The Doctrine of Ancient Fathers, concerning a Propitiatory Sacrifice.
SECT. IV.
ALbeit our Premises in the former part of this Controversie touching Sacrifice, and proving both by Scripture and an∣cient Fathers, that the Eucharist is not properly a Sacrifice, might give a Supersedeas to all your further contending by their Autho∣rity, for Defence of a Sacrifice properly propitiatory; because that which is not properly a Sacrifice, can no more be a Sacrifice pro∣perly Propitiatory, than that which is not properly a stone can be properly called a Mil-stone: Notwithstanding, we would be loth to be indebted unto you for an Answer to your objected Fathers, in this point also. The Objections, which you use and urge, are of two kinds: some, wherein there is no mention of the Body and Blood of Christ at all; and the other sort such, wherein they both are named and expressed.
