into_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n the_o worship_n of_o the_o host_n be_v gross_a idolatry_n but_o we_o be_v pass_v all_o iss_n and_o and_o be_v and_o have_v demonstrate_v that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o such_o change_n of_o the_o bread_n into_o christ_n body_n and_o consequent_o we_o have_v demonstrate_v that_o the_o papist_n in_o worship_v of_o the_o host_n be_v guilty_a of_o gross_a idolatry_n and_o the_o best_a friend_n they_o have_v in_o the_o world_n can_v free_v they_o from_o it_o so_o likewise_o it_o can_v be_v no_o long_o a_o moot-point_n or_o a_o disputable_a matter_n whether_o it_o be_v criminal_a to_o call_v the_o host_n their_o lord_n god_n their_o maker_n their_o former_a and_o their_o creator_n when_o we_o have_v demonstrate_v that_o it_o can_v be_v so_o and_o that_o it_o be_v only_o a_o bit_n of_o bread_n and_o to_o affirm_v bread_n to_o be_v a_o god_n if_o it_o be_v not_o blasphemy_n it_o want_v a_o name_n in_o our_o language_n in_o short_a that_o can_v never_o be_v a_o divine_a mystery_n which_o be_v not_o in_o a_o possibility_n of_o be_v a_o divine_a truth_n and_o consequent_o the_o mystery_n and_o miraculousness_n of_o transubstantiation_n which_o have_v be_v the_o old_a and_o dark_a stronghold_n of_o popery_n be_v utter_o demolish_v and_o the_o papist_n have_v lose_v that_o shelter_n not_o only_o all_o the_o absurdity_n of_o their_o belief_n concern_v it_o will_v fall_v upon_o they_o with_o their_o whole_a weight_n but_o also_o all_o their_o absurd_a practice_n in_o reference_n to_o it_o to_o which_o i_o shall_v now_o proceed_v 2._o the_o second_o general_n head_n be_v of_o practical_a absurdity_n by_o which_o i_o mean_v such_o unreasonable_a and_o unworthy_a action_n as_o be_v do_v by_o the_o papist_n in_o pursuance_n of_o their_o doctrine_n of_o transubstantiation_n and_o here_o i_o can_v by_o no_o mean_n charge_v they_o with_o eat_v their_o maker_n or_o eat_v man_n flesh_n and_o drink_v man_n blood_n in_o the_o sacrament_n for_o i_o have_v show_v it_o to_o be_v impossible_a for_o they_o to_o do_v either_o of_o these_o but_o yet_o because_o they_o intend_v and_o profess_v to_o do_v both_o perhaps_o the_o guilt_n be_v no_o less_o than_o if_o they_o real_o do_v they_o and_o the_o absurdity_n of_o their_o practice_n in_o this_o behalf_n be_v very_o equal_o match_v with_o the_o absurdity_n and_o contradictiousness_n of_o their_o belief_n for_o as_o they_o hold_v the_o sacrament_n to_o be_v the_o natural_a body_n of_o christ_n and_o yet_o say_v it_o be_v in_o several_a place_n at_o once_o and_o be_v make_v at_o several_a time_n and_o be_v in_o the_o form_n of_o bread_n whereby_o it_o appear_v to_o be_v not_o the_o natural_a body_n of_o christ_n but_o a_o piece_n of_o bread_n wherein_o they_o say_v and_o unsay_v at_o once_o so_o likewise_o they_o worship_v and_o serve_v and_o pray_v to_o that_o which_o i_o have_v demonstrate_v to_o be_v a_o bit_n of_o bread_n as_o if_o it_o be_v a_o god_n and_o immediate_o they_o undo_v all_o that_o they_o have_v do_v and_o treat_v he_o not_o at_o all_o like_a a_o god_n but_o eat_v he_o up_o as_o if_o he_o be_v a_o bit_n of_o bread._n so_o also_o they_o say_v express_o that_o the_o common_a nature_n of_o mankind_n abhor_v the_o eat_n of_o man_n flesh_n and_o drink_v of_o man_n blood_n and_o yet_o they_o eat_v and_o drink_v that_o of_o which_o they_o say_v they_o have_v great_a assurance_n that_o it_o be_v man_n flesh_n and_o man_n blood_n than_o the_o testimony_n of_o all_o their_o sense_n can_v give_v they_o but_o omit_v these_o thing_n and_o the_o great_a indignity_n which_o be_v offer_v to_o our_o bless_a saviour_n by_o such_o like_a practice_n i_o shall_v be_v it_o take_v notice_n of_o their_o idolatry_n in_o worship_v a_o piece_n of_o bread_n as_o if_o it_o be_v god_n himself_o and_o this_o practice_n be_v unavoidable_a idolatry_n if_o the_o doctrine_n of_o transubstantiation_n shall_v chance_v to_o be_v false_a and_o if_o it_o be_v not_o false_a than_o a_o thousand_o million_o of_o contradiction_n must_v be_v all_o of_o they_o true_a so_o that_o if_o the_o apostle_n rend_v their_o clothes_n when_o the_o lycaonian_o say_v that_o the_o god_n be_v come_v down_o in_o the_o likeness_n of_o man_n and_o be_v go_v to_o give_v they_o divine_a honour_n sure_o they_o will_v hardly_o spare_v their_o flesh_n but_o rend_v that_o too_o if_o they_o shall_v be_v show_v more_o than_o a_o hundred_o god_n almighty_n together_o in_o the_o form_n of_o bread_n and_o shall_v see_v divine_a worship_n pay_v to_o they_o especial_o since_o the_o apostle_n evangelize_v man_n to_o turn_v away_o from_o idolatry_n to_o the_o live_a god_n who_o make_v heaven_n and_o earth_n if_o moreover_o the_o papist_n shall_v plead_v gospel_n for_o their_o idolatry_n and_o say_v that_o they_o be_v evangelize_v into_o it_o i_o have_v often_o think_v what_o st._n paul_n and_o barnabas_n will_v have_v say_v and_o do_v in_o that_o case_n but_o what_o they_o then_o cry_v out_o and_o say_v to_o the_o lycaonian_o sir_n why_o do_v you_o these_o thing_n for_o we_o be_v man_n of_o like_a passion_n with_o you_o methinks_v the_o host_n itself_o say_v as_o loud_a every_o day_n to_o the_o papist_n sir_n why_o do_v you_o these_o thing_n for_o i_o be_o no_o object_n of_o worship_n but_o like_o another_o piece_n of_o bread._n i_o have_v all_o the_o property_n and_o be_o subject_a to_o all_o the_o casualty_n of_o any_o other_o bit_n of_o bread_n for_o either_o i_o be_o present_o eat_v and_o swallow_v down_o as_o any_o other_o bread_n be_v or_o else_o if_o i_o be_v keep_v i_o grow_v stale_a and_o mouldy_a i_o be_o put_v into_o a_o box_n for_o fear_n of_o mischance_n for_o if_o the_o mouse_n get_v i_o i_o be_o go_v alas_o i_o be_o bread_n i_o be_o no_o god._n thus_o to_o my_o apprehension_n the_o host_n itself_o continual_o cry_v out_o and_o reason_n with_o they_o and_o oh_o will_v to_o god_n that_o they_o will_v consider_v to_o as_o good_a purpose_n as_o the_o lycaonian_o do_v i_o shall_v be_v content_a to_o endure_v great_a hardship_n to_o see_v that_o happy_a day_n 2._o the_o reproach_n which_o be_v do_v to_o our_o saviour_n in_o the_o worship_v of_o the_o host_n be_v intolerable_a for_o will_v it_o not_o be_v a_o unsufferable_a affront_n to_o the_o majesty_n of_o earthly_a prince_n to_o take_v a_o bundle_n of_o rag_n and_o place_n it_o in_o the_o throne_n and_o serve_v it_o upon_o the_o knee_n and_o cry_v god_n save_o the_o king_n and_o treat_v it_o in_o every_o respect_n like_o a_o crown_v head_n and_o to_o destroy_v every_o good_a subject_n that_o will_v not_o join_v in_o this_o contumelious_a pageantry_n and_o be_v it_o nothing_o for_o the_o great_a god_n of_o heaven_n to_o be_v use_v in_o a_o more_o reproachful_a manner_n for_o i_o appeal_v to_o all_o mankind_n consider_v the_o infinite_a distance_n there_o be_v betwixt_o the_o person_n whether_o it_o be_v not_o a_o less_o scorn_n and_o indignity_n to_o set_v up_o a_o king_n of_o clouts_n than_o a_o breaden_a god_n a_o contemptible_a crumb_n of_o doughty_n which_o be_v knead_v and_o bake_v and_o cross_v and_o mutter_v into_o the_o most_o high_a god_n god_n over_o all_o bless_v for_o evermore_o i_o may_v descend_v to_o many_o more_o particular_n and_o enlarge_v upon_o they_o but_o this_o have_v already_o be_v do_v by_o learnede_a hand_n and_o now_o o_o you_o papist_n i_o have_v discharge_v my_o conscience_n for_o it_o have_v trouble_v i_o that_o i_o have_v not_o long_o since_o lay_v these_o thing_n plain_a and_o open_a before_o you_o and_o if_o i_o know_v how_o to_o incline_v you_o to_o consider_v they_o i_o will_v not_o think_v much_o to_o kneel_v down_o at_o your_o foot_n but_o if_o you_o will_v not_o consider_v they_o with_o that_o evenness_n of_o mind_n which_o be_v always_o necessary_a to_o conviction_n but_o rather_o will_v consider_v they_o with_o that_o prejudice_n and_o indignation_n which_o shall_v put_v you_o upon_o contradict_v and_o object_v and_o use_v all_o your_o subtlety_n and_o evasion_n then_o i_o beg_v of_o you_o to_o do_v this_o thorough_o and_o spare_v i_o not_o for_o i_o have_v write_v this_o discourse_n only_o for_o the_o honour_n of_o god_n and_o out_o of_o love_n to_o truth_n which_o never_o lose_v any_o thing_n by_o be_v try_v and_o examine_v but_o still_o come_v
