A59787	An answer to a late Dialogue between a new Catholick convert and a Protestant to prove the mystery of the Trinity to be as absurd a doctrine as transubstantiation : by way of short notes on the said dialogue.	Sherlock, William, 1641?-1707.	1687 (1687)	Wing S3261; ESTC R10173	11,401	17

natural_a reason_n indeed_o can_v discover_v the_o plurality_n of_o person_n in_o the_o godhead_n and_o therefore_o i_o can_v give_v no_o reason_n why_o there_o shall_v be_v three_o person_n and_o neither_o more_o nor_o less_o as_o the_o plurality_n of_o person_n so_o the_o number_n of_o they_o depend_v whole_o upon_o revelation_n and_o the_o scripture_n assure_v i_o there_o be_v but_o three_o and_o therefore_o i_o believe_v no_o more_o and_o because_o there_o be_v no_o more_o therefore_o i_o believe_v it_o be_v impious_a to_o say_v that_o there_o may_v be_v as_o well_o three_o hundred_o person_n in_o the_o godhead_n as_o three_o thus_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o trinity_n though_o it_o be_v above_o the_o comprehension_n of_o our_o finite_a mind_n as_o every_o thing_n must_v be_v which_o be_v infinite_a yet_o it_o do_v not_o contradict_v any_o necessary_a principle_n of_o reason_n as_o transubstantiation_n do_v which_o be_v contrary_a to_o sense_n and_o reason_n whether_o any_o body_n be_v bread_n or_o flesh_n fall_v under_o the_o notice_n of_o sense_n and_o therefore_o our_o sense_n must_v judge_n of_o it_o and_o all_o our_o sense_n tell_v we_o that_o the_o consecrate_a bread_n and_o wine_n be_v bread_n and_o wine_n still_o not_o flesh_n and_o blood_n so_o that_o we_o have_v great_a evidence_n against_o transubstantiation_n than_o we_o can_v have_v against_o the_o trinity_n for_o we_o have_v the_o evidence_n of_o sense_n that_o it_o be_v not_o flesh_n but_o bread_n and_o no_o man_n can_v pretend_v to_o such_o evidence_n as_o this_o that_o there_o be_v not_o three_o divine_a person_n in_o the_o godhead_n and_o this_o make_v some_o difference_n between_o they_o as_o for_o reason_n if_o we_o can_v understand_v what_o the_o property_n of_o a_o body_n be_v we_o can_v know_v nothing_o and_o therefore_o this_o be_v a_o proper_a object_n of_o human_a reason_n though_o the_o trinity_n be_v not_o and_o if_o our_o reason_n discover_v a_o great_a many_o absurdity_n and_o contradiction_n and_o impossibility_n in_o transubstantiation_n we_o must_v confess_v that_o it_o be_v absurd_a and_o impossible_a as_o to_o take_v notice_n of_o some_o few_o to_o say_v that_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o bread_n be_v turn_v into_o the_o natural_a flesh_n of_o christ_n which_o suffer_v on_o the_o cross_n sixteen_o hundred_o year_n ago_o be_v to_o say_v that_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n be_v make_v to_o day_n which_o be_v 1600_o year_n ago_o which_o be_v a_o contradiction_n for_o what_o be_v make_v 1600_o year_n ago_o can_v be_v make_v to_o day_n unless_o it_o be_v 1600_o year_n before_o it_o be_v make_v or_o be_v make_v 1600_o year_n after_o it_o be_v make_v and_o thus_o the_o same_o individual_a body_n must_v be_v and_o not_o be_v at_o the_o same_o time_n it_o be_v essential_a to_o the_o same_o body_n to_o be_v but_o in_o one_o place_n at_o a_o time_n and_o yet_o all_o confess_v that_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n be_v whole_a and_o entire_a in_o heaven_n how_o then_o be_v the_o same_o body_n at_o the_o same_o time_n on_o the_o altar_n nay_o on_o as_o many_o altar_n as_o there_o be_v in_o the_o christian_a world_n at_o the_o same_o time_n the_o body_n of_o christ_n in_o heaven_n have_v the_o just_a proportion_n and_o dimension_n of_o a_o human_a body_n in_o the_o consecrate_a host_n it_o be_v without_o any_o extension_n or_o distinction_n of_o part_n whole_a and_o entire_a in_o the_o least_o crumb_n of_o bread_n now_o for_o the_o same_o individual_a body_n to_o be_v extend_v and_o not_o extend_v at_o the_o same_o time_n be_v a_o contradiction_n and_o though_o we_o can_v suppose_v that_o christ_n can_v bestow_v such_o a_o supernatural_a kind_n of_o existence_n on_o his_o body_n as_o to_o subsist_v without_o extension_n of_o part_n yet_o how_o can_v the_o same_o body_n at_o the_o same_o time_n be_v extend_v and_o not_o extend_v as_o it_o must_v be_v if_o the_o same_o body_n be_v extend_v in_o heaven_n and_o not_o extend_v in_o the_o host._n the_o sacramental_a body_n of_o christ_n be_v clothe_v with_o the_o species_n of_o bread_n be_v it_o so_o in_o heaven_n too_o if_o not_o how_o be_v the_o same_o body_n at_o the_o same_o time_n with_o and_o without_o the_o species_n of_o bread_n the_o sacramental_a body_n of_o christ_n be_v his_o dead_a and_o break_a body_n the_o body_n of_o christ_n in_o heaven_n be_v a_o live_n glorify_a body_n now_o if_o this_o be_v the_o same_o body_n the_o same_o body_n must_v be_v dead_a and_o alive_a break_a and_o whole_a at_o the_o same_o time_n the_o romanist_n tell_v we_o that_o the_o consecrate_a bread_n be_v the_o whole_a body_n of_o christ_n flesh_n and_o blood_n too_o which_o must_v go_v together_o and_o yet_o that_o the_o consecrate_a cup_n be_v the_o natural_a blood_n of_o christ_n shed_v out_o of_o his_o body_n so_o that_o it_o seem_v the_o same_o body_n on_o the_o altar_n be_v both_o break_v and_o whole_a and_o the_o same_o blood_n be_v in_o his_o vein_n and_o pour_v out_o of_o they_o at_o the_o same_o time_n now_o i_o will_v ask_v whether_o christ_n in_o heaven_n have_v any_o blood_n which_o be_v separate_v from_o his_o body_n if_o he_o have_v not_o then_o how_o be_v the_o consecrate_a cup_n which_o be_v his_o blood_n shed_v for_o we_o and_o therefore_o out_o of_o his_o body_n that_o natural_a blood_n which_o christ_n now_o have_v in_o heaven_n where_o to_o be_v sure_a he_o have_v no_o blood_n which_o be_v out_o of_o his_o body_n and_o therefore_o that_o blood_n which_o be_v out_o of_o his_o body_n can_v be_v his_o natural_a blood_n which_o he_o now_o have_v in_o heaven_n when_o our_o author_n have_v digest_v these_o absurdity_n and_o contradiction_n i_o can_v easy_o furnish_v he_o with_o more_o and_o can_v there_o be_v a_o great_a contempt_n of_o the_o ever_o bless_a trinity_n than_o to_o compare_v so_o sacred_a and_o venerable_a a_o mystery_n to_o the_o most_o absurd_a doctrine_n which_o be_v
