true_o and_o without_o blush_a say_v the_o contrary_a let_v the_o same_o be_v notify_v by_o his_o answer_v to_o these_o my_o brief_a demand_n 1._o first_o i_o demand_v how_o they_o excuse_v the_o people_n that_o adore_v with_o divine_a worship_n the_o thing_n elevate_v over_o the_o priest_n head_n at_o mass_n from_o idolatry_n from_o heresy_n from_o false_a belief_n for_o if_o either_o the_o priest_n want_v intention_n to_o consecrate_v which_o often_o chance_v by_o reason_n of_o wander_a imagination_n or_o of_o purpose_n mean_v not_o to_o consecrate_v or_o of_o negligence_n omit_v any_o word_n of_o consecration_n then_o by_o popish_a religion_n the_o thing_n adore_v be_v but_o pure_a bread_n &_o so_o the_o adorer_n thereof_o become_v idolater_n worship_v a_o piece_n of_o bread_n for_o 17._o the_o everliving_a god_n and_o if_o the_o people_n either_o refuse_v to_o adore_v or_o doubt_v if_o they_o may_v adore_v they_o be_v deem_v heretic_n ipso_fw-la facto_fw-la for_o their_o pain_n because_o as_o the_o pope_n disholie_a canon_n tell_v we_o he_o that_o but_o doubt_v of_o romish_a definition_n concern_v faith_n and_o manner_n be_v a_o heretic_n 2_o secondlie_o i_o demand_v what_o it_o be_v that_o the_o priest_n receive_v and_o deliver_v to_o the_o communicant_n when_o he_o have_v 40._o bread_n before_o he_o suppose_v they_o to_o be_v but_o 38._o or_o 39_o and_o so_o intend_v to_o consecrate_v no_o more_o for_o beyond_o the_o priest_n intention_n consecration_n can_v extend_v as_o all_o wise_a papist_n grant_v neither_o be_v his_o intention_n more_o limit_v to_o one_o bread_n then_o to_o a_o other_o and_o therefore_o can_v no_o more_o consecrate_v one_o bread_n then_o another_o 3_o thirdlie_o i_o demand_v which_o part_n of_o the_o host_n as_o they_o term_v it_o be_v the_o popish_a make_v god_n when_o the_o sacrificer_n intend_v indefinitelie_o to_o consecrate_v the_o one_o half_a of_o the_o say_a host_n and_o how_o there_o in_o adore_v they_o can_v avoid_v idolatry_n 4_o four_o i_o demand_v how_o many_o god_n or_o how_o many_o time_n god_n be_v make_v in_o
and_o do_v not_o conclude_v necessary_o for_o our_o faith_n be_v ground_v upon_o revelation_n make_v to_o the_o apostle_n and_o prophet_n who_o write_v the_o canonical_a scripture_n but_o not_o upon_o

scripture_n 3_o i_o gather_v thirdlie_o that_o man_n reason_n may_v never_o be_v use_v to_o establish_v any_o point_n of_o doctrine_n 4_o i_o gather_v fourthly_a that_o the_o father_n be_v to_o be_v read_v reverentlie_o and_o their_o authority_n to_o be_v use_v as_o probable_a reason_n but_o not_o as_o necessary_a demonstration_n 5_o i_o gather_v fiftlie_o that_o feign_a romish_a revelation_n be_v not_o authentical_a and_o consequent_o that_o all_o revelation_n divulge_v under_o the_o name_n of_o saint_n bridget_n and_o other_o be_v either_o meereillusion_n or_o of_o small_a force_n and_o
