i_o say_v the_o real_a presence_n of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o sacrament_n not_o because_o i_o think_v not_o to_o pass_v further_o to_o affirm_v the_o substantial_a conversion_n of_o

and_o the_o necessity_n of_o it_o to_o salvation_n to_o wit_n the_o communion_n and_o substantial_a union_n to_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n which_o saint_n cyrill_n call_v the_o knot_n of_o our_o union_n with_o god_n neither_o be_v it_o particular_o and_o precise_o the_o transubstantiation_n but_o the_o real_a presence_n from_o whence_o those_o two_o inconvenience_n do_v proceed_v for_o which_o your_o minister_n in_o this_o article_n have_v separate_v themselves_o from_o our_o communion_n which_o be_v the_o one_o the_o adoration_n of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o sacrament_n who_o they_o will_v have_v to_o be_v seek_v and_o adore_v only_o in_o heaven_n and_o the_o other_o be_v the_o pretend_a destruction_n of_o the_o union_n of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n by_o be_v at_o one_o time_n in_o many_o place_n in_o the_o sacrament_n i_o have_v say_v nothing_o of_o the_o prerogative_n of_o the_o roman_a church_n which_o all_o the_o ancient_a father_n have_v

antiquity_n to_o know_v that_o the_o most_o ancient_a father_n counsel_n and_o christian_a emperor_n have_v perpetual_o give_v unto_o her_o the_o primacy_n and_o supereminent_a authority_n in_o all_o

about_o these_o we_o be_v of_o accord_n it_o will_v be_v easy_a to_o agree_v about_o the_o rest_n i_o say_v that_o the_o father_n who_o live_v in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o four_o first_o counsel_n have_v all_o of_o they_o hold_v &_o practise_v as_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n albeit_o in_o different_a degree_n of_o necessity_n to_o wit_n the_o real_a presence_n of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n

and_o this_o i_o will_v do_v by_o author_n and_o testimony_n of_o good_a rank_n and_o mark_n as_o you_o know_v i_o be_o curious_a not_o to_o use_v other_o and_o with_o plain_a and_o clear_a answer_n
