RIDLEY. Christ, as St. Paul writeth, made one perfect sacrifice for the sins of the whole world▪ neither can any man reiterate that sacrifice of his, and yet is the communion an acceptable sacrifice to God of praise and thanksgiving; but to say that thereby sins are taken away (which wholly and perfectly was do•• by Christ's passion, of which the communion is only a memory) that is a great derogation from the merits of Christ's passion: for the sacrament was instituted, that we receiving it, and thereby recognizing and remembering his passion, should be partakers of the merits of the same. For otherwise doth this sacrament take upon it the office of Christ's passion whereby it might follow, that Christ died in vain. THE notaries penned this his answer to be affirmative.
LINCOLN.
