state_n of_o his_o salvation_n 7._o by_o these_o ground_n clear_a enough_o in_o themselves_o every_o christian_n may_v easy_o discern_v what_o religion_n be_v secure_a in_o practice_n to_o wit_n that_o which_o remove_v he_o further_a from_o danger_n of_o that_o sentence_n who_o will_v not_o believe_v shall_v be_v damn_v according_a to_o this_o touchstone_n for_o the_o better_a instruction_n of_o the_o common_a sort_n i_o will_v examine_v the_o chief_a point_n now_o in_o question_n that_o by_o these_o example_n the_o rest_n may_v be_v easy_o examine_v what_o choice_n ought_v a_o man_n to_o make_v concern_v the_o real_a presence_n of_o christ_n body_n and_o blood_n in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o last_o supper_n 8._o to_o justify_v the_o belief_n thereof_o we_o have_v first_o the_o word_n of_o christ_n joan._n 6._o where_o he_o ample_o promise_v his_o body_n and_o blood_n my_o flesh_n be_v true_o meat_n and_o my_o blood_n etc._n etc._n he_o that_o eat_v my_o flesh_n etc._n etc._n he_o that_o will_v not_o believe_v this_o but_o understand_v it_o in_o a_o different_a sense_n from_o his_o predecessor_n persuade_v by_o those_o obscure_a word_n the_o spirit_n give_v life_n the_o flesh_n profit_v nothing_o expose_v he_o to_o danger_n of_o disbeliefe_n with_o the_o jew_n and_o blasphemy_n since_o verse_n 56._o it_o be_v say_v he_o that_o eat_v my_o flesh_n and_o drink_v my_o blood_n dwell_v in_o i_o and_o i_o in_o he_o and_o s_o paul_n to_o the_o col._n c._n 1._o you_o which_o be_v in_o time_n past_o stranger_n and_o enemy_n etc._n etc._n have_v he_o now_o reconcile_v in_o the_o body_n of_o his_o flesh_n through_o death_n to_o make_v you_o holy_a how_o then_o can_v those_o word_n the_o flesh_n profit_v nothing_o without_o danger_n be_v understand_v of_o the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n as_o profit_v nothing_o be_v it_o not_o profit_v to_o we_o that_o christ_n shall_v dwell_v in_o we_o and_o we_o in_o he_o that_o we_o be_v reconcile_v in_o the_o body_n of_o his_o flesh_n 9_o second_o the_o word_n of_o christ_n perform_v this_o be_v my_o body_n take_v and_o eat_v do_v this_o etc._n etc._n which_o word_n if_o we_o wrest_v to_o a_o figurative_a sense_n we_o must_v bring_v clear_a scripture_n for_o it_o else_o our_o interpretation_n be_v dangerous_a deny_v such_o a_o clear_a mystery_n upon_o human_a motive_n three_o we_o have_v the_o testimony_n of_o s._n paul_n 1_o cor._n 11._o if_o these_o place_n be_v obscure_a we_o have_v beside_o the_o consent_n of_o nation_n the_o common_a voice_n of_o the_o whole_a christian_a world_n for_o a_o thousand_o five_o hundred_o year_n without_o contradiction_n final_o in_o the_o belief_n and_o practice_v thereof_o there_o be_v no_o impiety_n but_o praise_n and_o honour_n of_o christ_n who_o upon_o sufficient_a ground_n be_v suppose_v present_a under_o the_o form_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n he_o be_v receive_v with_o reverence_n the_o soul_n be_v first_o prepare_v with_o hearty_a sorrow_n for_o sin_n past_a accompany_v with_o love_n thankfulness_n and_o lively_a remembrance_n of_o his_o sacred_a passion_n etc._n etc._n for_o denial_n of_o this_o belief_n we_o have_v but_o small_a authority_n not_o one_o clear_a testimony_n of_o scripture_n that_o interprete_v those_o word_n of_o christ_n as_o figurative_o speak_v all_o other_o argument_n can_v be_v but_o probable_a 10._o now_o i_o ask_v any_o indifferent_a man_n judgement_n what_o he_o will_v do_v in_o case_n a_o perfect_a figure_n of_o christ_n shall_v visible_o appear_v common_o acknowledge_v and_o worship_v by_o all_o with_o sincere_a intention_n if_o furthermore_o it_o be_v deliver_v common_o that_o to_o suspect_v the_o apparition_n as_o a_o illusion_n of_o satan_n be_v a_o wrong_n to_o christ_n will_v he_o adventure_v to_o spit_v at_o it_o will_v he_o not_o rather_o forbear_v that_o and_o judge_v it_o secure_a to_o believe_v and_o worship_v with_o other_o since_o therein_o he_o find_v no_o hurt_n but_o invincible_a motive_n to_o do_v so_o clear_a than_o it_o be_v what_o we_o ought_v to_o resolve_v in_o this_o point_n since_o for_o the_o belief_n we_o have_v invincible_a motive_n in_o the_o practice_n there_o be_v no_o danger_n of_o any_o impiety_n as_o certain_o there_o be_v in_o the_o denial_n if_o we_o grant_v but_o probability_n in_o the_o belief_n 11._o only_o it_o may_v be_v object_v that_o if_o christ_n be_v not_o under_o those_o form_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n there_o be_v danger_n of_o idolatry_n but_o this_o be_v a_o manifest_a mistake_n for_o believer_n adore_v not_o bread_n nor_o

with_o interior_a as_o of_o body_n and_o soul_n the_o outward_a be_v indifferent_a to_o god_n and_o creature_n the_o interior_a join_v with_o it_o make_v the_o difference_n exterior_a reverence_n apply_v by_o our_o intention_n to_o a_o temporal_a lord_n be_v but_o a_o civil_a worship_n the_o same_o apply_v by_o our_o intention_n to_o a_o saint_n as_o a_o creature_n of_o god_n high_o in_o his_o

thus_o it_o be_v perfect_a adoration_n and_o due_a only_o to_o god_n he_o than_o that_o believe_v christ_n be_v contain_v sacramental_o under_o the_o form_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n may_v secure_o adore_v since_o his_o adoration_n proceed_v from_o his_o belief_n transfer_v the_o outward_a act_n from_o all_o creature_n &_o direct_v it_o to_o god_n himself_o even_o in_o case_n in_o his_o
