present_a age_n that_o so_o the_o former_a age_n deliver_v to_o she_o what_o shall_v we_o say_v then_o when_o to_o the_o evident_a testimony_n of_o the_o present_a age_n for_o catholic_a verity_n may_v be_v add_v a_o world_n of_o testimony_n both_o of_o scripture_n and_o ancient_a writer_n beyond_o all_o comparison_n far_o more_o than_o for_o her_o enemy_n contradictory_n assertion_n even_o those_o enemy_n themselves_o be_v judge_n as_o will_v appear_v undeniable_o to_o any_o man_n that_o will_v consult_v that_o one_o book_n of_o brercley_n apology_n of_o protestant_n for_o the_o

the_o six_o special_a controversy_n which_o i_o shall_v brief_o consider_v shall_v be_v 1._o concern_v the_o eucharist_n and_o therein_o of_o the_o real_a presence_n of_o christ_n body_n by_o way_n

of_o these_o be_v both_o because_o these_o be_v the_o especial_a controversy_n wherein_o there_o be_v a_o real_a and_o manifest_a difference_n between_o catholic_n and_o protestant_n who_o make_v these_o point_v the_o principal_a cause_n of_o their_o separation_n for_o as_o concern_v the_o debate_n about_o grace_n and_o freewill_n predestination_n and_o justification_n as_o likewise_o the_o merit_n of_o good_a work_n though_o ignorant-popular-preaching_a protestant_n make_v a_o great_a clamour_n about_o they_o yet_o i_o be_v most_o assure_v that_o there_o be_v indeed_o a_o real_a agreement_n when_o they_o come_v to_o explain_v themselves_o sensible_o about_o they_o as_o for_o the_o controversy_n concern_v the_o pope_n i_o have_v speak_v sufficient_o in_o the_o 52._o chapter_n at_o the_o latter_a end_n of_o the_o four_o conclusion_n 2._o first_o therefore_o concern_v the_o real_a presence_n of_o christ_n body_n in_o the_o eucharist_n and_o that_o by_o way_n of_o

follow_v the_o church_n of_o england_n i_o be_v teach_v there_o it_o will_v be_v sufficient_a for_o i_o to_o signify_v that_o by_o that_o church_n i_o be_v teach_v that_o in_o the_o bless_a

be_v any_o real_a change_n make_v in_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n which_o remain_v after_o consecration_n as_o they_o be_v before_o in_o a_o word_n i_o be_v teach_v to_o say_v what_o neither_o i_o nor_o any_o other_o be_v able_a to_o express_v save_v only_o that_o the_o romish_a doctrine_n be_v false_a which_o teach_v that_o that_o presence_n be_v make_v by_o a_o presence_n of_o christ_n body_n under_o the_o species_n which_o only_o remain_v of_o the_o visible_a element_n 3._o now_o when_o i_o say_v that_o i_o be_v teach_v to_o express_v my_o belief_n thus_o by_o the_o church_n of_o

understanding_n as_o we_o see_v a_o world_n of_o writer_n allow_v there_o to_o have_v express_v themselves_o yea_o in_o the_o 28._o and_o 29._o article_n of_o that_o church_n there_o be_v certain_a clause_n which_o require_v only_o a_o figurative_a sense_n to_o be_v understand_v as_o when_o it_o be_v say_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n be_v give_v take_v and_o eat_v in_o the_o supper_n only_o after_o a_o heavenly_a and_o spiritual_a manner_n and_o the_o mean_v whereby_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n be_v receive_v and_o eat_v in_o the_o supper_n be_v faith_n and_o again_o the_o wicked_a etc._n etc._n be_v in_o no_o wise_a partaker_n of_o christ_n but_o rather_o to_o their_o condemnation_n do_v eat_v and_o drink_v the_o sign_n or_o sacrament_n of_o so_o great_a a_o thing_n which_o clause_n be_v allow_v those_o article_n do_v admit_v yea_o require_v not_o only_o the_o calvinistical_a but_o even_o the_o zuinglian_a sense_n concern_v that_o point_n yet_o notwithstanding_o this_o whether_o the_o calvinisticall_a party_n there_o have_v with_o their_o usual_a importunity_n extort_a the_o insert_v of_o those_o clause_n into_o the_o article_n i_o know_v not_o yet_o those_o that_o follow_v the_o prelatical_a govern_v faction_n never_o consider_v those_o expression_n but_o without_o any_o calvinisticall_a hypscrisie_n profess_v that_o they_o believe_v the_o real_a presence_n as_o true_o and_o real_o and_o proper_o as_o the_o catholic_n do_v poissy_n and_o so_o king_n james_n command_v monsieur_n casaubon_n to_o signify_v his_o sense_n to_o cardinal_n perron_n in_o the_o word_n of_o doctor_n andrews_n than_o bishop_n of_o ely_n 4._o now_o what_o other_o reason_n can_v be_v imagine_v shall_v move_v the_o most_o learned_a and_o prudent_a part_n of_o the_o english_a clergy_n to_o express_v themselves_o so_o near_o the_o catholic_a sense_n but_o only_o a_o conviction_n that_o beside_o the_o formal_a word_n of_o scripture_n the_o ecclesiastical_a tradition_n and_o general_a doctrine_n of_o the_o father_n enforce_v such_o a_o sense_n but_o by_o what_o mystery_n it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o they_o shall_v dispense_v with_o themselves_o for_o follow_v tradition_n no_o further_o but_o that_o under_o a_o pretence_n that_o the_o sacrament_n be_v a_o mystery_n inexplicable_a they_o shall_v forsake_v the_o same_o tradition_n and_o father_n who_o general_o profess_v that_o that_o presence_n be_v make_v by_o a_o real_a transmutation_n of_o the_o visible_a element_n into_o the_o very_a body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n this_o i_o confess_v i_o can_v never_o comprehend_v 5._o now_o that_o such_o be_v the_o traditionary_a doctrine_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n beside_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o present_a age_n which_o will_v be_v of_o infinite_a weight_n to_o any_o one_o that_o due_o consider_v it_o and_o to_o omit_v a_o world_n of_o quotation_n out_o of_o counsel_n and_o father_n wherein_o expression_n to_o prove_v the_o same_o be_v as_o full_a yea_o perhaps_o more_o rigid_a than_o the_o decision_n of_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n itself_o i_o become_v convince_v from_o these_o consideration_n viz._n 1._o because_o in_o all_o the_o ancient_a liturgy_n that_o ever_o i_o see_v there_o be_v express_a mention_n of_o the_o verity_n and_o reality_n of_o this_o change_n and_o not_o any_o the_o least_o intimation_n of_o a_o figurative_a sense_n there_o be_v express_a prayer_n that_o god_n will_v by_o his_o omnipotent_a power_n cause_v the_o bread_n and_o wine_n to_o become_v the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o our_o lord_n and_o not_o the_o least_o intimation_n that_o the_o way_n of_o communicate_v of_o these_o mystery_n shall_v be_v only_o by_o faith_n or_o by_o the_o operation_n of_o the_o understanding_n 2._o because_o in_o the_o form_n of_o communicate_v both_o in_o the_o eastern_a and_o western_a church_n which_o form_n or_o canon_n s._n chrysostome_n s._n ambrose_n s._n augustine_n s._n basile_n etc._n etc._n attribute_n to_o the_o apostle_n themselves_o as_o author_n there_o be_v require_v from_o the_o communicant_n a_o confession_n of_o their_o belief_n of_o the_o reality_n of_o this_o change_n or_o to_o express_v it_o in_o s._n ambrose_n his_o language_n the_o sacr._n l._n 4._o c._n 3._o the_o priest_n viz._n present_v to_o thou_o that_o which_o before_o consecration_n be_v bread_n say_v
