Of this place S. Ireney in the 4. book against heresies,1 in the .33. and .34. chapt. showeth, that the prayers and thanks giving of Saints be the same oblation which Malachi prophesied to be offered up through out the whole world. And shortly after Tertullian followed the same exposition against the Jews, and in the iiii. book against Marcion: whom other doctors of the Church have followed. But those pleasant sophistical triflers, I mean the popish divines, ⟨p. 170⟩do as it were triumph in those things, yet lead they in the mean time a shadowing and a most vain triumph. For they apply these things to their sacrifice, wherein they feign them selves under the some of bread & wine to offer up to God the father the body & blood of Christ, a propitiatory sacrifice for the quick and the dead. But Ireney and Tertullian speak not of such a sacrifice, but of the oblation of prayers, which the massemonging Priest offereth not up alone, but the whole congregation of Christ sanctified in his blood, giving thanks in the lords supper to God the father for their free redemption. These holy fathers never knew the sale Masses of these Canaanites.
Of this place S. Ireney in the 4. boke agaynste heresies,1 in the .33. and .34. chapt. sheweth, that the prayers and thankes geuyng of Sainctes be the same oblation whiche Malachie prophecied to be offered vp through out the whole worlde. And shortely after Tertullian followed the same exposition agyynst the Iewes, and in the iiii. boke agaynste Marcion: whom other doctours of the Churche haue followed. But those pleasaunt sophisticall triflers, I meane the popisshe diuines, ⟨p. 170⟩do as it were triumph in those thinges, yet leade they in the meane time a shadowyng and a most vaine triumphe. For they applie these thinges to their sacrifice, wherin they fayne them selues vnder the some of bread & wine to offer vp to God the father the body & bloud of Christ, a propiciatory sacrifice for the quicke and the dead. But Ireney and Tertullian speake not of such a sacrifice, but of the oblation of prayers, which the massemonging Prieste offereth not vp alone, but the whole cōgregation of Christ sanctified in his bloud, geuynge thankes in the lordes supper to God the father for theyr free redemption. These holy fathers neuer knewe the sale Masses of these Chananites.
