FOURTH ARGUMENT.
IN the mass, the passion of Christ is not in verity, but in a mystery representing the same: yea, even there where the Lord's supper is duly ministered.
BUT where Christ suffereth not, there is he not offered in verity: for the apostle saith, "Not that he might offer up himself often times (for then must he have suffered often times since the beginning of the world:") now where Christ is not offered, there is no propitiatory sacrifice.
ERGO, In the mass there is no propitiatory sacrifice: "For Christ appeared once in the latter end of the world, to put sin to flight by the offering up of himself. And as i• appointed to all men that they shall once die, and then cometh the judgment; even so Christ was once offered, to take away the sins of many. And unto them that look for him shall he appear again without sin unto salvation." See Heb. chap. ix.
