An answer to a certain book, writtenAn answere to a certeine booke, written

Again if Christ at his supper offered such a sacrifice, as was prefigured by Melchizedek which you affirm, then must it follow that Christ fulfilled that figure perfectly, and so the same sacrifice need no more to be offered: whereof ensueth the desolation of your masmongers, whose occupation only and wholly standeth in renewing the sacrifice of the mass. Then would I demand what virtue and effect that sacrifice had, which you teach to have been offered by Christ at his supper? Did Christ thereby fully appease the wrath of his father? Did he fully redeem mankind? Or did he these things, but yet so slenderly & insufficiently, that there needed another ⟨p. 73⟩sacrifice after, namely his own death upon the Cross? Answer plainly as becometh a divine, yea a Christian, yea a reasonable man.¹

Answere plainlie as becommeth a diuine, yea a Christian, yea a reasonable man.¹
