Welchman on Article XXXI: Of the one Oblation of Christ finished upon the Cross

and since it is perfect, it ought not to be repeated. ce Heb. x. 10. Je are sanctisied through the Offering of the Body of Fesus Christ ence for all. And 1 Jobn ii. 2. And He is the Propitiation 0 our Sins; and not for ours ent, but alse for the Sins of the whole I/orld,

See allo Ignatius. The Passion of Christ is our Re- © surrection.” And Trenæus. © It is one and the fame Christ « Tefus, the Son of God, who by his Pashon hath reconciled us to God, For He hath truly saved us.” And again,

For this Cause Christ died, that the T eftament of the Gos- <« pel being open to, and read by the whole World, might « first make those who were in Bondage, free, and then con- 5 stitute them Heirs of those Things which were His.“

None oller Satissuction.] See Heb. x. 26. ‘1f we sin wil. fully after that we have received the Knowledge 4 the Truth, there remaineth no more Sacrifice for Sins. vee also St.

Priest entereth into the Holy Place every Year with Blood of Others : For then he must often have suffered since the Foun- dation of the IVorld : But now once in the End of the World, he hath appeared to put away Sin by the Sacrifice of Himself.

This certainly, if any thing, be so, is a.blasphemous Fable, But if he is only offered my/tically, that is, if in the Mass that one only Sacrifice, which was offered upon the Cross, is again represented upon the Altar; then there is not in the Mass, a true, pro- per, and propitiatory Sacrifice, as the Romani/?s believe;

but only a Commemoration of a true, proper, and propi-

tiatory Sacrifice, as the Reformed believe.
