till the worldes end. These are the wordes: In euery place incense shall be offered to my name, and a pure offering. These wordes of the Prophet being effectually applied, will confound the respondent whatsoeuer hee shall answere. For first, the prophet speaketh of the oblatiō of the new testament, [ 1] as your selues cannot deny. Secondly, the prophet saith, that [ 2] this oblation must be in euery place, and so it cannot be vnder∣stoode of Christs bodie offered vpon the crosse: for that obla∣tion was but in one place, euen without the walles of Ierusa∣lem. Thirdly, it cannot be vnderstood of the sacrifice of praise [ 3] & thanksgiuing: bicause whatsoeuer proceedeth from vs, is im∣pure & polluted. Yea, as an other prophet saith;* 1.2 Al our righte∣ousnes is as filthie clouts: and so no oblation that is ours, can be pure. Therefore he speaketh of Christs body offered in the masse, which is a pure oblation indeede.
