1 First, in that they make it a sacrifice Propitiatory for the quick and the dead, utterly evacuating by that means, and making of no force, the eternal Priesthood of our Saviour Christ, which consisteth in this, that he hath once for all, upon the Alter of the Cross, offered up himself unto God the Father, a full and sufficient Sacrifice, for the sins of the people, as the Apostle plainly proveth in the 7.8.9. and 10. Chapters ⟨p. 61⟩of his Epistle to the Hebrews: But no marvel, that they should annihilate his Offices, which destroy his person; as these men do, by confounding the proprieties of either nature, as hath been before decreed.
1 First, in that they make it a sacrifice Propitiatorie for the quicke and the dead, vtterly euacuating by that meanes, and making of no force, the eternall Priesthood of our Sauiour Christ, which consisteth in this, that he hath once for all, vpon the Alter of the Crosse, offered vp himselfe vnto God the Father, a full and sufficient Sacrifice, for the sinnes of the people, as the Apostle plainely prooueth in the 7.8.9. and 10. Chapters ⟨p. 61⟩of his Epistle to the Hebrewes: But no maruell, that they should annihilate his Offices, which destroy his person; as these men doe, by confounding the proprieties of either nature, as hath been before decreed.
2 Secondly, there is but a little less Leaven in that matter, that they hold of Concomitancy, by which they have spoiled the people of the use of the Cup; which both by Christs own institution, and by his express Commandment, saying; Drink ye all of this; doth in all trueth and uprightness belong unto them: and all this they have done under this shadow, that because no body is without blood, and they ⟨p. 62⟩have before (presupposing, that the Bread is turned into the Body; as indeed if men will presuppose, either unpossible or untrue things, every thing will follow of it) eaten the body, therefore must it needs follow, that they have drunk also his blood. But I know not, whether I should blame them for their beastliness, or reprove them for their pride, that dare thus presumptuously alter the Lords very Ordinance and Institution.
