as_o the_o papist_n have_v go_v and_o certain_o nothing_o can_v be_v bring_v in_o defence_n of_o the_o papist_n which_o may_v not_o as_o well_o be_v allege_v for_o the_o heathen_n nay_o except_o some_o few_o logical_a distinction_n which_o prove_v very_o frivolous_a all_o the_o specious_a pretext_n which_o the_o papist_n make_v for_o justify_v their_o practice_n be_v to_o be_v find_v in_o the_o apology_n of_o the_o heathen_n do_v the_o papist_n say_v that_o their_o worship_n terminat_n not_o in_o the_o image_n itself_o but_o be_v carry_v by_o it_o to_o what_o be_v thereby_o represent_v the_o heathen_n say_v the_o same_o do_v the_o papist_n say_v that_o they_o use_v image_n only_o to_o remember_v they_o of_o the_o invisible_a object_n of_o their_o worship_n so_o do_v the_o heathen_a as_o appear_v from_o maximus_n tyrius_n and_o some_o other_o be_v the_o heathen_n tax_v with_o a_o gross_a conceit_n that_o the_o god_n inhabit_v their_o image_n and_o that_o some_o divinity_n reside_v in_o they_o the_o papist_n entertain_v the_o same_o fancy_n of_o they_o at_o least_o a_o great_a part_n of_o the_o vulgar_a do_v else_o what_o mean_v the_o high_a esteem_n of_o one_o image_n of_o the_o same_o person_n above_o another_o why_o be_v tedious_a pilgrimage_n undertake_v to_o visit_v the_o image_n of_o the_o virgin_n or_o some_o other_o saint_n in_o such_o and_o such_o place_n when_o the_o image_n of_o the_o same_o saint_n be_v every_o where_o how_o come_v it_o that_o miracle_n the_o gift_n of_o heal_a etc._n etc._n be_v ascribe_v to_o image_n if_o they_o do_v not_o think_v that_o there_o be_v something_o of_o divinity_n in_o they_o therefore_o the_o papist_n opinion_n and_o practice_n anent_o image_n be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o with_o the_o heathen_n for_o which_o they_o be_v account_v idolater_n in_o scripture_n and_o consequent_o all_o subtlety_n of_o the_o roman_a doctor_n will_v not_o free_v their_o church_n from_o this_o horrid_a and_o provoke_a crime_n and_o as_o both_o reason_n and_o scripture_n declare_v against_o they_o so_o they_o can_v plead_v here_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o ancient_a church_n for_o nothing_o be_v more_o manifest_a then_o that_o the_o primitive_a church_n abstain_v from_o the_o very_a appearance_n of_o this_o idolatry_n and_o superstition_n so_o far_o be_v they_o from_o practise_v it_o witness_v that_o know_a fact_n

will_v clear_o see_v the_o great_a disagrement_n betwixt_o the_o present_a church_n of_o rome_n and_o the_o primitive_a church_n for_o hundred_o of_o year_n so_o little_a reason_n have_v they_o to_o

yet_o this_o be_v sufficient_a which_o we_o come_v now_o in_o the_o last_o place_n to_o speak_v to_o and_o the_o rather_o because_o they_o go_v not_o about_o to_o excuse_v this_o nor_o do_v they_o colour_n it_o with_o subtle_a gloss_n as_o in_o former_a instance_n they_o do_v not_o cry_v out_o that_o they_o be_v wrong_v and_o calumniat_fw-la when_o they_o be_v say_v to_o worship_v the_o host_n for_o they_o public_o allow_v it_o and_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n have_v pronounce_v a_o anathema_n upon_o all_o who_o do_v not_o think_v the_o same_o worship_n due_a to_o god_n aught_o to_o be_v pay_v to_o this_o sacramental_a bread_n that_o whereon_o the_o worship_n of_o the_o host_n be_v found_v be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o transubstantiation_n or_o a_o total_a conversion_n of_o the_o bread_n into_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o therefore_o if_o this_o doctrine_n be_v take_v away_o or_o show_v unsufficient_a it_o will_v clear_o appear_v that_o they_o be_v guilty_a of_o idolatry_n as_o some_o of_o themselves_o plain_o acknowledge_v now_o as_o to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o transubstantiation_n it_o can_v be_v expect_v that_o we_o shall_v here_o treat_v of_o it_o full_o and_o particular_o for_o this_o will_v carry_v we_o too_o far_o from_o the_o design_n of_o this_o present_a treatise_n and_o make_v it_o swell_v too_o big_a all_o we_o shall_v say_v at_o present_a be_v that_o there_o be_v no_o evidence_n for_o it_o no_o ground_n to_o believe_v it_o and_o consequent_o no_o reason_n for_o establish_v this_o worship_n which_o they_o make_v to_o follow_v upon_o it_o if_o we_o examine_v the_o several_a way_n by_o which_o we_o come_v to_o know_v and_o to_o be_v assure_v of_o any_o thing_n it_o will_v easy_o appear_v that_o there_o be_v no_o evidence_n for_o transubstantiation_n no_o ground_n to_o believe_v that_o the_o host_n be_v the_o real_a body_n and_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n all_o thing_n be_v manifest_a to_o we_o either_o by_o sense_n or_o reason_n or_o revelation_n and_o what_o appear_v by_o none_o of_o these_o be_v a_o groundless_a conceit_n a_o fantastic_a opinion_n which_o ought_v not_o be_v make_v the_o foundation_n of_o any_o religious_a observance_n and_o such_o will_v the_o doctrine_n of_o transubstantiation_n be_v find_v to_o be_v for_o first_o if_o we_o examine_v our_o sense_n and_o believe_v their_o testimony_n there_o be_v no_o transubstantiation_n but_o the_o bread_n continue_v bread_n after_o consecration_n the_o figure_n shape_n cllour_n smell_v and_o taste_n be_v the_o same_o be_v before_o and_o if_o it_o be_v keep_v any_o while_n it_o mould_v and_o corrupt_v as_o bread_n so_o that_o to_o the_o appearance_n of_o sense_n there_o be_v nothing_o but_o bread_n and_o if_o we_o have_v recourse_n to_o reason_n it_o will_v not_o contradict_v but_o confirm_v the_o testimony_n of_o our_o sense_n and_o far_o show_v what_o a_o absurdity_n it_o be_v to_o think_v otherways_o because_o it_o will_v quite_o destroy_v the_o nature_n and_o property_n of_o body_n if_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v in_o the_o host_n for_o than_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o one_o body_n may_v be_v in_o diverse_a place_n at_o once_o that_o matter_n may_v be_v without_o extension_n that_o the_o accident_n effect_n and_o property_n of_o a_o body_n may_v remain_v when_o the_o body_n itself_o be_v destroy_v and_o such_o like_a absurdity_n thus_o transubstantiation_n be_v found_v neither_o upon_o sense_n nor_o reason_n but_o be_v contrare_fw-la to_o both_o and_o therefore_o if_o there_o be_v any_o such_o thing_n it_o must_v appear_v by_o revelation_n but_o it_o will_v appear_v as_o little_a this_o way_n as_o any_o other_o for_o there_o be_v no_o revelation_n to_o be_v trust_v but_o what_o be_v set_v down_o in_o the_o scripture_n and_o they_o be_v altogether_o silent_a what_o ever_o be_v the_o occasion_n of_o this_o doctrine_n sure_o the_o scripture_n be_v not_o for_o it_o be_v not_o plain_o assert_v nor_o be_v it_o to_o be_v deduce_v from_o clear_a or_o positive_a truth_n nay_o the_o scripture_n give_v so_o little_a ground_n to_o fancy_v this_o that_o on_o the_o contrary_a it_o speak_v so_o of_o this_o sacrament_n as_o may_v assure_v we_o there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n as_o the_o papist_n dream_n for_o it_o call_v it_o bread_n both_o before_o and_o after_o its_o consecration_n and_o the_o usual_a phrase_n for_o the_o celebration_n of_o this_o sacrament_n be_v in_o scripture_n the_o break_n of_o bread_n which_o will_v have_v be_v a_o very_a mean_a expression_n if_o the_o bread_n be_v turn_v to_o the_o body_n of_o jesus_n christ_n the_o pretext_n for_o transubstantiation_n from_o scripture_n

pay_v the_o same_o adoration_n when_o it_o be_v no_o sacrament_n as_o when_o it_o be_v for_o without_o any_o scruple_n they_o worship_v always_o and_o every_o where_o the_o bread_n which_o be_v pretend_v to_o be_v consecration_n when_o it_o be_v certain_a sometime_o nay_o ofttimes_o it_o be_v not_o transubstantiate_v into_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n because_o of_o the_o want_n of_o those_o necessary_a condition_n which_o infer_v that_o change_n and_o when_o it_o be_v but_o simple_a bread_n will_v it_o take_v off_o the_o guilt_n of_o idolatry_n to_o say_v i_o worship_v thou_o if_o thou_o be_v christ_n which_o be_v as_o if_o a_o woman_n shall_v pretend_v to_o excuse_v her_o adultery_n by_o say_v when_o she_o admit_v a_o stranger_n i_o do_v this_o if_o thou_o be_v my_o husband_n a_o woman_n be_v not_o honest_a and_o faithful_a if_o she_o embrace_v another_o upon_o light_a pretence_n and_o appearance_n she_o shall_v be_v always_o certain_a that_o he_o be_v her_o real_a husband_n to_o who_o she_o pay_v the_o duty_n of_o a_o wife_n in_o like_a manner_n none_o be_v faithful_a to_o god_n who_o throw_v away_o the_o worship_n due_a to_o he_o only_o upon_o uncertain_a object_n he_o be_v a_o jealous_a god_n as_o jealous_a of_o his_o glory_n as_o any_o earthly_a husband_n be_v of_o his_o honour_n and_o therefore_o will_v never_o be_v please_v with_o we_o if_o we_o worship_v rash_o when_o we_o be_v not_o sure_a that_o it_o be_v he_o we_o worship_v thus_o though_o it_o be_v grant_v that_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n shall_v be_v turn_v into_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n yet_o see_v it_o be_v so_o uncertain_a when_o it_o be_v de_fw-fr facto_fw-la thus_o turn_v it_o be_v much_o safe_o not_o to_o worship_v then_o to_o worship_n because_o there_o be_v no_o crime_n in_o not_o worship_v but_o by_o worship_v we_o may_v run_v the_o hazard_n of_o idolatry_n no_o king_n will_v find_v fault_n with_o one_o that_o be_v blind_a or_o half_a blind_a for_o not_o fall_v down_o and_o pay_v homage_n to_o he_o when_o he_o be_v ignorant_a of_o his_o presence_n but_o if_o such_o a_o one_o upon_o presumption_n of_o the_o king_n presence_n shall_v prostrate_v himself_o before_o the_o empty_a chair_n of_o state_n or_o mistake_v a_o courteour_n for_o the_o king_n and_o accost_v he_o with_o all_o the_o title_n of_o

altogether_o vain_a and_o unprofitable_a for_o it_o will_v find_v no_o acceptance_n with_o the_o king_n nay_o woo_a very_o ready_o displease_v and_o incense_v he_o because_o it_o will_v imply_v that_o the_o majesty_n of_o the_o king_n be_v as_o much_o to_o be_v see_v in_o other_o as_o in_o himself_o the_o case_n be_v the_o same_o in_o the_o sacrament_n which_o any_o one_o may_v easy_o apply_v but_o last_o we_o shall_v suppose_v in_o general_a that_o the_o doctrine_n of_o transubstantiation_n be_v true_a and_o also_o in_o particular_a that_o the_o sacrament_n itself_o be_v due_o consecrat_v so_o that_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n be_v actual_o transubstantiate_v into_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n yet_o it_o will_v not_o from_o hence_o follow_v that_o the_o sacrament_n be_v to_o be_v adore_v for_o which_o there_o be_v neither_o precept_n nor_o example_n in_o all_o scripture_n our_o saviour_n do_v not_o enjoin_v it_o himself_o nor_o yet_o the_o apostle_n after_o he_o neither_o do_v they_o look_v upon_o themselves_o as_o oblige_v to_o this_o for_o we_o read_v that_o at_o the_o first_o institution_n of_o the_o sacrament_n they_o receive_v it_o in_o the_o same_o manner_n they_o do_v their_o other_o common_a meal_n and_o we_o can_v conclude_v that_o the_o eucharist_n shall_v or_o may_v be_v adore_v because_o it_o be_v say_v this_o be_v my_o body_n even_o understand_v the_o word_n literal_o for_o if_o this_o reason_n hold_v good_a it_o will_v follow_v that_o all_o thing_n may_v be_v adore_v the_o body_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v only_o the_o object_n of_o adoration_n because_o of_o its_o union_n with_o the_o godhead_n wherefore_o if_o we_o may_v worship_v the_o sacrament_n because_o it_o contain_v that_o which_o be_v unite_v to_o the_o divine_a nature_n we_o may_v and_o also_o ought_v to_o worship_n every_o other_o thing_n where_o the_o essence_n of_o god_n be_v and_o therefore_o every_o stone_n and_o tree_n and_o animal_n all_o animat_fw-la and_o inanimat_n creature_n shall_v be_v worship_v for_o god_n be_v in_o they_o all_o but_o to_o worship_n god_n in_o and_o by_o the_o creature_n be_v flat_a idolatry_n god_n be_v not_o to_o be_v worship_v with_o a_o particular_a reverence_n to_o any_o thing_n but_o either_o when_o it_o be_v express_o command_v or_o when_o he_o show_v there_o visible_a ray_n of_o majesty_n and_o glory_n and_o even_o then_o we_o be_v not_o to_o worship_v the_o thing_n itself_o but_o god_n who_o show_v himself_o thus_o present_a at_o it_o as_o the_o israelite_n worship_v not_o the_o ark_n but_o towards_o the_o ark_n and_o as_o moses_n worship_v god_n who_o manifest_v himself_o in_o the_o burn_a bush_n but_o not_o the_o bush_n itself_o but_o where_o god_n or_o christ_n be_v not_o present_a by_o such_o visible_a ray_n of_o majesty_n there_o worship_n shall_v not_o be_v pay_v we_o be_v sure_a christ_n dwell_v in_o all_o the_o faithful_a but_o i_o hope_v none_o will_v say_v that_o every_o believer_n shall_v be_v worship_v so_o though_o christ_n shall_v be_v real_o present_a in_o the_o sacrament_n yet_o it_o will_v not_o follow_v that_o the_o element_n whereof_o it_o be_v constitute_v shall_v be_v adore_v no_o more_o than_o the_o manger_n wherein_o christ_n lie_v or_o the_o clothes_n which_o cover_v his_o body_n and_o therefore_o the_o papist_n who_o adore_v the_o sacrament_n itself_o that_o which_o they_o see_v feel_v and_o taste_v with_o their_o bodily_a sense_n they_o adore_v the_o creature_n with_o the_o creator_n and_o commit_v as_o great_a absurdity_n that_o be_v to_o say_v as_o gross_a idolatry_n as_o they_o who_o shall_v have_v adore_v christ_n garment_n as_o well_o as_o his_o person_n thus_o whatever_o way_n we_o consider_v the_o sacrament_n and_o the_o word_n of_o its_o institution_n whither_o we_o take_v they_o figurative_o as_o certain_o they_o shall_v or_o even_o literal_o as_o the_o papist_n will_v be_v at_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o the_o sacrament_n be_v no_o

they_o have_v such_o a_o high_a opinion_n of_o to_o believe_v it_o to_o be_v no_o less_o than_o the_o god_n who_o they_o shall_v adore_v and_o yet_o at_o the_o same_o time_n to_o treat_v it_o thus_o seem_v most_o disagreeable_a and_o inconsistent_a for_o this_o be_v both_o to_o elevat_fw-la and_o to_o depress_v it_o to_o raise_v it_o as_o high_a as_o be_v possible_a and_o at_o the_o same_o time_n to_o debase_v it_o as_o much_o as_o can_v be_v adoration_n be_v the_o high_a honour_n which_o can_v be_v pay_v but_o it_o speak_v out_o the_o great_a contempt_n of_o a_o thing_n to_o eat_v and_o
