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.

IT is true, said the said bishop, the sacrament is called Eucharistia, a thanksgiving, because we there give thanks for our redemption; and it is also a sacrifice propitiatory for the quick and the dead, which thou shalt confess ere thou and I have done. Then the bishop called his men, and said, Have this fellow hence, and carry him to the King's-Bench, and charge the keeper he be straitly kept.
DR. TAYLOR kneeling down, held up both his hands and said, "Good Lord, I thank thee; and from the tyranny of the bishop of Rome, and all his detestable errors, idolatries, and abominations, good Lord deliver us: and God be praised for good king Edward." So they carried him to prison to the King's-Bench, where he lay prisoner almost two years.
