gh he had from the beginning of the world, and continually should
to the world's end, hang still on the cross; and he is as fresh hanging
on the cross now, to them that believe and trust in him, as he was
fifteen hundred years ago, when he was crucified.

Then let us trust upon his only death, and look for none other sacrifice
propitiatory, than the same bloody sacrifice, the lively sacrifice; and
not the dry sacrifice, but a bloody sacrifice. For Christ himself said,
_consummatum est_: "It is perfectly finished: I have taken at my Father's
hand the dispensation of redeeming mankind, I have wrought man's
redemption, and have despatched the matter." Why then mingle ye him? Why
do ye divide him? Why make you of him more sacrifices than one? Paul
saith, _Pascha nostrum immolatus est Christus_: "Christ our passover is
offered;" so that the thing is done, and Christ hath done it _semel_,
once for all; and it was a bloody sacrifice, not a dry sacrifice. Why
then, it is not the mass that availeth or profiteth for the quick and the
dead.

Wo worth thee, O devil, wo worth thee, that hast prevailed so far and so
long; that hast made England to worship false gods, forsaking Christ
their Lord. Wo worth thee, devil, wo worth thee, devil, and all thy
angels. If Christ by his death draweth all things to himself, and
draweth all men to salvation, and to heavenly bliss, that trust in him;
then the priests at the mass, at the popish mass, I say, what can they
draw, when Christ draweth all, but lands and goods from the right heirs?
The priests draw goods and riches, benefices and promotions to
themselves; and such as believed in their sacrifices they draw to the
devil. But Christ is he that draweth souls unto him by his bloody
sacrifice. What have we to do then but _epulari in Domino_, to eat in
the Lord at his supper? What other service have we to do to him, and
what other sacrifice have we to offer, but the mortification of our
flesh? What other oblation have we to make, but of obedience, of good
living, of good works, and of helping our neighbours? But as for our
redemption, it is done already, it cannot be better: Christ hath done
that thing so well, that it cannot be amended. It cannot be devised how
to make that any better than he hath done it. But the devil, by the help
of that Italian bishop yonder, his chaplain, hath laboured by all means
that he might to frustrate the death of Christ and the merits of his
passion
