That Christ Sacrificed him self at his Supper, Hesychius affirmeth with these words: Quod Dn̄s jussit (Levit. 4.) ut Sacerdos virulum pro peccato Oblaturus, ponat manū super capu• eius, & jugulet eum coram Domino, Christum •ignificat, quem nemo obtulit, sed nec immolare poterat, nisi semetipsum ipse ad patiendum tradidisset. Propter quod non solùm dicebat, 1Potestatem habeo ponendi animam meam, & potestatem habeo iterum sumendi eam: sed & praeu•niens semetipsum in Coena Apostolorum immolavit, quod sciunt, qui Mysteriorum percipiunt virtutem. That our Lord commanded (saith he) the Priest, which should offer a calf for sin, to put his hand upon his head, and to stick him before our Lord, it signifieth Christ, whom no man hath offered, neither could any man Sacrifice him, except he had delivered him self to suffer. For the which he said not only, I have power to lay down my Soul,2 and I have power to take it again: But also preventing it, he offered up him self in Sacrifice in the Supper of the Apostles: which they know, that receive the virtue of the Mysteries. By these words of Hesychius we learn, that Christ offered, and Sacrificed his Body and Blood twice. First in that Holy Supper unbloudely, when he took Bread in his hands, and brake it, &c. Without Division of the Sacrifice, for it is but one and the same Sacrifice. And afterward on the Cross, with Shedding of his Blood, and that is it, he meaneth by the word, Preventing.
