that_o same_o bread_n his_o body_n &_o that_o same_o cup_n his_o blood_n where_o that_o same_o bread_n be_v call_v the_o communion_n of_o his_o body_n &_o that_o same_o cup_n the_o communion_n of_o his_o blood_n do_v altogether_o show_v that_o both_o these_o say_n be_v figurative_a or_o at_o least_o wise_a one_o of_o they_o too_o wit_n either_o that_o of_o paul_n or_o that_o of_o christ_n question_n to_o wit_n that_o of_o paul_n be_v to_o be_v expound_v out_o of_o the_o proper_a say_n of_o christ_n answer_n therefore_o at_o the_o length_n thou_o be_v bring_v too_o confess_v that_o whosoever_o do_v maintain_v and_o defend_v figure_n in_o the_o controversy_n of_o the_o sacrament_n do_v not_o overthrow_v the_o testament_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god._n but_o to_o the_o matter_n it_o be_v easy_a too_o show_v out_o of_o our_o seven_o argument_n and_o out_o of_o that_o that_o go_v next_o before_o that_o both_o these_o be_v figurative_a whether_o thou_o do_v interpret_v that_o out_o of_o this_o or_o this_o out_o of_o that_o as_o for_o example_n both_o these_o proposition_n this_o cup_n for_o this_o wine_n be_v my_o blood_n and_o this_o wine_n be_v the_o communion_n of_o my_o blood_n now_o the_o like_a be_v too_o be_v think_v of_o bread_n it_o be_v diverse_a from_o this_o this_o wine_n be_v the_o liquour_n of_o the_o vine_n which_o notwithstanding_o thou_o must_v needs_o say_v be_v most_o proper_a and_o therefore_o so_o stout_o to_o be_v mainten_v because_o as_o we_o have_v say_v overthrow_v or_o take_v away_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o sign_n the_o foundation_n of_o the_o analogy_n or_o proportion_n shall_v also_o be_v take_v away_o and_o overthrow_v question_n i_o will_v answer_n that_o both_o christ_n and_o paul_n pass_v this_o over_o as_o a_o thing_n sufficient_o know_v for_o to_o what_o purpose_n shall_v he_o have_v teach_v his_o disciple_n that_o that_o bread_n which_o he_o hold_v in_o his_o hand_n be_v bread_n and_o that_o wine_n but_o undoubted_o it_o behoove_v he_o to_o teach_v they_o that_o which_o otherwise_o they_o will_v never_o have_v believe_v too_o wit_n that_o those_o thing_n also_o which_o he_o hold_v in_o his_o hand_n and_o give_v they_o in_o under_o or_o with_o bread_n and_o wine_n be_v his_o body_n and_o his_o blood_n answer_n therefore_o thou_o must_v needs_o determine_v that_o the_o figure_n synecdoche_n be_v in_o these_o word_n this_o bread_n and_o this_o cup_n and_o therefore_o while_o thou_o study_v to_o avoid_v figure_n thou_o fall_v into_o a_o figure_n but_o we_o will_v way_n this_o synecdoche_n in_o his_o place_n to_o wit_n when_o we_o shall_v come_v too_o the_o confutation_n but_o thou_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n shall_v not_o so_o escape_v for_o with_o what_o manner_n and_o with_o how_o great_a conjunction_n soever_o thou_o shall_v couple_v those_o two_o unlike_a thing_n in_o themselves_o indeed_o together_o such_o as_o be_v the_o bread_n and_o the_o body_n wine_n and_o the_o blood_n yet_o notwithstanding_o thou_o shall_v never_o bring_v to_o pass_v that_o the_o one_o may_v proper_o be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o other_o no_o neither_o in_o the_o conjunction_n can_v one_o be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o other_o but_o either_o of_o they_o must_v be_v make_v a_o certain_a third_o thing_n therefore_o this_o at_o the_o least_o must_v be_v a_o proper_a proposition_n in_o or_o under_o or_o with_o this_o bread_n and_o wine_n be_v my_o body_n &_o blood_n it_o remain_v therefore_o that_o thou_o confess_v that_o both_o this_o say_n of_o christ_n and_o that_o of_o paul_n whether_o thou_o interpret_v this_o out_o of_o that_o or_o that_o out_o of_o this_o be_v figurative_a 230._o question_n how_o therefore_o do_v thou_o think_v this_o place_n of_o paul_n shall_v be_v expound_v answer_n first_o of_o all_o they_o be_v to_o be_v confute_v who_o take_v the_o greek_a word_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d which_o signify_v common_a for_o distribution_n which_o the_o matter_n itself_o cry_v out_o too_o be_v most_o absurd_a forasmuch_o as_o bread_n and_o wine_n be_v substance_n but_o distribution_n be_v a_o action_n and_o paul_n himself_o expound_v that_o use_v a_o word_n that_o signify_v to_o participate_v and_o the_o scope_n itself_o of_o the_o apostle_n require_v that_o it_o declare_v a_o communion_n and_o not_o a_o distribution_n moreover_o it_o be_v wonder_v that_o they_o who_o allow_v no_o trope_n in_o the_o matter_n of_o the_o sacrament_n that_o they_o can_v in_o this_o place_n interpret_v the_o communicate_v of_o the_o body_n for_o the_o body_n communicate_v or_o distribute_v that_o be_v can_v confound_v the_o action_n with_o the_o effect_n for_o neither_o in_o good_a sooth_n do_v they_o this_o well_o because_o they_o refer_v this_o distribution_n to_o the_o word_n of_o break_v as_o though_o paul_n have_v write_v the_o bread_n which_o we_o distribute_v be_v the_o body_n communicate_v for_o the_o word_n of_o break_v aught_o to_o be_v take_v proper_o in_o this_o action_n as_o we_o have_v show_v before_o and_o it_o appear_v by_o the_o word_n he_o give_v which_o be_v add_v to_o the_o word_n he_o break_v in_o the_o narration_n of_o the_o evangelist_n question_n what_o therefore_o think_v thou_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d to_o be_v call_v answer_n commmunion_n and_o fellowship_n which_o be_v the_o true_a signification_n of_o his_o word_n &_o it_o differ_v somewhat_o from_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d as_o chrysost_n note_v although_o paul_n use_v the_o verb_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d and_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d indifferent_o one_o for_o the_o other_o such_o as_o the_o communion_n be_v therefore_o that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o natural_a society_n of_o all_o man_n in_o the_o common_a nature_n of_o flesh_n &_o blood_n as_o between_o themselves_o &_o with_o christ_n himself_o such_o be_v the_o communion_n by_o the_o goodness_n of_o god_n betwixt_o all_o the_o faithful_a &_o christ_n into_o who_o they_o be_v engraft_v and_o incorporate_v question_n but_o by_o what_o manner_n of_o speech_n may_v that_o bread_n be_v say_v to_o be_v that_o same_o fellowship_n and_o communion_n answer_n with_o the_o logician_n it_o be_v call_v a_o causal_n affirmation_n whereby_o the_o proper_a effect_n be_v attribute_v to_o the_o proper_a cause_n whether_o it_o be_v material_a or_o efficient_a which_o manner_n or_o fashion_n be_v to_o be_v refer_v to_o the_o four_o manner_n of_o affirm_v by_o itself_o as_o they_o speak_v in_o the_o school_n now_o a_o figurative_a speech_n be_v when_o the_o effect_n be_v put_v for_o the_o cause_n or_o else_o forsooth_o for_o the_o very_a efficient_a cause_n as_o for_o example_n when_o christ_n be_v call_v the_o resurrection_n &_o the_o life_n for_o the_o raiser_n and_o giver_n of_o life_n or_o the_o cause_n of_o resurrection_n &_o life_n or_o for_o the_o material_a cause_n as_o when_o paul_n say_v you_o be_v my_o glory_n or_o rejoice_a the_o be_v to_o say_v the_o matter_n of_o my_o glory_n or_o rejoice_a or_o for_o the_o instrumental_a which_o also_o be_v itself_o efficient_a 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d that_o be_v to_o say_v be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o under_o seruer_n as_o when_o the_o gospel_n be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o power_n of_o god_n to_o salvation_n that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o instrument_n that_o god_n use_v effectual_o too_o save_o us._n so_o also_o in_o this_o place_n that_o same_o bread_n and_o that_o same_o wine_n be_v say_v to_o be_v that_o communion_n that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o instrument_n whereby_o that_o same_o

cause_n which_o be_v the_o holy_a ghost_n therefore_o as_o that_o same_o figurative_a proposition_n of_o christ_n this_o bread_n be_v my_o body_n be_v expound_v by_o this_o this_o bread_n be_v sacramental_a my_o body_n so_o also_o this_o say_n of_o paul_n this_o bread_n be_v the_o communication_n of_o my_o body_n be_v to_o be_v expound_v by_o this_o proper_a this_o bread_n be_v the_o sacramental_a instrument_n of_o our_o consociation_n and_o fellowship_n with_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n for_o there_o the_o figure_n be_v only_o in_o the_o copulative_a that_o knit_v the_o matter_n together_o to_o wit_n a_o sacramental_a metonymy_n or_o translation_n but_o here_o also_o in_o the_o attribute_n be_v a_o figure_n which_o they_o call_v metalepsis_n too_o wit_n put_v the_o effect_n for_o the_o cause_n 231._o question_n but_o can_v thou_o beside_o bring_v forth_o any_o other_o argument_n answer_n yea_o that_o can_v i._o and_o first_o of_o all_o that_o same_o from_o the_o essential_a and_o constitute_a form_n of_o all_o the_o sacrament_n which_o be_v in_o sum_n that_o they_o may_v consist_v of_o the_o
make_v the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n and_o bread_n the_o sacrament_n of_o his_o body_n and_o wine_n also_o of_o his_o blood_n 38._o question_n but_o thou_o a_o little_a before_o do_v call_v these_o part_n answer_n i_o do_v so_o and_o not_o without_o cause_n for_o these_o two_o which_o be_v cause_n by_o themselves_o be_v also_o essential_a part_n of_o the_o thing_n as_o the_o logician_n do_v very_o well_o teach_v 39_o question_n now_o what_o be_v the_o end_n of_o these_o sacrament_n answer_n some_o chief_a end_n to_o wit_n that_o christ_n as_o i_o have_v say_v with_o all_o his_o gift_n may_v more_o &_o more_o be_v seal_v in_o we_o othersome_a not_o so_o special_a as_o that_o by_o this_o badge_n also_o we_o shall_v be_v distinguish_v from_o other_o that_o make_v not_o profession_n of_o the_o christian_a faith_n &_o shall_v be_v knit_v together_o more_o and_o more_o among_o ourselves_o in_o mutual_a love_n 40._o question_n and_o be_v there_o no_o more_o answer_n yes_o this_o also_o be_v to_o be_v add_v that_o the_o sacrament_n be_v also_o remembraunce_n of_o thing_n past_a as_o in_o the_o ceremony_n of_o baptism_n the_o pour_v out_o of_o water_n do_v set_v before_o our_o eye_n as_o present_v the_o shed_v forth_o of_o christ_n blood_n the_o put_v into_o water_n &_o the_o come_n out_o his_o death_n burial_n &_o resurrection_n also_o the_o break_n of_o bread_n in_o the_o supper_n do_v after_o a_o sort_n represent_v unto_o we_o christ_n crucify_v for_o us._n 41._o question_n these_o thing_n be_v expound_v i_o will_v glad_o learn_v of_o thou_o what_o the_o knit_n together_o of_o the_o sign_n &_o the_o thing_n signify_v be_v for_o thou_o be_v not_o ignorant_a that_o this_o controversy_n be_v special_o handle_v nowadays_o whether_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v real_o present_a yea_o or_o no_o that_o be_v in_o the_o same_o place_n where_o that_o bread_n and_o that_o wine_n be_v or_o whether_o the_o sign_n remain_v as_o some_o think_v or_o be_v abolish_v the_o accident_n only_o remain_v as_o they_o teach_v which_o consent_n with_o the_o pope_n answer_n this_o controversy_n be_v grow_v so_o hot_a and_o come_v so_o far_o that_o for_o the_o decide_n thereof_o we_o need_v rather_o conscience_n than_o knowledge_n but_o the_o lord_n alone_o either_o by_o some_o wonderful_a judgement_n or_o some_o notable_a example_n of_o his_o mercy_n will_v decide_v it_o notwithstanding_o i_o will_v endeavour_n too_o make_v it_o plain_a when_o i_o shall_v come_v too_o speak_v of_o the_o lord_n supper_n now_o that_o i_o may_v answer_v to_o that_o which_o be_v demand_v i_o say_v that_o forasmuch_o as_o the_o thing_n signify_v both_o in_o the_o simple_a word_n and_o in_o the_o sacrament_n be_v partly_o thing_n not_o subsist_v or_o stand_v by_o themselves_o as_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n the_o gift_n of_o sanctification_n the_o increase_n of_o faith_n incorporation_n into_o christ_n and_o such_o like_a that_o the_o question_n of_o the_o real_a presence_n of_o the_o thing_n signify_v must_v necessary_o be_v restrain_v to_o some_o real_a be_v now_o as_o i_o suppose_v no_o other_o can_v be_v put_v but_o christ_n himself_o and_o when_o they_o with_o who_o we_o agree_v not_o concern_v this_o matter_n do_v not_o themselves_o as_o i_o suppose_v think_v that_o christ_n shall_v be_v divide_v as_o those_o that_o complain_v notwithstanding_o undeserued_o that_o the_o same_o be_v do_v of_o we_o because_o that_o we_o deny_v the_o real_a presence_n of_o christ_n body_n do_v thou_o think_v that_o the_o state_n of_o this_o question_n be_v so_o too_o be_v take_v whether_o christ_n god_n and_o man_n be_v present_a in_o those_o place_n themselves_o where_o the_o sacrament_n be_v minister_v question_n so_o i_o have_v read_v in_o some_o of_o their_o writing_n who_o notwithstanding_o affirm_v this_o not_o general_o of_o all_o sacrament_n but_o only_o of_o the_o lord_n supper_n answer_n i_o will_v not_o doubt_n too_o affirm_v the_o same_o both_o of_o the_o supper_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o of_o baptism_n and_o also_o after_o a_o certain_a manner_n of_o those_o sacrament_n which_o be_v before_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n into_o the_o earth_n neither_o will_v i_o think_v myself_o a_o christian_n if_o i_o shall_v deny_v this_o 42._o question_n i_o be_o glad_a that_o we_o agree_v amongst_o ourselves_o answer_n god_n grant_v that_o at_o length_n we_o may_v agree_v therefore_o hear_v i_o pray_v thou_o it_o can_v be_v deny_v but_o that_o christ_n according_a too_o his_o godhead_n be_v every_o where_o this_o likewise_o be_v without_o all_o controversy_n that_o forasmuch_o as_o man_n nature_n be_v so_o take_v of_o the_o word_n that_o god_n and_o man_n be_v one_o real_a be_v it_o must_v needs_o follow_v if_o thou_o consider_v christ_n as_o some_o one_o and_o singular_a thing_n that_o whole_a christ_n be_v also_o every_o where_o present_a and_o yet_o not_o as_o in_o the_o sacrament_n in_o which_o undoubted_o there_o must_v be_v appoint_v some_o peculiar_a and_o special_a manner_n of_o presence_n as_o i_o may_v so_o speak_v that_o they_o may_v be_v distinguish_v from_o other_o common_a thing_n in_o which_o also_o he_o be_v present_a the_o other_o thing_n that_o i_o will_v have_v well_o weigh_v of_o thou_o be_v this_o that_o which_o be_v speak_v of_o the_o whole_a be_v not_o yet_o speak_v of_o the_o singular_a part_n be_v among_o themselves_o of_o a_o diverse_a kind_n as_o for_o example_n all_o the_o whole_a that_o we_o call_v man_n we_o define_v to_o be_v partaker_n of_o reason_n which_o yet_o thou_o will_v not_o say_v of_o no_o essential_a part_n of_o man_n consider_v in_o itself_o and_o yet_o there_o be_v somewhat_o in_o this_o definition_n too_o wit_n reason_n which_o be_v attribute_v to_o that_o other_o part_n of_o man_n even_o to_o the_o soul_n do_v thou_o not_o see_v then_o that_o whole_a christ_n that_o be_v christ_n consider_v as_o a_o certain_a whole_a and_o absolute_a thing_n be_v another_o thing_n then_o all_o belong_v to_o christ_n that_o be_v christ_n who_o thou_o shall_v way_n particular_o by_o his_o part_n for_o in_o this_o case_n let_v it_o be_v lawful_a for_o i_o to_o atttribute_v also_o the_o name_n of_o a_o part_n to_o the_o godhead_n 43._o question_n i_o see_v it_o very_o well_o but_o be_v there_o any_o more_o answer_n yea_o i_o will_v have_v this_o far_a to_o be_v mark_v of_o thou_o that_o certain_a thing_n do_v so_o fit_o serve_v for_o the_o establish_n of_o some_o singular_a thing_n that_o that_o which_o by_o no_o mean_n can_v agree_v by_o itself_o to_o some_o one_o may_v yet_o be_v attribute_v untoo_o it_o as_o it_o cleave_v &_o be_v conjoin_v with_o another_o the_o which_o thing_n be_v so_o far_o forth_o true_a that_o it_o may_v also_o be_v say_v of_o those_o which_o yet_o but_o accidental_o only_o and_o for_o a_o time_n be_v join_v together_o as_o for_o example_n when_o a_o king_n be_v crown_v and_o be_v honour_v in_o his_o robe_n the_o crown_n and_o his_o robe_n be_v also_o reverence_v but_o yet_o in_o respect_n of_o another_o thing_n to_o wit_n of_o his_o kingly_a dignity_n whereof_o they_o be_v ornament_n not_o in_o respect_n of_o themselves_o for_o hereby_o it_o plain_o appear_v that_o the_o honour_n and_o reverence_n be_v not_o refer_v too_o those_o thing_n because_o when_o the_o king_n have_v put_v they_o off_o no_o man_n can_v endure_v to_o reverence_v they_o unless_o he_o be_v out_o of_o his_o wit_n but_o they_o be_v reverence_v for_o another_o to_o wit_n for_o the_o king_n sake_n of_o who_o they_o be_v wear_v neither_o ever_o do_v the_o crown_n or_o robe_n grow_v up_o into_o one_o real_a be_v with_o the_o king_n much_o more_o therefore_o shall_v some_o thing_n be_v say_v in_o respect_n of_o another_o which_o be_v join_v personal_o with_o another_o which_o yet_o can_v by_o no_o mean_n in_o respect_n of_o itself_o be_v attribute_v unto_o it_o so_o there_o be_v attribute_v to_o the_o word_n take_v man_n nature_n that_o which_o be_v peculiar_a to_o man_n nature_n as_o when_o it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n suffer_v as_o also_o to_o maa_v nature_n 28._o act_n 20._o 28._o that_o which_o be_v peculiar_a to_o the_o word_n take_v upon_o it_o man_n nature_n as_o when_o in_o man_n nature_n at_o what_o time_n he_o talk_v with_o nichodemus_n in_o the_o
