Puritan Wisdom

On I Peter 3:18 –

"This confutes the Papists, who make Christs suffering imperfect two ways, namely, by teaching that we ourselves suffer the punishment of our sins (hence all their masses, penances, pilgrimages, almsdeeds, and charitable Works, to take away the punishment of their sins after Baptism) and by their renewing of Christs Sacrifice in the Mass, which is (as they say) a Propitiatory Sacrifice for the sins of the quick and the dead: Their distinction of bloody and unbloody is but a shift."

– John Rogers, 493.
