upon_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o prophet_n and_o the_o apostle_n and_o to_o conclude_v in_o this_o matter_n we_o do_v receive_v and_o take_v the_o holy_a scripture_n for_o a_o entire_a and_o a_o

that_o we_o be_v not_o enemy_n to_o council_n neither_o to_o the_o holy_a father_n by_o the_o which_o it_o have_v please_v god_n to_o teach_v and_o instruct_v his_o church_n there_o be_v yet_o two_o

be_v treat_v of_o at_o good_a length_n because_o of_o the_o difficulty_n that_o be_v this_o day_n thereof_o in_o the_o state_n of_o christendom_n but_o because_o i_o have_v not_o at_o this_o time_n take_v upon_o i_o to_o dispute_v but_o rather_o to_o set_v forth_o short_o the_o principal_a point_n of_o our_o conference_n i_o will_v content_a myself_o to_o declare_v summarelie_o what_o we_o do_v think_v and_o hold_v therein_o we_o be_v as_o i_o take_v it_o concern_v this_o word_n sacrament_n of_o one_o accord_n to_o wit_n that_o sacrament_n be_v sign_n visible_a by_o mean_n whereof_o the_o conjunction_n and_o unity_n which_o we_o have_v with_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v not_o to_o we_o simple_o signify_v or_o figure_v but_o be_v to_o we_o very_o and_o true_o offer_v on_o the_o behalf_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o consequent_o ratify_v seal_v and_o as_o it_o be_v grave_v by_o the_o virtue_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o such_o as_o by_o true_a faith_n do_v apprehend_v and_o take_v hold_v of_o that_o which_o be_v to_o they_o so_o signify_v and_o present_v i_o use_v this_o word_n signify_v my_o lord_n not_o meaning_n thereby_o to_o weak_a or_o to_o diminish_v the_o dignity_n of_o the_o sacrament_n but_o to_o note_v a_o difference_n between_o the_o sign_n and_o the_o thing_n that_o signify_v it_o in_o all_o virtue_n and_o efficacy_n we_o do_v also_o agree_v that_o to_o the_o sacrament_n there_o be_v necessary_o require_v a_o celestial_a and_o supernatural_a mutation_n for_o we_o do_v not_o say_v that_o the_o water_n of_o the_o holy_a baptism_n be_v simple_o water_n but_o that_o it_o be_v a_o true_a sacrament_n of_o our_o regeneration_n and_o of_o the_o wash_n of_o our_o soul_n by_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n in_o like_a sort_n we_o do_v not_o say_v that_o in_o the_o holy_a supper_n of_o the_o lord_n the_o brrad_a be_v simple_o bread_n but_o that_o it_o be_v the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o precious_a body_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n which_o be_v deliver_v for_o us._n neither_o that_o wine_n be_v only_o and_o simple_o wine_n but_o that_o it_o be_v the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o precious_a blood_n which_o be_v shed_v for_o us._n but_o here_o with_o we_o do_v not_o say_v that_o this_o mutation_n be_v make_v in_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o sign_n but_o in_o the_o use_n and_o end_n for_o the_o which_o they_o be_v ordain_v neither_o do_v we_o say_v that_o they_o be_v make_v by_o virtue_n of_o certain_a word_n pronounce_v neither_o by_o the_o intent_n of_o he_o that_o pronounce_v the_o same_o but_o by_o the_o only_a power_n and_o will_n of_o he_o that_o ordain_v this_o heavenly_a and_o godly_a action_n who_o ordinance_n in_o this_o behalf_n aught_o to_o be_v rehearse_v with_o a_o loud_a voice_n and_o in_o such_o language_n as_o the_o assistaunte_n do_v understand_v to_o who_o it_o ought_v also_o to_o be_v plain_o expound_v to_o the_o intent_n they_o may_v understande_v it_o and_o receive_v it_o according_o and_o thus_o much_o concern_v the_o outward_a sign_n let_v we_o now_o come_v to_o that_o that_o be_v testify_v and_o exhibit_v of_o the_o lord_n by_o these_o sign_n we_o do_v not_o say_v as_o some_o for_o lack_v of_o good_a understanding_n of_o we_o do_v judge_n that_o we_o do_v teach_v that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o in_o the_o holy_a supper_n of_o the_o lord_n there_o be_v nothing_o but_o a_o simple_a and_o naked_a remembrance_n of_o the_o death_n of_o jesus_n christ_n neither_o do_v we_o say_v that_o by_o the_o say_v holy_a supper_n we_o be_v make_v partaker_n only_o of_o the_o fruit_n of_o his_o death_n and_o passion_n but_o we_o do_v join_v the_o ground_n with_o the_o fruit_n that_o come_v of_o it_o say_v with_o saint_n paul_n in_o his_o first_o epistle_n to_o the_o corinthian_n the_o ten_o chapter_n that_o the_o bread_n which_o we_o break_v in_o such_o sort_n as_o he_o have_v ordain_v be_v the_o communication_n of_o the_o very_a body_n of_o jesus_n christ_n that_o be_v deliver_v for_o us._n and_o the_o cup_n whereof_o we_o drink_v be_v the_o communication_n of_o the_o very_a blood_n that_o be_v shed_v for_o we_o yea_o in_o the_o same_o substance_n that_o he_o take_v in_o the_o womb_n of_o the_o virgin_n marie_n and_o that_o he_o carry_v from_o we_o into_o heaven_n and_o i_o pray_v you_o my_o lord_n in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n what_o can_v you_o seek_v or_o find_v in_o this_o holy_a sacrament_n but_o we_o do_v seek_v and_o sinde_v the_o same_o also_o i_o do_v understand_v what_o you_o will_v say_v straight_o some_o of_o you_o will_v require_v we_o to_o confess_v that_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n be_v transfourm_v i_o say_v not_o into_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n for_o that_o have_v we_o confess_v all_o ready_a but_o into_o the_o very_a natural_a body_n &_o the_o proper_a and_o natural_a blood_n of_o christ_n other_o peradventure_o will_v not_o press_v we_o so_o narow_o but_o will_v require_v we_o to_o agree_v that_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n be_v reallye_o and_o corporal_o other_o within_o or_o with_o or_o under_o the_o bread_n in_o which_o point_n my_o lord_n i_o beseech_v you_o for_o the_o honour_n of_o god_n to_o geve_v ear_n to_o we_o patient_o without_o take_v any_o offence_n of_o our_o say_n and_o for_o a_o time_n to_o put_v away_o all_o the_o ill_a opinion_n that_o you_o have_v conceive_v of_o us._n when_o either_o the_o one_o or_o the_o other_o of_o these_o two_o opinion_n shall_v be_v by_o the_o holy_a scripture_n prove_v to_o we_o we_o yield_v ourselves_o ready_a to_o embrace_v it_o and_o to_o stand_v to_o it_o to_o the_o death_n but_o for_o the_o small_a measure_n of_o knowledge_n that_o it_o have_v please_v god_n to_o impart_v unto_o we_o it_o seem_v that_o this_o transubstantiation_n agree_v not_o in_o any_o similitud_n and_o conveniency_n of_o our_o faith_n farasmuche_o as_o it_o be_v direct_o contrary_a to_o the_o true_a nature_n of_o the_o sacrament_n in_o the_o which_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o the_o substantial_a sign_n contymie_n be_v true_a sign_n of_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o
