The declaration of the sayd M. Perne in the 2. conclusion.
MAthew, Marke, Luke, and the apostle Paule, call it a commemoration or remembraunce of Christes body and bloud. And Paule to the Hebrews sayth: By one one∣ly oblation once offered, are we made perfect to eternall saluati∣on, &c. By hym therefore doe we offer vp the sacrifice of laud and prayse to God, that is the fruit of the lips, &c. It is called the Eucharist,* 1.1 because we offer to God praise and thankesgeuyng, with deuout myndes, and it is called the cup of thankesgeuyng, because we geue thankes to God thereby also. You shall preach forth the Lordes death, &c. that is, you shall geue thanks & be myndfull of his death, &c. Geue your bodies a quick and liuyng sacrifice, &c. The sacrifice of prayse and thankesgiuing, shall honour me, &c. Chrysostome sayth,* 1.2 The wyse men offered three kyndes of sacrifices, gold, frankencense and myrrhe, so we doe also, namely vertue, prayer, and almes deedes. These be the sa∣crifices wherewith Christ is pleased. And Augustine sayth there are no other sacrifices thē prayer, prayse and thanks∣geuyng, &c. Chrysostome homil. 46. vpon Iohn sayth, to be conuerted or turned into Christ, is to be made pertaker of hys body and bloud.
