M. p. 8. 9. If there be no certainty of Senses in one thing there is none in any thing vnlesse I know certainly what that one thing is nothing can secure me vnlesse Christ in expresse words tell vs Beleiue your Senses in all things else but only in the Sacrament Revisor Whence so greate a concerne for the Authority of Senses so little for that of the Church All is vndone if the Senses be corrected by the expresse words of Christ whome they contradict no hurt done thô the Church be charged with errour even when she follows the words of Christ yet by the Church we receiue the word of God its meaning too Now why is an errour charged on Senses of so pernicious a nature as to destroy all their credit vnlesse Christ's expresse words are produced to vouch it in all other things one nay many errours charged on the Church by which we receiue Faith no hurt done Js not Faith handed to vs by the Church of as greate consequence as that little scantling of Knowledge which we receiue from our Senses But why is an errour of Senses so fatal to their credit Haue they never deceived you or at least some others of your acquaintance do you therefore renounce them Haue not some men their eyes only representing a greene medow fallen into a quack-mire do you for that reason either pull out your eyes as vselesse or shut them as deceivable when you walke Are these Arguments of such strength as to beate downe the expresse words of Christ Doctrine of the whole Church what times do we liue in to what passe is Christianity brought when a Doctor of Divinity a pretended Bishop fyghts with such straws against Christ's words Faith I Yet because old age is apprehensiue J will giue you a remedy against this groundlesse Feare You require an exception in expresse words J will giue you one at least Aequivalentèr It is a general Rule Exceptio in non exceptis firmat regulam When an exception is made from a Rule all things not exprest in the exception remaine vnder the Rule Wherefore Christ having excepted only the Blessed Sacrament from the Deposition of Senses he left all other things subject to them So sir althô you hold with vs Transubstantiation when you see a floore you may walke on it without fearing a precipice when you see a Chaire you may confidently sit downe without Fearing it should proue a Cobweb Wherefore Cheere vp deare sir you may be secure thô Christ be beleived SECTION XI OF MIRACLES 1.
