1Neither is the end of sacrifices lightly to be passed over, but with diligence to be considered, especially as Augustine hath expressed it, namely that we might with an holy fellowship cleave unto God. For without it our works though they be never so excellent,2 can be no sacrifices. Yea and the death it self of Christ which was the chief and only sacrifice pleased god for this cause especially, because Christ to no other end offered himself, but to fulfil the will of his father, and to obey him as it was meet. But to these things which I have said I will add an other thing which Augustine writeth in his Epistle ad Deo gratias the 3.3 question. Namely that in every sacrifice god requireth two certain things. First that our oblations be made unto the true god: from which intent for as much as Idolaters do wander fro, whatsoever they do in their rites, turneth to their own destruction: The other thing is, that the manner of the oblations consist of the doctrine of the holy scriptures, and come not of our own inventions and feignings.

For without it our workes thoughe they be neuer so excellent,2 can be no sacrifices. Yea and the death it self of Christ which was the chiefe and onely sacrifice pleased god for this cause especially, bicause Christ to no other end offred himselfe, but to fulfill the will of his father, and to obey him as it was meete. But to these thinges which I haue sayd I will adde an other thing which Augustine writeth in his Epistle ad Deo gratias the 3.3 question. Namely that in euery sacrifice god requireth twoo certaine thinges. First that our oblations be made vnto the true god: from which intent for as much as Idolatrers do wander fro, whatsoeuer they do in their rites, turneth to their own destruction: The other thing is, that the manner of the oblations consist of the doctrine of the holy scriptures, and come not of our owne inuentions and fayninges.
