out_o of_o paradise_n and_o by_o a_o virgin_n we_o have_v find_v eternal_a life_n 12._o that_o he_o do_v not_o believe_v we_o ought_v to_o have_v recourse_n to_o the_o intercession_n of_o saint_n can_v be_v invincible_o demonstrate_v from_o hence_o because_o he_o do_v not_o believe_v that_o the_o faithful_a shall_v see_v the_o face_n of_o god_n before_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n lib._n 5._o c._n 3._o 13._o he_o plain_o assert_n that_o the_o apostolical_a succession_n be_v of_o no_o consideration_n without_o the_o truth_n of_o doctrine_n lib._n 4._o c._n 43._o so_o far_o be_v he_o from_o make_v it_o a_o bar_n to_o hinder_v believer_n from_o examine_v the_o doctrine_n propound_v to_o they_o 14._o he_o maintain_v that_o the_o gate_n of_o heaven_n be_v open_v to_o jesus_n christ_n because_o of_o the_o assumption_n of_o his_o flesh_n so_o far_o be_v he_o from_o believe_v that_o his_o glorify_a body_n can_v penetrate_v body_n lib._n 3._o c._n 18._o &_o lib._n 4._o c._n 66._o he_o assert_n that_o jesus_n christ_n at_o his_o be_v bear_v open_v the_o bless_a virgin_n be_v womb_n lib._n 4._o c._n 66._o which_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n condemn_v for_o divers_a reason_n and_o for_o as_o much_o as_o he_o hold_v the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o be_v the_o food_n of_o life_n lib._n 4._o c._n 75._o according_o he_o maintain_v c._n 2._o lib._n 5._o that_o our_o body_n be_v nourish_v by_o the_o creature_n of_o god_n receive_v in_o the_o eucharist_n and_o that_o they_o receive_v growth_n by_o they_o he_o distinct_o assert_n that_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o eucharist_n as_o to_o its_o substance_n consist_v of_o bread_n and_o wine_n which_o be_v the_o creature_n of_o god_n which_o he_o receive_v as_o oblation_n of_o a_o different_a kind_n from_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n and_o indeed_o in_o case_n he_o have_v otherwise_o conceive_v the_o matter_n he_o will_v have_v favour_v the_o opinion_n of_o the_o gnostic_n who_o pretend_v that_o the_o work_n of_o the_o creation_n be_v not_o the_o work_n of_o the_o father_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n can_v never_o have_v light_v upon_o a_o more_o comfortable_a doctrine_n than_o that_o of_o transubstantiation_n by_o mean_n of_o which_o the_o nature_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n will_v be_v destroy_v by_o jesus_n christ_n in_o the_o sacrament_n and_o nothing_o leave_v but_o the_o accident_n that_o be_v to_o say_v mere_a fantome_n without_o any_o thing_n of_o reality_n l._n 4._o c._n 34_o &_o 57_o in_o like_a manner_n we_o find_v he_o assert_v lib._n 5._o c._n 33._o that_o what_o jesus_n christ_n give_v to_o his_o disciple_n in_o the_o cup_n be_v the_o generation_n or_o product_n of_o the_o vine_n 15._o we_o see_v clear_o from_o what_o eusebius_n have_v preserve_v of_o st._n irenaeus_n that_o the_o variety_n in_o observe_v a_o fast_a before_o easter_n be_v very_o great_a and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o law_n of_o the_o apostle_n or_o of_o jesus_n christ_n injoin_v it_o every_o one_o use_v it_o according_a to_o his_o own_o free_a will_n and_o devotion_n we_o find_v also_o that_o whatsoever_o respect_n st._n irenaeus_n have_v for_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n he_o be_v no_o more_o incline_v to_o be_v lead_v by_o her_o sole_a authority_n than_o st._n polycarp_n be_v who_o he_o much_o commend_v and_o if_o he_o consider_v she_o as_o a_o apostolic_a church_n yet_o he_o never_o attribute_v to_o her_o any_o authority_n over_o the_o other_o flock_n of_o the_o lord_n i_o will_v not_o dissemble_v that_o st._n irenaeus_n seem_v somewhat_o at_o a_o loss_n about_o the_o state_n of_o believer_n after_o death_n but_o to_o this_o it_o be_v sufficient_a to_o say_v 1._o that_o we_o find_v in_o st._n irenaeus_n a_o abridgement_n of_o the_o faith_n almost_o in_o the_o same_o form_n that_o we_o find_v it_o in_o the_o apostle_n creed_n as_o it_o be_v call_v 2._o that_o if_o we_o do_v not_o agree_v to_o all_o the_o opinion_n of_o st._n irenaeus_n about_o the_o state_n of_o soul_n after_o death_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o doctor_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n do_v at_o least_o reject_v as_o many_o article_n as_o we_o do_v yea_o and_o more_o too_o from_o what_o i_o have_v say_v we_o may_v however_o perceive_v what_o be_v the_o state_n of_o the_o christian_a religion_n in_o gaul_n a_o little_a after_o the_o middle_n of_o the_o second_o century_n which_o be_v the_o time_n wherein_o st._n irenaeus_n live_v and_o flourish_v i_o wish_v i_o can_v produce_v for_o the_o follow_a century_n as_o authentic_a a_o witness_n concern_v the_o state_n of_o
