thought_n do_v in_o a_o man_n mind_n yet_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o it_o to_o be_v in_o many_o place_n at_o once_o so_o that_o if_o we_o shall_v grant_v matter_n to_o be_v immaterial_a and_o a_o body_n to_o be_v a_o spirit_n yet_o the_o papist_n be_v so_o entangle_v in_o the_o absurdity_n of_o this_o doctrine_n that_o it_o will_v do_v they_o no_o good_a to_o allow_v they_o half_o a_o score_n contradiction_n neither_o will_v it_o any_o way_n relieve_v they_o or_o free_v they_o from_o the_o rest_n whereas_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n a_o body_n be_v know_v to_o fill_v and_o possess_v the_o place_n in_o which_o it_o be_v and_o be_v circumscribe_v by_o the_o bound_n and_o limit_n of_o the_o place_n which_o be_v commensurate_a to_o the_o magnitude_n and_o figure_n of_o the_o body_n so_o that_o if_o a_o body_n shall_v be_v in_o many_o place_n at_o once_o it_o may_v not_o only_o have_v quite_o contrary_a situation_n and_o be_v east_n west_n north_n and_o south_n of_o itself_o be_v above_o itself_o and_o below_o itself_o all_o at_o once_o but_o also_o it_o will_v be_v circumscribe_v and_o not_o circumscribe_v at_o the_o same_o time_n which_o be_v a_o very_a plain_a and_o open_a contradiction_n 2._o the_o second_o head_n of_o contradiction_n be_v those_o which_o attend_v the_o doctrine_n of_o transubstantiation_n in_o point_n of_o time._n every_o thing_n that_o have_v now_o a_o be_v either_o always_o have_v a_o be_v and_o be_v eternal_a which_o only_o god_n be_v or_o else_o it_o have_v a_o beginning_n of_o its_o be_v in_o which_o it_o have_v continue_v ever_o since_o which_o be_v the_o condition_n of_o all_o creature_n and_o this_o continuance_n of_o a_o creature_n in_o be_v we_o call_v the_o duration_n of_o it_o which_o be_v so_o essential_a to_o all_o substance_n whether_o material_a or_o immaterial_a that_o it_o be_v absolute_o inseparable_a from_o they_o for_o when_o their_o be_v begin_v their_o duration_n begin_v and_o when_o their_o duration_n cease_v their_o be_v cease_v this_o duration_n be_v count_v by_o day_n month_n and_o year_n and_o such_o like_o great_a or_o lesser_a portion_n of_o time_n which_o time_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o measure_n of_o duration_n whereby_o we_o reckon_v how_o long_o a_o substance_n have_v continue_v or_o persevere_v in_o be_v and_o now_o we_o have_v a_o test_n in_o our_o hand_n to_o try_v whether_o it_o be_v not_o absolute_o impossible_a for_o the_o transubstantiation-body_n in_o the_o sacrament_n to_o be_v the_o very_a body_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o virgin_n mary_n the_o body_n which_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o virgin_n mary_n have_v continue_v in_o be_v 1688_o year_n whereas_o the_o body_n which_o the_o priest_n 1676._o make_v yesterday_o have_v continue_v in_o be_v but_o one_o day_n but_o the_o duration_n of_o one_o day_n only_o can_v be_v the_o duration_n of_o 1688_o year_n and_o the_o duration_n of_o 1688_o year_n be_v now_o inseparable_a from_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n bear_v of_o the_o virgin_n mary_n for_o the_o duration_n of_o a_o substance_n be_v inseparable_a from_o the_o substance_n therefore_o the_o body_n which_o the_o priest_n make_v yesterday_o can_v be_v the_o body_n which_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o virgin_n mary_n which_o be_v to_o be_v demonstrate_v again_o if_o the_o body_n in_o the_o sacrament_n which_o be_v make_v that_o be_v begin_v to_o be_v yesterday_o be_v the_o same_o body_n which_o have_v continue_v 1688_o year_n than_o the_o same_o body_n continue_v 1687_o year_n and_o upward_o before_o it_o begin_v to_o be_v but_o before_o it_o begin_v to_o be_v it_o be_v not_o in_o be_v and_o consequent_o in_o every_o minute_n during_o that_o 1687_o year_n the_o same_o body_n be_v in_o be_v and_o be_v not_o in_o be_v which_o amount_v to_o million_o of_o contradiction_n once_o more_o it_o must_v be_v grant_v that_o the_o cause_n be_v in_o be_v before_o the_o effect_n and_o it_o will_v be_v a_o double_a repugnancy_n to_o say_v the_o contrary_a for_o then_o the_o effect_n will_v be_v both_o before_o itself_o for_o it_o be_v not_o a_o effect_n till_o it_o be_v cause_v and_o also_o before_o its_o cause_n and_o so_o will_v be_v cause_v by_o that_o which_o be_v not_o now_o the_o cause_n of_o the_o transubstantiation-body_n be_v these_o among_o other_o 1._o the_o bread_n out_o of_o which_o it_o be_v produce_v which_o be_v so_o necessary_a that_o this_o change_n can_v be_v wrought_v out_o of_o any_o other_o substance_n in_o the_o world_n flesh_n nor_o fish_n pillar_n nor_o post_n nor_o any_o

of_o the_o virgin_n mary_n q._n e._n d._n i_o wonder_v that_o when_o the_o representer_n hand_n be_v in_o and_o he_o have_v make_v christ_n body_n independent_a of_o place_n he_o have_v not_o

within_o the_o compass_n of_o every_o crumb_n of_o that_o wafer_n though_o not_o so_o big_a as_o a_o pins-head_n but_o i_o be_o interrupt_v from_o proceed_v any_o further_o in_o this_o attempt_n for_o by_o a_o slight_a conveyance_n the_o very_a subject-matter_n of_o my_o demonstration_n be_v take_v away_o and_o instead_o of_o a_o solid_a body_n with_o figure_n and_o dimension_n with_o different_a
