Iewel.
Christe onely is that Priest for euer, accordinge to the order of Mel∣chisedek: He hath made an endles Sacrifice: He him selfe hath offered vp him selfe vnto God his Father vpon the Crosse. Therefore God the Father saithe vnto him: Thou art that Priest foreuer: not any mor∣tal Creature, or vvorldly vvight, but thou (onely) beinge bothe God, and man, art that Priest for euer. S. Paule saithe, VVee ar made perfite, and Sanctified by that one Sacrifice once made vpon the Crosse.
S. Ihon the Euangelist saithe: He is the propitiaton, and Sacrifice for our sinnes.
S. Peter saithe. He carried our sinnes in his Bodie vpon the Tree. S. Paul saithe, God was in Christ reconcilinge the worlde vnto him selfe. Therefore S. Iohn the Baptiste saithe, Behold•• that Lambe of God, that taketh awaie the sinnes of the worlde.
Yf M. Hardinge, and his felovves doubte hereof, as they seeme to doo, let Ceriste him selfe beare vvitnesse to the price of his ovvne Bloude. Hanging vpon the Crosse, and yeldinge vp the Sprite, he sealed vp al vvith these vvordes, Consummatum est: That is to say, This is the Sacrifice for sinne: Hereby my Fathers wrathe is paci••ied: hereby al thinges are made perfite.
Thus Sacrifice is but one: wee maie looke for none other. It is ful, and perfite, wee maie looke for no better.
