DR. TAYLOR answered, Nay, I blaspheme not the blessed sacrament which Christ instituted, but I reverence it as a true christian man ought to do, and confess, that Christ ordained the holy communion in the remembrance of his death and passion, which when we keep according to his ordinance, we, through saith, eat the body of Christ, and drink his blood, giving thanks for our redemption, and this is our sacrifice for the quick and the dead, to give ⟨p. 478⟩thanks for his merciful goodness showed to us, in that he gave his Son Christ to die for us.

THOU sayest well, said the bishop. It is all that thou hast said, and more too; for it is a propitiatory sacrifice for the quick and the dead.
THEN answered Dr. Taylor, Christ gave himself to die for our redemption upon the cross, whose bobby there offered was the propitiatory sacrifice full, perfect, and sufficient unto salvation for all them that believe in him. And this sacrifice did our Saviour Christ offer in his own person once for all, neither can any priest any more offer him, nor need we any more propitiatory sacrifice: and therefore I say with Chrysostom, and all the doctors: Our sacrifice is only memorative, in the remembrance of Christ's death and passion, a sacrifice of thanksgiving; and therefore the fathers called it Eucharistia: and no other sacrifice hath the the church of God.
