THE arguments used in p. 87, 88, &c. respecting the Priesthood of CHRIST, still manifesting the One Sacrifice of CHRIST in the Church, may serve incidentally to illustrate the error of the Romanists respecting both the Priesthood and the Sacrifice. St. Paul certainly implies that an _analogy_ exists between the Ministers and their functions in the respective Churches of the Jews and Christians. And in implying an _analogy_, he evidently takes for granted that there is not an _identity_. The Romanist seems to overlook this: his error is truly a Judaizing error; and it seems to result from a virtual forgetfulness, that the ONE great Sacrifice “once for all” _has been_ offered, and that the Christian Priesthood has only continuously to “manifest” it. In speaking of the “Priesthood” of the Church, and the Eucharistic “Sacrifice,” we certainly imply that the Christian Presbyter has truly holy functions to perform, in respect of the great atoning Sacrifice, _analogous_ to those of the Jewish priest: but we must be careful not to make them _identical_. St. Paul, in the epistle to the Hebrews, evidently assumes the analogy, but his argument is wholly inconsistent with the notion of identity. The Christian Priest cannot “sacrifice,” in a Jewish sense of the word; but in a much better. So it may be truly said, that he has to “offer” continually The Sacrifice once made by The DIVINE HIGH PRIEST. (Gal. iii. 1.) But the term “offering,” among primitive writers, is used _generally_; and does not exclusively refer to the Consecrated Elements alone.—See note E. in the former series of “Parochial Lectures,” on the Holy Catholic Church. There is some historical light thrown on our own Church’s view of this subject by the volume just published by the Principal of St. Alban’s Hall, Oxford, comparing the two Liturgies of King Edward VI.—Oxford, 1838. * * * * * THE END. * * * * * * * * * * GILBERT & RIVINGTON, Printers, St. John’s Square, London. * * * * * _By the same Author_, I.
