draught_n but_o this_o meat_n text_n y_o it_o i_o here_o receive_v be_v spiritual_a meat_n receive_v with_o faith_n &_o nourish_v we_o everlastyng_o both_o body_n &_o soul_n &_o never_o enter_v into_o the_o draught_n and_o even_o as_o before_o the_o outward_a eye_n do_v see_v the_o bread_n &_o yet_o the_o outward_a eye_n do_v not_o regard_v that_o or_o think_v upon_o it_o so_o likewise_o the_o outward_a man_n dige_v the_o bread_n &_o cast_v it_o into_o the_o draught_n and_o yet_o the_o inward_a man_n do_v not_o regard_n that_o nor_o think_v upon_o it_o but_o think_v on_o the_o thing_n itself_o that_o be_v signify_v by_o that_o bread_n and_o therefore_o say_v chrisostome_n even_o a_o little_a before_o the_o word_n which_o word_n they_o here_o allege_v lift_v up_o your_o mind_n &_o heart_n say_v he_o whereby_o he_o monish_v we_o to_o look_v upon_o and_o consider_v those_o heavenly_a thing_n which_o be_v represent_v and_o signify_v by_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n &_o not_o to_o mark_v the_o bread_n and_o wine_n in_o itself_o here_o they_o will_v say_v unto_o i_o that_o it_o be_v not_o chrisostomes_n mind_n for_o by_o his_o example_n he_o plain_o shewith_o that_o there_o remane_v no_o bread_n nor_o wine_n that_o i_o deny_v for_o the_o example_n in_o this_o place_n prove_v no_o more_o but_o y_z t_z you_o shall_v not_o think_v on_o y_z t_z bread_n &_o wine_n no_o more_o than_o if_o they_o be_v not_o there_o but_o only_o on_o that_o thing_n which_o be_v signify_v by_o they_o and_o that_o you_o may_v evident_o perceive_v by_o the_o word_n follow_v where_o he_o say_v think_v that_o the_o mystery_n be_v consume_v by_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o body_n now_o whether_o chrisostome_n think_v that_o there_o remain_v bread_n or_o solution_n no_o both_o way_n shall_v our_o purpose_n be_v prove_v first_o if_o he_o think_v there_o remain_v still_o bread_n and_o wine_n than_o we_o have_v our_o purpose_n now_o if_o he_o think_v that_o the_o bread_n &_o wine_n remain_v not_o but_o be_v change_v then_o be_v the_o bread_n and_o wine_n neither_o mystery_n nor_o sacrament_n of_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n for_o that_o that_o be_v not_o can_v neither_o be_v mystery_n nor_o sacrament_n final_o if_o he_o speak_v of_o y_fw-fr e_o outward_a appearance_n of_o bread_n then_o we_o know_v conclusion_n that_o that_o remain_v still_o &_o be_v not_o consume_v by_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o body_n and_o therefore_o he_o must_v needs_o be_v understand_v as_o i_o take_v he_o i_o think_v many_o man_n wonder_v how_o i_o can_v dye_v in_o this_o article_n sing_v that_o it_o be_v no_o necessary_a article_n of_o our_o faith_n for_o i_o grant_v that_o neither_o part_n be_v a_o article_n necessary_a to_o be_v beléeve_v under_o pain_n of_o damnation_n but_o leave_v it_o as_o a_o thing_n indifferent_a to_o think_v therein_o as_o god_n shall_v instill_v in_o every_o man_n mind_n and_o that_o neither_o part_n condemn_v other_o for_o this_o matter_n but_o receive_v each_o other_o in_o brotherly_a love_n reserve_v each_o other_o infirmity_n to_o god_n the_o cause_n of_o my_o death_n be_v this_o because_o i_o can_v not_o in_o conscience_n abjure_v death_n and_o swear_v that_o our_o prelate_n opinion_n of_o the_o sacrament_n that_o be_v that_o the_o substance_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n be_v very_o change_v into_o the_o flesh_n and_o blood_n of_o our_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n be_v a_o undoubted_a article_n of_o the_o faith_n necessary_a to_o be_v beléeve_v under_o pain_n of_o damnation_n now_o though_o this_o opinion_n be_v indeed_o true_a which_o thing_n they_o can_v neither_o prove_v true_a by_o scripture_n nor_o doctor_n yet_o can_v i_o not_o in_o conscience_n note_n grant_v that_o it_o shall_v be_v a_o article_n of_o the_o faith_n necessary_a to_o be_v beléeve_v etc._n etc._n for_o there_o be_v many_o verity_n which_o yet_o may_v be_v no_o such_o article_n of_o our_o faith_n it_o be_v true_a that_o i_o lay_v in_o iron_n when_o i_o write_v this_o howbeit_o i_o will_v not_o have_v you_o to_o receive_v this_o truth_n for_o a_o article_n of_o our_o faith_n for_o you_o may_v think_v the_o contrary_a without_o all_o jeopardy_n of_o damnation_n ¶_o the_o cause_n why_o i_o can_v not_o believe_v their_o opinion_n of_o transmutation_n be_v this_o 1_o first_o because_o i_o think_v very_o cause_n that_o it_o be_v false_a and_o can_v neither_o he_o prove_v by_o scripture_n nor_o faithful_a doctor_n if_o they_o be_v well_o ponder_v 2_o the_o second_o cause_n be_v this_o because_o i_o will_v not_o bind_v the_o congregation_n of_o christ_n by_o my_o example_n to_o admit_v any_o necessary_a article_n beside_o our_o creed_n and_o special_o none_o such_o as_o can_v not_o be_v prove_v true_a by_o scripture_n and_o i_o say_v that_o the_o church_n as_o they_o caule_v it_o can_v not_o compel_v we_o to_o receive_v any_o such_o article_n to_o be_v of_o necessity_n under_o pain_n of_o damnation_n 3_o the_o third_o cause_n be_v because_o i_o dare_v not_o be_v so_o presumptuous_a in_o enter_v into_o god_n judgement_n as_o to_o make_v the_o prelate_n in_o this_o point_n a_o necessary_a article_n of_o our_o faith_n for_o than_o i_o shall_v damnable_o condemn_v all_o the_o german_n &_o almain_n with_o infinite_a more_o which_o in_o deed_n do_v not_o believe_v nor_o think_v that_o the_o substance_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n be_v change_v into_o the_o substance_n of_o christ_n natural_a body_n and_o sure_o i_o can_v not_o be_v so_o foolish_a hardy_a as_o to_o condemn_v such_o a_o infinite_a number_n for_o our_o prelate_n pleasure_n thus_o all_o the_o germayne_v and_o almain_n both_o of_o luther_n side_n and_o also_o of_o oecolampadius_n do_v whole_o approve_v my_o matter_n and_o sure_o i_o think_v there_o be_v no_o man_n that_o have_v a_o pure_a conscience_n but_o he_o will_v think_v that_o i_o die_v righteous_o for_o that_o this_o transubstantiation_n shall_v be_v a_o necessary_a article_n of_o the_o faith_n i_o think_v no_o man_n can_v say_v it_o with_o a_o good_a conscience_n although_o it_o be_v true_a in_o deed_n by_o i_o john_n frith_n a_o exact_a and_o diligent_a table_n
