Ireneus allegeth this place in the .31. and .32. chapt. of the .4. book. And by this mean he calleth Eucharistia which is giving of thanks, the sacrifice of Christians. For the maintainers of papistry do corrupt that place, and utter it so, as though it meant that the priest should sacrifice the real body of Christ for the quick and the dead. But the holy Bishop of Lions knew this filthy error. Away with them and their sophistry, whither they are worthy. I have spoke also before, something of the same matter.

And that it might clearly appear unto all men,1 that the prayers of the faithful, offered to God through Christ, are pleasant and acceptable, there is added: and the smoke of the odours ascendeth, that is to say, the prayers of the faithful were of God accepted: Therefore let us offer diligently our prayers unto God through Christ. For he heareth us, and delivereth us from evil. And the scripture many times calleth our prayers an acceptable sacrifice to God. The pla•es are in Hosea. 14. in the .50. Psalm. And in many other places. In the .141. the prophet sayeth. Let my prayer be directed as incense in thy sight, the lifting up of my hands an evening sacrifice. Primasius expounding this place, said how Christ ⟨p. 238⟩is said to have taken of the prayers of Saints. For because through him the prayers of all may come sweetly unto God.
