delude_a soul_n it_o will_v be_v necessary_a to_o examine_v the_o pretend_a ground_n of_o so_o false_a a_o doctrine_n and_o to_o lay_v open_a the_o monstrous_a absurdity_n of_o it_o answer_n and_o

now_o to_o show_v the_o validity_n of_o this_o proof_n i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o make_v good_a these_o two_o thing_n i._o that_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n of_o understand_v these_o word_n of_o

there_o be_v any_o it_o must_v be_v from_o one_o of_o these_o two_o reason_n either_o because_o there_o be_v no_o figurative_a expression_n in_o scripture_n which_o i_o think_v no_o man_n ever_o yet_o say_v or_o else_o because_o a_o sacrament_n admit_v of_o no_o figure_n which_o will_v be_v very_o absurd_a for_o any_o man_n to_o say_v since_o it_o be_v of_o the_o very_a nature_n of_o a_o sacrament_n to_o represent_v and_o exhibit_v some_o invisible_a grace_n and_o benefit_n by_o a_o outward_a sign_n and_o figure_n and_o especial_o since_o it_o can_v be_v deny_v but_o that_o in_o the_o institution_n of_o this_o very_a sacrament_n our_o saviour_n use_v figurative_a expression_n and_o several_a word_n which_o can_v be_v take_v strict_o and_o literal_o when_o he_o give_v the_o cup_n he_o say_v this_o cup_n be_v the_o new_a testament_n in_o my_o blood_n which_o be_v shed_v for_o you_o and_o for_o many_o for_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n where_o first_o the_o cup_n be_v put_v for_o wine_n contain_v in_o the_o cup_n or_o else_o if_o the_o word_n by_o literal_o take_v so_o as_o to_o signify_v a_o substantial_a change_n it_o be_v not_o of_o the_o wine_n but_o of_o the_o cup_n and_o that_o not_o into_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n but_o into_o the_o new_a testament_n or_o new_a covenant_n in_o his_o blood._n beside_o that_o his_o blood_n be_v say_v then_o to_o be_v shed_v and_o his_o body_n to_o be_v break_v which_o be_v not_o till_o his_o passion_n which_o follow_v the_o institution_n and_o first_o celebration_n of_o this_o sacrament_n answer_n first_o presence_n that_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n of_o understand_v those_o word_n of_o our_o saviour_n in_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o real_a presence_n or_o transubstantiation_n for_o these_o two_o reason_n 1._o because_o although_o there_o be_v many_o figurative_a expression_n in_o scripture_n which_o all_o man_n allow_v yet_o this_o in_o relation_n to_o the_o case_n in_o hand_n be_v not_o such_o 2._o although_o a_o sacrament_n admit_v of_o figure_n which_o no_o man_n be_v so_o absurd_a as_o to_o deny_v since_o it_o be_v of_o the_o very_a nature_n of_o a_o sacrament_n to_o represent_v and_o exhibit_v some_o invisible_a grace_n and_o benefit_n by_o a_o outward_a sign_n and_o figure_n yet_o the_o figure_n do_v not_o lie_v where_o the_o author_n pretend_v it_o do_v the_o rule_n which_o man_n ought_v to_o observe_v in_o their_o discourse_n in_o relation_n to_o figure_n be_v this_o that_o a_o figure_n shall_v not_o be_v use_v which_o the_o auditor_n do_v not_o easy_o apprehend_v to_o be_v so_o to_o compare_v therefore_o a_o figure_n which_o all_o the_o world_n can_v easy_o understand_v to_o be_v so_o with_o a_o expression_n which_o no_o man_n can_v construe_v to_o be_v a_o figure_n according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o human_a discourse_n be_v very_o absurd_a yet_o such_o be_v the_o author_n instance_n from_o scripture_n from_o whence_o he_o allege_v that_o when_o our_o

wherein_o these_o species_n do_v subsist_v or_o let_v they_o but_o give_v a_o true_a account_n of_o the_o nature_n of_o any_o small_a particle_n of_o that_o matter_n which_o compose_v the_o universe_n before_o they_o pry_v too_o far_o into_o the_o secret_n of_o divine_a and_o supernatural_a mystery_n and_o think_v that_o god_n can_v do_v nothing_o but_o in_o such_o a_o manner_n as_o they_o can_v

of_o body_n 237._o that_o if_o there_o be_v as_o plain_a revelation_n of_o transubstantiation_n as_o of_o those_o than_o this_o argument_n be_v good_a and_o that_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a to_o
