POPERY CONDEMNED BY<br />

supposition that Christ, in <strong>the</strong> last Sapper, offered<br />

his body <strong>and</strong> blood to God, as an atonement<br />

for sin, because it is said in <strong>the</strong> words of<br />

institution, " This is my body, which is broken<br />

" for you," kc, A very little attention to <strong>the</strong><br />

language of <strong>scripture</strong> will discover this conclusion<br />

to be totally unfounded. A future event,<br />

when near <strong>and</strong> certain, is frequently mentioned<br />

as having already occurred :<br />

" I'he Son of<br />

" man," says Christ, " is betrayed into <strong>the</strong><br />

*'<br />

h<strong>and</strong>s of sinners^." And if <strong>the</strong> R. give<br />

himself <strong>the</strong> trouble of convSulting ei<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong> Vulgate<br />

or <strong>the</strong> Missal, he will find a coincidence<br />

between <strong>the</strong>m <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> Protestant view of <strong>the</strong><br />

words of institution, " This is my blood which<br />

" shall be shed."<br />

But we need not rest <strong>the</strong> refutation of this<br />

doctrine on criticism. In <strong>the</strong> <strong>scripture</strong>s, <strong>the</strong><br />

necessity of repeating Christ's propitiatory sa*<br />

orifice is plainly denied.- In <strong>the</strong> tenth chapter<br />

of <strong>the</strong> epistle to <strong>the</strong> Hebrews, <strong>the</strong> R. will find<br />

an illustration of <strong>the</strong> sufficiency of that saciifice<br />

which our Redeemer perfected on <strong>the</strong> cross ;<br />

<strong>and</strong> likewise, of <strong>the</strong> inutility of all Jewish <strong>and</strong><br />

Popish propitiations ;<br />

" By <strong>the</strong> which will we<br />

'*<br />

are sanctified, throu;;h <strong>the</strong> offL-ring of <strong>the</strong><br />

" body of Jesus Christ oice. And every priest<br />

*•<br />

st<strong>and</strong>eth daily ministering, <strong>and</strong> offering often-<br />

" times <strong>the</strong> same sacrifices, which can never<br />

take<br />
