ordain_v by_o christ_n as_o a_o mean_a for_o the_o convey_n of_o his_o body_n and_o blood_n be_v as_o sure_a to_o have_v its_o effect_n if_o it_o be_v receive_v as_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v he_o who_o so_o receive_v what_o christ_n have_v thus_o ordain_v will_v need_v no_o other_o proof_n than_o that_o of_o his_o receive_v that_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n which_o it_o be_v so_o ordain_v to_o convey_v part_n vii_o of_o transubstantiation_n the_o content_n the_o doctrine_n of_o transubstantiation_n brief_o deduce_v from_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n and_o digest_v into_o four_o capital_a assertion_n whereof_o the_o first_o be_v that_o the_o whole_a substance_n of_o the_o bread_n be_v change_v into_o the_o substance_n of_o christ_n body_n and_o the_o whole_a substance_n of_o the_o wine_n into_o the_o substance_n of_o his_o blood_n the_o ground_n of_o this_o assertion_n examine_v both_o as_o to_o the_o possibility_n and_o actual_a be_v of_o such_o a_o change_n what_o be_v allege_v for_o the_o former_a of_o these_o from_o the_o substantial_a change_n mention_v in_o the_o scripture_n of_o no_o force_n in_o this_o particular_a because_o there_o be_v no_o appearance_n of_o the_o actual_a exist_v of_o those_o thing_n into_o which_o the_o change_n be_v make_v at_o the_o instant_a the_o other_o be_v change_v into_o they_o as_o little_a force_n show_v to_o be_v in_o the_o word_n this_o be_v my_o body_n and_o this_o be_v my_o blood_n to_o prove_v the_o actual_a change_n of_o the_o sacramental_a element_n whether_o we_o consider_v the_o word_n this_o in_o the_o former_a word_n as_o denote_v the_o bread_n and_o wine_n or_o the_o thing_n i_o now_o give_v you_o that_o suppose_a change_n far_o impugn_a by_o such_o scripture_n as_o represent_v the_o bread_n of_o the_o eucharist_n as_o remain_v after_o consecration_n by_o the_o concurrent_a testimony_n of_o sense_n and_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o ancient_a father_n enquiry_n next_o make_v into_o that_o assertion_n which_o import_v that_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o sacramental_a element_n be_v so_o change_v as_o to_o retain_v nothing_o of_o what_o they_o be_v before_o save_v only_o the_o species_n thereof_o where_o be_v show_v that_o if_o nothing_o of_o their_o respective_a substance_n remain_v there_o must_v be_v a_o annihilation_n rather_o than_o a_o change_n and_o that_o there_o be_v as_o little_a ground_n for_o the_o remain_v of_o the_o species_n without_o they_o either_o from_o the_o nature_n of_o those_o species_n the_o word_n of_o consecration_n or_o the_o testimony_n of_o sense_n that_o the_o true_a body_n and_o true_a blood_n of_o christ_n together_o with_o his_o soul_n and_o divinity_n be_v under_o the_o species_n of_o the_o sacramental_a element_n a_o three_o capital_a assertion_n in_o this_o matter_n but_o have_v as_o little_a ground_n in_o the_o word_n of_o consecration_n as_o either_o of_o the_o former_a first_o because_o those_o word_n relate_v not_o to_o christ_n glorify_a body_n and_o blood_n which_o be_v the_o thing_n affirm_v to_o be_v contain_v under_o the_o species_n of_o the_o sacramental_a element_n but_o to_o christ_n body_n as_o break_v and_o to_o his_o blood_n as_o shed_v at_o his_o crucifixion_n second_o because_o however_o they_o may_v import_v the_o be_v of_o that_o body_n and_o blood_n
