2. We hold that Christ hath instituted his Sacrament, to be a visible Representation of this his Sacrifice, both for Commemoration and for actual Investiture and Collation of Christ to be our Saviour, and Head in Union, and of his Grace and Benefits, Pardon, Reconciliation, Adoption, Justification, Sanctification, and Title to Glory. And we know that the ancient Churches called this often a Sacrifice: Not in the same sense as Christ was our Sacrifice; nor as the Mosaical Types were Sacrifices; ⟨p. 144⟩but a Representative Sacrifice, representing Christs own. But we are the shyer to use the name Sacrifice, where Papists apply it to Idolatry.

3. We know that all Christians are bound to dedicate themselves to God, and even to lay down their Lives when he requireth it; and bound to offer him penitent Confession, Praise, Thanksgiving, and to give Alms to the poor, and serve and honour him with all their Wealth and Power. And all these are called Sacrifices in Scripture, because they are sacred oblations, acceptable to God through the merits of Christs Sacrifice.
