nothing_o but_o that_o which_o christ_n institute_v be_v the_o essential_a matter_n and_o form_n of_o the_o order_n of_o priesthood_n but_o christ_n never_o institute_v the_o touch_v of_o the_o

section_n be_v the_o essential_o of_o the_o order_n of_o priesthood_n than_o it_o inevitable_o follow_v that_o the_o greek_n and_o all_o the_o christian_n disperse_v over_o all_o the_o east_n yea_o and_o the_o latin_a church_n also_o for_o a_o thousand_o year_n after_o christ_n have_v never_o any_o valid_a ordination_n because_o they_o all_o want_v the_o essential_o of_o priesthood_n for_o all_o

and_o of_o vast_a consequence_n for_o no_o priest_n no_o church_n what_o then_o must_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n to_o keep_v up_o and_o maintain_v their_o innovation_n which_o be_v a_o mere_a

that_o the_o ordination_n of_o the_o greek_n can_v be_v valid_a without_o the_o essential_o of_o ordination_n which_o the_o roman_a church_n place_v in_o the_o touch_v of_o the_o holy_a vessel_n with_o this_o form_n accipe_fw-la potestatem_fw-la etc._n etc._n receive_v a_o power_n to_o offer_v sacrifice_n etc._n etc._n for_o these_o the_o greek_n never_o use_v you_o be_v as_o good_a tell_v

may_v be_v two_o essence_n of_o ordination_n so_o that_o each_o take_v apart_o from_o the_o other_o make_v the_o ordination_n valid_a so_o when_o the_o greek_n ordain_v they_o use_v for_o matter_n the_o imposition_n of_o hand_n and_o for_o form_n these_o word_n divina_fw-la gratia_fw-la etc._n etc._n the_o divine_a grace_n which_o always_o heal_v that_o which_o be_v infirm_a and_o supply_n that_o which_o be_v defective_a promote_v this_o most_o holy_a deacon_n to_o be_v a_o priest_n by_o this_o matter_n and_o form_n the_o greek_n do_v valid_o confer_v the_o order_n of_o priesthood_n and_o when_o the_o romanist_n ordain_v they_o do_v the_o like_a by_o their_o peculiar_a matter_n and_o form_n so_o that_o neither_o be_v rigorous_o necessary_a but_o either_o may_v suffice_v this_o doctrine_n be_v very_o paradoxical_a for_o in_o substance_n it_o assert_n that_o one_o and_o the_o same_o thing_n may_v have_v two_o complete_a and_o adequate_a essence_n specifical_o and_o generical_o different_a from_o each_o other_o which_o be_v impossible_a for_o a_o thing_n and_o his_o adequate_a essence_n be_v the_o same_o and_o nothing_o can_v be_v specifical_o or_o generical_o different_a from_o its_o self_n but_o you_o will_v say_v these_o be_v not_o two_o essence_n of_o the_o same_o thing_n but_o two_o different_a cause_n of_o the_o same_o effect_n to_o solve_v this_o i_o must_v distinguish_v between_o the_o order_n itself_o and_o the_o ordination_n the_o order_n be_v that_o spiritual_a power_n which_o be_v give_v to_o the_o ordain_v by_o virtue_n of_o his_o ordination_n from_o whence_o result_v the_o order_n together_o with_o its_o concomitant_a supernatural_a effect_n which_o be_v the_o character_n and_o sacramental_a grace_n that_o be_v inseparable_a from_o it_o the_o ordination_n be_v make_v up_o of_o those_o action_n and_o word_n which_o the_o ordainer_n exercise_v and_o appli_v to_o the_o ordain_v so_o that_o the_o ordination_n participate_v more_o of_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o causality_n then_o of_o a_o cause_n and_o the_o whole_a essence_n of_o this_o ordination_n be_v the_o matter_n and_o form_n institute_v by_o christ_n for_o whatsoever_o be_v assume_v by_o the_o original_a instituter_n and_o by_o he_o elevate_v and_o impower_v to_o produce_v such_o admirable_a supernatural_a and_o sacramental_a effect_n be_v the_o essence_n of_o ordination_n so_o that_o order_n be_v the_o effect_n and_o ordination_n the_o cause_n wherefore_o if_o you_o appoint_v new_a essential_o of_o ordination_n you_o not_o only_o grant_v two_o cause_n of_o the_o same_o effect_n but_o two_o essence_n of_o the_o same_o thing_n whereby_o you_o render_v ordination_n specifical_o and_o essential_o distinct_a from_o its_o self_n and_o because_o none_o but_o a_o omnipotent_a power_n can_v raise_v natural_a cause_n to_o such_o vigour_n and_o energy_n as_o to_o produce_v such_o extraordinary_a effect_n therefore_o that_o matter_n and_o form_n which_o christ_n have_v institute_v to_o this_o end_n be_v the_o total_a essence_n of_o ordination_n and_o herein_o the_o greek_n have_v the_o advantage_n for_o they_o ever_o use_v the_o imposition_n of_o hand_n with_o the_o form_n above_o mention_v which_o the_o primitive_a church_n receive_v from_o the_o apostle_n and_o they_o from_o christ_n so_o the_o greek_n be_v sure_a that_o their_o ordination_n have_v a_o legal_a and_o valid_a institution_n but_o where_o shall_v we_o find_v another_o adequate_a essence_n of_o ordination_n by_o divine_a institution_n that_o of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n have_v no_o such_o prerogative_n for_o we_o know_v its_o origine_fw-la and_o have_v scan_v its_o pedigree_n whereby_o we_o find_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o human_a authority_n to_o authorise_v it_o which_o have_v no_o proportion_n to_o such_o wonderful_a effect_n which_o be_v out_o of_o the_o reach_n of_o nature_n and_o none_o but_o a_o omnipotent_a power_n can_v produce_v hence_o we_o ground_o conclude_v that_o there_o be_v but_o one_o valid_a ordination_n which_o have_v but_o one_o certain_a and_o determinate_a nature_n and_o essence_n neither_o be_v there_o any_o power_n upon_o earth_n that_o can_v add_v to_o it_o or_o take_v from_o it_o so_o that_o in_o vain_a you_o assign_v the_o touch_v of_o the_o vessel_n with_o its_o form_n for_o a_o

by_o word_n nor_o action_n who_o then_o dare_v obtrude_v this_o as_o belong_v to_o the_o essence_n of_o ordination_n which_o be_v of_o divine_a right_n as_o all_o
the_o ritual_a a_o needless_a addition_n though_o in_o effect_n it_o be_v destructive_a of_o the_o validity_n of_o ordination_n by_o render_v the_o essential_o useless_a and_o draw_v from_o they_o the_o intention_n of_o ordain_v as_o be_v above_o declare_v but_o if_o this_o addition_n be_v not_o essential_a why_o be_v the_o power_n of_o offer_v sacrifice_n express_v in_o it_o sure_o the_o

and_o that_o which_o christ_n institute_v be_v reject_v as_o circumstantial_a which_o vitiate_v the_o ordination_n a_o eight_o objection_n the_o ground_n of_o this_o discourse_n against_o the_o validity_n of_o ordination_n according_a to_o the_o roman_a ritual_a depend_v upon_o that_o opinion_n which_o allow_v to_o the_o sacrament_n a_o physical_a influence_n into_o the_o supernatural_a effect_n thereof_o for_o great_a difficulty_n be_v make_v how_o natural_a cause_n can_v produce_v supernatural_a effect_n on_o pretence_n that_o none_o but_o a_o omnipotent_a power_n can_v elevate_v they_o per_fw-la potentiam_fw-la obedientialem_fw-la to_o render_v nature_n proportionable_a to_o that_o which_o be_v above_o nature_n wherefore_o admit_v only_o a_o moral_a causality_n which_o be_v a_o probable_a opinion_n hold_v and_o maintain_v by_o many_o divine_n this_o difficulty_n will_v cease_v for_o then_o the_o church_n may_v ordain_v and_o determine_v the_o matter_n and_o form_n of_o

answer_n be_v that_o many_o grave_a and_o learned_a divine_n maintain_v that_o the_o sacrament_n do_v real_o and_o physical_o produce_v their_o supernatural_a effect_n and_o they_o prove_v it_o by_o

can_v never_o pretend_v to_o or_o challenge_v as_o due_a so_o that_o a_o omnipotent_a power_n be_v here_o rigorous_o necessary_a to_o institute_v and_o determine_v the_o matter_n and_o form_n of_o sacrament_n which_o be_v all_o their_o essence_n and_o to_o communicate_v to_o they_o this_o high_a prerogative_n which_o surpass_v all_o the_o strength_n of_o nature_n as_o well_o angelical_a as_o

in_o some_o case_n a_o denomination_n may_v be_v appropriate_v to_o the_o whole_a which_o can_v be_v apply_v to_o the_o part_n thereof_o if_o take_v separately_z as_o the_o compound_n of_o a_o body_n

extant_a in_o this_o case_n a_o real_a effect_n can_v proceed_v from_o they_o all_o neither_o by_o a_o physical_a action_n nor_o by_o a_o physical_a determination_n but_o this_o real_a effect_n must_v be_v produce_v in_o the_o same_o moment_n of_o time_n when_o the_o cause_n of_o it_o be_v existent_a whether_o its_o influence_n be_v physical_a or_o moral_a provide_v that_o its_o determination_n

into_o the_o cause_n the_o essential_a matter_n and_o form_n of_o ordination_n due_o apply_v be_v the_o cause_n of_o those_o real_a effect_n either_o by_o a_o real_a influence_n and_o principiate_v

so_o that_o the_o effect_n can_v be_v defer_v or_o suspend_v when_o the_o cause_n either_o physical_a or_o moral_a be_v sufficient_o apply_v and_o certain_a it_o be_v that_o the_o ritual_a contain_v

section_n as_o for_o the_o imposition_n of_o hand_n we_o find_v it_o in_o three_o place_n only_o in_o the_o roman_a ritual_a and_o neither_o of_o these_o three_o imposition_n of_o hand_n belong_v to_o the_o essential_a matter_n of_o ordination_n as_o we_o have_v prove_v in_o the_o four_o section_n by_o induction_n or_o enumeration_n of_o part_n my_o second_o answer_n be_v that_o notwithstanding_o

here_o it_o may_v be_v allege_v that_o the_o drift_n of_o all_o these_o proof_n be_v no_o other_o than_o to_o make_v it_o appear_v that_o the_o whole_a business_n of_o transubstantiation_n be_v supernatural_a and_o miraculous_a which_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n free_o acknowledge_v and_o be_v induce_v to_o this_o belief_n by_o the_o authority_n of_o christ_n himself_o who_o hold_v bread_n

we_o all_o know_v that_o the_o substance_n of_o bread_n can_v by_o natural_a mean_n be_v convert_v into_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n but_o by_o the_o illimited_a power_n of_o god_n it_o may_v be_v

may_v be_v believe_v yet_o not_o slight_o and_o without_o sufficient_a reason_n but_o if_o by_o a_o urgent_a and_o indispensable_a necessity_n or_o a_o irrefragable_a authority_n which_o bring_v

in_o the_o next_o proof_n i_o shall_v make_v it_o appear_v that_o here_o be_v no_o such_o inductive_a no_o necessity_n of_o yield_v our_o assent_n to_o such_o a_o prodigious_a number_n of_o miracle_n not_o once_o only_o but_o daily_o and_o hourly_o repeat_v and_o constant_o continue_v and_o so_o to_o last_v till_o the_o world_n end_n second_o i_o answer_v that_o in_o the_o second_o proof_n of_o this_o assertion_n it_o appear_v that_o from_o this_o doctrine_n of_o transubstantiation_n it_o unavoidable_o follow_v that_o all_o natural_a cause_n both_o can_v and_o do_v actual_o create_v and_o

be_v no_o necessity_n neither_o from_o scripture_n nor_o reason_n nor_o from_o any_o other_o revelation_n to_o admit_v transubstantiation_n the_o great_a necessity_n that_o have_v be_v hitherto_o allege_v be_v draw_v from_o those_o word_n of_o christ_n hoc_fw-la est_fw-la corpus_fw-la meum_fw-la but_o from_o hence_o no_o necessity_n can_v be_v derive_v for_o they_o that_o hold_v consubstantiation_n and_o assert_v that_o christ_n body_n exist_v in_o the_o sacrament_n together_o with_o the_o substance_n of_o bread_n these_o i_o say_v as_o rigorous_o stand_v to_o the_o literal_a sense_n of_o christ_n word_n and_o as_o proper_o verify_v they_o as_o they_o who_o hold_v transubstantiation_n for_o the_o word_n of_o themselves_o imply_v no_o conversion_n or_o change_v of_o one_o substance_n into_o another_o but_o if_o take_v in_o a_o literal_a sense_n they_o only_o signify_v christ_n body_n there_o present_a wherefore_o there_o be_v no_o necessity_n from_o these_o word_n to_o multiply_v so_o many_o miracle_n yea_o and_o impossibility_n as_o be_v infer_v from_o transubstantiation_n because_o the_o literal_a sense_n of_o the_o word_n may_v be_v save_v without_o they_o but_o in_o reality_n there_o be_v no_o more_o necessity_n of_o understand_v those_o word_n of_o christ_n in_o a_o literal_a sense_n then_o when_o he_o say_v i_o be_o a_o door_n i_o be_o a_o vine_n etc._n etc._n for_o since_o the_o scripture_n be_v capable_a of_o so_o many_o sense_n and_o interpretation_n there_o be_v no_o reason_n nor_o necessity_n of_o wrest_v it_o to_o that_o sense_n alone_o which_o bring_v with_o it_o the_o great_a difficulty_n of_o any_o especial_o when_o by_o congruity_n and_o other_o place_n of_o scripture_n it_o may_v be_v connatural_o understand_v in_o another_o sense_n and_o since_o it_o be_v usual_a with_o our_o great_a redeemer_n to_o speak_v by_o allegory_n parable_n by_o trope_n and_o figure_n it_o be_v most_o likely_a he_o speak_v so_o here_o which_o be_v sufficient_o intimate_v by_o christ_n himself_o tell_v his_o disciple_n john_n 6._o vers_fw-la 63._o that_o it_o be_v the_o spirit_n that_o quicken_v the_o flesh_n profit_v nothing_o the_o word_n that_o i_o speak_v unto_o you_o be_v spirit_n and_o life_n and_o yet_o the_o word_n that_o he_o then_o speak_v be_v concern_v his_o body_n hence_o i_o conclude_v that_o the_o word_n of_o christ_n above_o rehearse_v can_v ground_v no_o necessary_a inference_n of_o transubstantiation_n sect_n iii_o of_o the_o possibility_n of_o transubstantiation_n as_o hold_v by_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n in_o order_n to_o the_o determination_n of_o this_o difficulty_n i_o must_v first_o premise_v that_o according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o logic_n no_o affirmative_a proposition_n or_o enunciation_n
