And hence also the Foundation of this fiction is razed. For it is, that the Lord Christ offered himself at the supper the night before he was hetraied, as the Trent Council affirms, Sess. 22. Cap. 1. For if he did so, he offered himself more than once, twice at least; which being a matter of Fact, is to give the Apostle the lye.

What he offered is expressed in the last place, and therein the Reason is contained why he offered but once, and needed not to do so daily, as those Priests did. And this is taken from the excellency of his offering, he offered [Greek or Hebrew], himself. 1And this gives the highest preference of the Priesthood of Christ above that of Levi. For, (1.) Those Priests had nothing of their own to offer, but must be furnished with offerings from among the other Creatures. (2.) Though they had the best from them, the blood and fat, yet it was but the blood of Calves, and Sheep, and Goats. And what can this do for the real Expiating of the sins of our souls? See Micah 6. 6, 7, 8. Wherefore when at any time the People were brought under any serious conviction of sin, they could not but apprehend, that none of these sacrifices, however multiplied, could deliver them from their Guilt. But the Lord Christ had something of his own to offer, that which was originally and absolutely his own, not borrowed or taken from any thing among the Creatures. And this was himself, a sacrifice able to make Atonement for all the sins of Mankind. And from the words thus expounded we may observe,
What he offered is expressed in the last place, and therein the Reason is contained why he offered but once, and needed not to do so daily, as those Priests did. And this is taken from the excellency of his offering, he offered , himself.
