Or, the answer to a question propounded in these tearms What should move you, contrary to the plain testimony of your senses, to believe, that after consecration the bread and wine in the sacrament is become really Christs very body and blood.		1659 (1659)	Wing E3164AA; ESTC R222634	19,912	20

sixteen_o hundred_o year_n namely_o to_o walk_v by_o faith_n rather_o than_o by_o sense_n in_o this_o business_n and_o to_o rest_v more_o upon_o the_o word_n and_o power_n and_o truth_n of_o god_n then_o upon_o our_o own_o reason_n or_o understanding_n consider_v i_o pray_v what_o the_o prophet_n say_v isa_n 7.9_o if_o you_o will_v not_o believe_v sure_o you_o shall_v not_o be_v establish_v
