protestant_n differ_v from_o the_o papist_n in_o this_o that_o according_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o sacrament_n and_o the_o doctrine_n of_o holy_a scripture_n we_o make_v the_o substance_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n and_o they_o accident_n only_o to_o be_v sign_n in_o the_o second_o they_o not_o understand_v our_o opinion_n do_v misrepresent_v it_o for_o we_o do_v not_o hold_v as_o they_o say_v we_o do_v that_o only_o the_o merit_n of_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n be_v represent_v by_o the_o bless_a element_n but_o also_o that_o his_o very_a body_n which_o be_v crucify_v and_o his_o blood_n which_o be_v shed_v for_o we_o be_v true_o signify_v and_o offer_v that_o our_o soul_n may_v receive_v and_o possess_v christ_n as_o true_o and_o certain_o as_o the_o material_a and_o visible_a sign_n be_v by_o we_o see_v and_o receive_v and_o so_o in_o the_o three_o place_n because_o the_o thing_n signify_v be_v offer_v and_o give_v to_o we_o as_o true_o as_o the_o sign_n itself_o in_o this_o respect_n we_o own_o the_o union_n betwixt_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o element_n who_o use_n and_o office_n we_o hold_v to_o be_v change_v from_o what_o it_o be_v before_o but_o we_o deny_v what_o the_o papist_n affirm_v that_o the_o substance_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n be_v quite_o abolish_v and_o change_v into_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o our_o lord_n in_o such_o sort_n that_o the_o bare_a accident_n of_o the_o element_n do_v alone_o remain_v unite_v with_o christ_n body_n and_o blood_n and_o we_o also_o deny_v that_o the_o element_n still_o retain_v the_o nature_n of_o sacrament_n when_o not_o use_v according_a to_o divine_a institution_n that_o be_v give_v by_o christ_n minister_n and_o receive_v by_o his_o people_n so_o that_o christ_n in_o the_o consecrate_a bread_n ought_v not_o can_v be_v keep_v and_o preserve_v to_o be_v carry_v about_o because_o he_o be_v present_a only_a to_o the_o communicant_n as_o for_o the_o four_o and_o last_o point_n we_o do_v not_o say_v that_o in_o the_o lord_n supper_n we_o receive_v only_o the_o benefit_n of_o christ_n death_n and_o passion_n but_o we_o join_v the_o ground_n with_o its_o fruit_n that_o be_v christ_n with_o those_o advantage_n we_o receive_v from_o he_o affirm_v with_o st._n paul_n that_o the_o bread_n which_o we_o break_v 16._o be_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d the_o

and_o afterward_o carry_v into_o heaven_n differ_v from_o those_o of_o rome_n only_o in_o this_o that_o they_o will_v have_v our_o union_n with_o christ_n to_o be_v corporal_a and_o our_o eat_n of_o
