Although you never red that the oblation of the priest, is satisfactory by devotion of the priest,1 yet nevertheless the papists do so teach, and you may find it in their S. Thomas,2 both in his Sum, and upon the 4. of the sentences, whose words have been red in the Universities almost these 300. years, and never until this day reproved by any of the papists in this point. He saith: Quod Sacrificium Sacerdotis habet vim satisfactivam, sed in satisfactione magis attenditur affectus offerentis, quam quantitas oblationis. Ide satisfactoria est illis pro quibus offertur, vel etiam offerentibus, secundum quantitatem suae devotionis, & non pro tota paena.
