifice when he offered up himself; 2when all the the Jewish Sacrifices ended, since which all ours, are but a commemoration of Christs last Sacrifice (as the Fathers say) The Lords Supper with the rest: Which remain still, and the Sacrifice of praise, with a few others I desire to name.
