The B. of Sarisburie.

We deny not, but it may well be said, Christ at his last Supper offered up him self unto his Father: Albeit, not Really, and in deed, but, according to M. Hardinges own Distinction, in a Figure, or in a Mystery: in such sort, as we say, Christ was offered in the Sacrifices of the Old Law: and as S. John saith,¹ Agnus Occisus ab Origine Mundi: The Lamb was slain from the beginning of the World. As Christ• was slain at the Table, so was he Sacrificed at the Table. But he was not slain at the Table Verily, and in deed, but only in a Mystery: Therefore he was not Sacrificed at the Table Really, and in deed, but only in a Mystery.

Wee denie not, but it may wel be saide, Christe at his laste Supper offered vp him selfe vnto his Father: Albeit, not Really, and in deede, but, accordinge to M. Hardinges owne Distinction, in a Figure, or in a Mysterie: in suche sorte, as wee saye, Christe was offered in the Sacrifices of the Olde Lawe: and as S. Iohn saithe,¹ Agnus Occisus ab Origine Mundi: The Lambe was slaine from the beginninge of the VVorlde. As Christ• was slaine at the Table, so was he Sacrificed at the Table. But he was not slaine at the Table Uerily, and in deede, but onely in a Mysteri•: Therefore he was not Sacrificed at the Table Really, and in déede, but onely in a Mysterie.
