of_o the_o church_n do_v not_o change_v in_o the_o point_n of_o the_o real_a presence_n and_o transubstantiation_n this_o article_n be_v long_o we_o shall_v divide_v it_o into_o two_o and_o we_o

prove_v that_o they_o mean_v the_o bread_n be_v the_o body_n of_o jesus_n christ_n because_o it_o be_v the_o sign_n the_o sacrament_n and_o the_o mean_n by_o which_o the_o efficacy_n of_o his_o

of_o his_o flesh_n and_o the_o efficacy_n of_o his_o death_n without_o any_o change_n happen_v in_o the_o substance_n thereof_o if_o say_v i_o the_o father_n of_o these_o age_n declare_v this_o plain_o it_o be_v obvious_a that_o they_o can_v draw_v any_o advantage_n from_o all_o these_o expression_n how_o high_a soever_o they_o appear_v now_o i_o take_v it_o for_o grant_v that_o they_o can_v not_o declare_v themselves_o more_o plain_o thereon_o than_o they_o have_v do_v as_o we_o shall_v hear_v hereafter_o and_o to_o the_o end_n that_o their_o declaration_n may_v appear_v to_o we_o more_o

need_v not_o prove_v unto_o you_o and_o it_o be_v this_o in_o these_o age_n it_o be_v the_o custom_n to_o hide_v the_o mystery_n not_o only_o from_o unbeliever_n but_o also_o from_o the_o catechuman_n which_o have_v not_o as_o yet_o communicate_v this_o conduct_n have_v two_o reason_n or_o foundation_n the_o first_o be_v the_o design_n to_o increase_v the_o respect_n which_o they_o desire_v christian_n shall_v retain_v for_o these_o mystery_n the_o second_o be_v a_o earnest_a passion_n to_o diminish_v the_o contempt_n which_o the_o pagan_n have_v for_o a_o mystery_n wherein_o nothing_o be_v see_v but_o bread_n and_o wine_n these_o two_o consideration_n oblige_v they_o never_o to_o speak_v of_o the_o sacrament_n but_o in_o obscure_a and_o dark_a word_n they_o desire_v never_o to_o

mean_a subtlety_n in_o the_o world._n for_o in_o despite_n to_o all_o their_o precaution_n every_o body_n know_v that_o they_o take_v nothing_o but_o bread_n and_o wine_n in_o the_o eucharist_n and_o they_o themselves_o say_v it_o oftentimes_o contrary_a to_o the_o design_n which_o they_o have_v of_o say_v nothing_o concern_v it_o but_o at_o last_o the_o design_n of_o hide_v the_o matter_n of_o the_o sacrament_n engage_v they_o to_o speak_v nothing_o of_o it_o but_o in_o dark_a term_n and_o always_o to_o serve_v themselves_o of_o the_o mystical_a term_n of_o the_o body_n the_o flesh_n and_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o always_o to_o use_v these_o expression_n and_o always_o to_o avoid_v those_o that_o be_v plain_a and_o without_o figure_n as_o much_o as_o they_o be_v able_a so_o that_o when_o it_o happen_v that_o they_o call_v the_o sign_n by_o their_o name_n and_o to_o speak_v to_o thing_n as_o they_o be_v indeed_o one_o only_a passage_n be_v more_o worth_a than_o a_o hundred_o where_o they_o speak_v figurative_o and_o mystical_o for_o this_o mystical_a language_n be_v among_o they_o a_o language_n of_o necessity_n and_o duty_n which_o they_o have_v impose_v upon_o themselves_o whereas_o when_o they_o speak_v of_o thing_n plain_o and_o naked_o it_o be_v the_o language_n of_o truth_n it_o be_v the_o language_n of_o the_o heart_n and_o soul_n which_o rescue_v itself_o from_o politic_a slavery_n and_o bondage_n it_o will_v not_o be_v therefore_o amaze_a if_o we_o find_v few_o passage_n in_o antiquity_n where_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o opinion_n of_o the_o
