If thou wilt make a burnt offering, offer it unto the Lord. He declared that he looked not for a banquet, because in burnt offerings, all things were consumed with fire. But in that he saith: Sacrifice it unto the Lord, he putteth him in remembrance of the true God: because the people at that time worshipped the Gods of the gentiles.1 The Papists cry that to make, is to sacrifice: & that this word Facere, that is to do or to make, is properly applied unto sacrifices. And thereby they labour to prove, that their Mass is a sacrifice, because Christ said in the Supper, Hoc facite, that is, do or make this, which they think is nothing else, then sacrifice this. Neither do they cite these places only, but also very many other, which are found in the old testament. They say also that the Latin Poets used this word after this manner,2 as Virgil when he said: When I make a calf for corn, come thou. Amity it be so. But how shall we understand the certain signification or strength of this word as oft as it cometh? And when shall it signify this, & when that?3 For otherwise to make a garment, shall be to sacrifice a garment, and to make a fire, shall be to sacrifice a fire: if that word as oft as it cometh shall signify to sacrifice, undoubtedly what the word signifieth may be easily be understand by the thing it self, and circumstances of the place, as that in Virgil which they have alleged, where it is read: When I make a calf, it is certain that there is mention made of harvest Sacrifices. And so it oftentimes happeneth in the old Testament. But in the supper, what was it that Christ would Sacrifice? what oblation? what blood? Take (saith he,) eat, drink. Do this which I have said, namely to eat and drink, for a remembrance & monument of my death. But the Papists bring forth these vain & frivolous things, because they have no better, as they which have no wood use to burn straw.
If thou wilt make a burnt offring, offer it vnto the Lord. He declared that he looked not for a banquet, bycause in burnt offrings, al things were consumed with fire. But in yt he saith: Sacrifice it vnto the Lord, he putteth him in remēbraunce of the true God: bycause the people at that tyme woorshypped the Gods of the gentiles.1
