They offered sacrifice. 1Although I have before largely spoken of the sacrifices in the old time, yet I think it good here also briefly to touch what profit was of them in the old law. When men are vexed with calamities, they begin to think upon their sin, they look upon the law: where when they behold the wrath of god kindled for sin, they are in hart dejected: in which perturbation there remaineth no remedy, but to get them unto Christ, which is the sum and end of all sacrifices. Him did the fathers, which were godly, embrace by faith: but in the sacrifices, as often as the sacrifice was slain, so often the death of Christ was after a sort set before the eyes of those that stood by, by whose death the since of the world should be taken away.2 Wherefore they had after this manner a communion among themselves in Christ, which by sundry notes and signs daily signified to the people in the old time, whence they by faith received unto their salvation both his death and the fruit thereof as we do. Wherefore Paul saith truly unto the Corinthians: All did eat of one, and the self same spiritual meat, and all drunk of one, and the self same spiritual drink. And they drunk of the spiritual rock following them. And that rock was Christ. Wherefore the elders had their mysteries and sacraments, whereby they also embraced Christ. And undoubtedly as touching the thing, they had the same that we have, the difference was only in the Symbols.
They offred sacrifice. 1Although I haue before largely spoken of the sacrifices in the olde time, yet I thinke it good here also briefly to touch what profite was of them in the old law. When men are vexed with calamityes, they beginne to think vpon theyr sin, they loke vpon the law: wher whē they behold the wrath of god kindled for sinne, they are in hart deiected: in which perturbatiō there remaineth no remedy, but to get them vnto Christ, which is the summe and end of all sacrifices. Him did the fathers, which wer godly, embrase by faith: but in the sacrifices, as often as the sacrifice was slaine, so often the death of Christe was after a sorte set before the eyes of those that stoode by, by whose death the synnes of the world should be taken away.2
