I told you as you observe, that this Sacrifice is an utter stranger to Scripture, as also that it is inconsistent with what is therein delivered. The Apostle in the Epistle to the Hebrews plainly affirms that the Sacrifice of the Church of the Christians is but one, and that once offered for all; whereas those of the Jews by reason of their imperfection were often repeated; which you choose out to reply unto, and say, It is true the Sacrifice of our Lords Passion ⟨p. 463⟩of which the Apostle in that whole discourse intends only to treat in opposition unto that of Bulls and goats, was so done but once, that it could not be done twice. But as the Sacrifices of the Old Law were instituted by Almighty God to be often iterated, before the Passion of the Messiah for a continual exercise of Religion; so did the same Lord for the very same purpose institute another to be iterated after his death, unto which it was to have reference when it should be past, as the former had to the same death when it was to come. So you.
