nor_o be_o i_o insensible_a how_o wary_a and_o cautious_a divine_n be_v what_o they_o say_v and_o how_o they_o unfold_v their_o thought_n of_o this_o matter_n indeed_o it_o be_v that_o which_o require_v of_o we_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o consideration_n and_o pain_n aswell_o to_o conceive_v a_o right_a notion_n of_o it_o as_o to_o express_v it_o so_o as_o to_o make_v it_o intelligible_a to_o

we_o be_v to_o note_v that_o christ_n be_v not_o so_o present_a in_o the_o sacrament_n as_o to_o be_v eat_v after_o a_o carnal_a and_o gross_a manner_n neither_o be_v the_o element_n so_o change_v

natural_a body_n suppli_v the_o room_n of_o bread_n and_o that_o this_o blood_n be_v in_o the_o place_n of_o wine_n now_o i_o may_v pass_v over_o this_o with_o quick_a dispatch_n by_o refer_v you_o to_o a_o great_a many_o learned_a and_o unanswerable_a book_n which_o have_v be_v write_v against_o this_o monstrous_a error_n to_o say_v no_o worse_o of_o it_o but_o to_o save_v you_o the_o charge_n and_o pain_n of_o so_o much_o travel_n i_o desire_v you_o 1._o to_o consider_v in_o general_a that_o there_o be_v four_o thing_n which_o be_v infallible_o able_a to_o satisfy_v a_o man_n judgement_n as_o to_o the_o truth_n or_o falsity_n of_o any_o thing_n whatsoever_o viz._n the_o use_n of_o our_o sense_n the_o suffrage_n of_o right_a reason_n the_o authority_n of_o divine_a revelation_n and_o

two_o thing_n value_v most_o of_o all_o the_o spiritual_a grace_n but_o yet_o honour_v the_o element_n for_o the_o grace_n sake_n many_o time_n indeed_o they_o call_v the_o bread_n christ_n body_n because_o it_o signify_v and_o represent_v and_o exhibit_v it_o but_o usual_o they_o call_v the_o element_n the_o type_n the_o antitype_n the_o figure_n the_o image_n the_o sign_n of_o our_o lord_n

at_o those_o who_o be_v please_v to_o talk_v as_o if_o the_o father_n believe_v transubstantiation_n yet_o nevertheless_o they_o all_o with_o one_o mouth_n confess_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n to_o
