choose_v this_o sense_n which_o be_v more_o hard_a be_v move_v thereto_o as_o it_o seem_v chief_o because_o that_o of_o the_o sacrament_n man_n ought_v to_o hold_v as_o the_o holy_a church_n of_o rome_n hold_v but_o it_o hold_v that_o bread_n be_v transubstantiate_a or_o turn_v into_o the_o body_n and_o wine_n into_o the_o blood_n as_o it_o be_v show_v de_fw-fr summa_fw-la trinitate_fw-la &_o

to_o be_v note_v that_o although_o it_o be_v teach_v in_o the_o scripture_n that_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n be_v true_o contain_v and_o receive_v of_o christian_a people_n under_o the_o kind_n of_o

bread_n both_o the_o substance_n and_o accidence_n of_o bread_n remain_v there_o still_o it_o be_v not_o find_v express_v in_o the_o bible_n yet_o forasmuch_o as_o of_o the_o sacrament_n man_n must_v hold_v as_o the_o holy_a church_n of_o rome_n hold_v as_o it_o be_v write_v de_fw-fr haereticis_fw-la ad_fw-la abolendum_fw-la and_o that_o church_n hold_v and_o have_v determine_v that_o the_o

hear_v the_o cause_n wherefore_o this_o opinion_n of_o transubstantiation_n at_o this_o present_a be_v hold_v and_o defend_v among_o christian_a people_n that_o be_v to_o say_v because_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n have_v so_o determine_v although_o the_o contrary_a by_o the_o papist_n own_o confession_n appear_v to_o be_v more_o easy_a more_o true_a and_o more_o according_a to_o the_o scripture_n but_o because_o our_o english_a papist_n who_o speak_v more_o gross_o herein_o then_o the_o pope_n himself_o affirm_v that_o the_o natural_a body_n of_o christ_n be_v natural_o in_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n can_v not_o nor_o dare_v not_o ground_v their_o faith_n concern_v transubstantiation_n upon_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n which_o although_o in_o name_n it_o be_v call_v most_o holy_a yet_o in_o deed_n it_o be_v the_o most_o stink_a dongehill_n of_o all_o wickedness_n that_o be_v under_o heaven_n and_o the_o very_a sinagoge_n of_o the_o devil_n which_o whosoever_o follow_v can_v not_o but_o stumble_v and_o fall_v into_o a_o pit_n full_a of_o error_n because_o i_o say_v the_o english_a papist_n dare_v not_o now_o establish_v their_o faith_n upon_o that_o foundation_n of_o rome_n therefore_o they_o seek_v fig_n leave_v that_o be_v to_o say_v vain_a reason_n gather_v of_o their_o own_o brain_n and_o authority_n wrest_v from_o the_o intent_n and_o mind_n of_o the_o

shameful_a error_n may_v plain_o to_o every_o man_n appear_v answer_n the_o great_a reason_n and_o of_o most_o importance_n and_o of_o such_o strength_n as_o they_o think_v or_o at_o the_o least_o as_o they_o pretend_v that_o all_o the_o world_n can_v not_o answer_v thereto_o be_v this_o our_o saviour_n christ_n take_v the_o bread_n break_v it_o and_o give_v it_o to_o his_o disciple_n say_v this_o be_v my_o body_n now_o say_v they_o as_o soon_o as_o christ_n have_v speak_v these_o word_n the_o bread_n be_v straight_o way_n alter_v and_o change_v and_o the_o substance_n thereof_o be_v convert_v into_o the_o substance_n of_o his_o precious_a body_n but_o what_o christen_v ear_n can_v patient_o hear_v this_o doctrine_n that_o christ_n be_v every_o day_n make_v a_o new_a and_o make_v of_o a_o other_o substance_n than_o he_o be_v make_v of_o in_o his_o mother_n womb_n for_o where_o as_o at_o his_o incarnation_n he_o be_v make_v of_o the_o nature_n and_o substance_n of_o his_o bless_a mother_n now_o by_o these_o papist_n opinion_n he_o be_v make_v every_o day_n of_o the_o nature_n and_o substance_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n which_o as_o they_o say_v be_v turn_v into_o the_o substance_n of_o his_o body_n and_o blood_n o_o what_o a_o marvellous_a metamorphosis_n and_o abominable_a heresy_n be_v this_o to_o say_v that_o christ_n be_v daily_o make_v a_o new_a and_o of_o a_o new_a matter_n whereof_o it_o follow_v necessare_o that_o they_o make_v we_o every_o day_n a_o new_a christ_n and_o not_o the_o same_o that_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o virgin_n mary_n nor_o that_o be_v crucify_v upon_o the_o cross_n and_o that_o it_o be_v not_o the_o same_o christ_n that_o be_v eat_v in_o the_o supper_n which_o be_v bear_v and_o crucify_v as_o it_o shall_v be_v plain_o prove_v by_o these_o argument_n follow_v first_o thus_o if_o christ_n body_n that_o be_v crucify_v be_v not_o make_v of_o bread_n but_o the_o body_n that_o be_v eat_v in_o the_o supper_n be_v make_v of_o bread_n as_o the_o papist_n say_v than_o christ_n body_n that_o be_v eat_v in_o the_o supper_n be_v not_o the_o same_o that_o be_v crucify_v for_o if_o they_o be_v all_o one_o body_n than_o it_o must_v needs_o follow_v that_o either_o christ_n body_n that_o be_v eat_v be_v not_o make_v of_o bread_n or_o else_o that_o his_o body_n that_o be_v crucify_v be_v make_v of_o bread_n and_o in_o like_a manner_n it_o follow_v if_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o sacrament_n be_v make_v of_o the_o substance_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n and_o the_o same_o body_n be_v conceive_v in_o the_o virgin_n womb_n than_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o virgin_n womb_n be_v make_v of_o bread_n and_o wine_n or_o else_o turn_v the_o argument_n thus_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o virgin_n womb_n be_v not_o make_v of_o bread_n and_o wine_n but_o this_o body_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o sacrament_n be_v make_v of_o bread_n and_o wine_n than_o this_o body_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o the_o same_o that_o be_v conceive_v in_o the_o virgin_n womb_n an_o other_o argument_n christ_n that_o be_v bear_v in_o the_o virgin_n womb_n as_o concern_v his_o body_n be_v make_v of_o none_o other_o substance_n but_o of_o the_o substance_n of_o his_o bless_a mother_n but_o christ_n in_o the_o sacrament_n be_v make_v of_o a_o other_o substance_n and_o so_o it_o follow_v that_o he_o be_v a_o other_o christ._n and_o so_o the_o antichrist_n of_o rome_n the_o chief_a author_n of_o all_o idolatry_n will_v bring_v faithful_a christian_a people_n from_o the_o true_a worship_v of_o christ_n that_o be_v make_v and_o bear_v of_o the_o bless_a virgin_n mary_n through_o the_o operation_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o suffer_v for_o we_o upon_o the_o cross_n to_o worship_v a_o other_o christ_n make_v of_o bread_n and_o wine_n through_o the_o consecration_n of_o popish_a priest_n which_o make_v themselves_o the_o maker_n of_o god_n for_o say_v they_o the_o priest_n by_o the_o word_n of_o consecration_n make_v that_o thing_n which_o be_v eat_v and_o drunken_a in_o the_o lord_n supper_n and_o that_o say_v they_o be_v christ_n himself_o both_o god_n and_o man_n and_o so_o they_o take_v upon_o they_o to_o make_v both_o god_n and_o man_n but_o let_v all_o true_a worshipper_n worship_v one_o god_n one_o christ_n once_o corporal_o make_v of_o one_o only_a corporal_a substance_n that_o be_v to_o say_v of_o the_o bless_a virgin_n mary_n that_o once_o die_v and_o rise_v once_o
