confidence_n to_o have_v say_v as_o he_o now_o do_v i_o doubt_v not_o but_o it_o appear_v that_o the_o text_n bring_v on_o the_o catholic_n roman_a side_n be_v abundant_o plain_a and_o sufficient_a for_o the_o be_v of_o christ_n body_n in_o the_o sacrament_n as_o thus_o set_v down_o and_o it_o will_v doubtless_o have_v be_v some_o gratification_n to_o his_o reader_n if_o he_o have_v give_v we_o a_o paraphrase_n as_o his_o adversary_n have_v do_v according_a to_o these_o his_o sentiment_n but_o here_o he_o say_v that_o the_o answerer_n pretend_v not_o to_o prove_v by_o these_o text_n that_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o in_o the_o sacrament_n p._n 24_o why_o so_o because_o it_o be_v one_o of_o their_o negative_a article_n and_o to_o require_v plain_a and_o express_v word_n of_o scripture_n to_o prove_v such_o a_o thing_n be_v not_o there_o teach_v be_v say_v he_o to_o demand_v a_o proof_n the_o thing_n be_v not_o capable_a of_o as_o if_o suppose_v there_o be_v not_o express_v word_n of_o scripture_n to_o confute_v arianism_n therefore_o that_o can_v not_o be_v confute_v by_o scripture_n it_o be_v enough_o that_o what_o be_v not_o in_o scripture_n be_v no_o article_n of_o faith_n it_o be_v enough_o that_o there_o be_v such_o proposition_n in_o scripture_n as_o be_v sufficient_a to_o refute_v it_o though_o there_o shall_v not_o be_v express_a word_n but_o however_o if_o he_o will_v take_v it_o in_o the_o word_n of_o our_o article_n and_o if_o it_o may_v be_v to_o his_o content_n we_o shall_v find_v it_o positive_o say_v that_o transubstantiation_n be_v repugnant_a to_o the_o plain_a word_n of_o scripture_n and_o we_o have_v our_o author_n acknowledge_v that_o his_o adversary_n undertake_v to_o show_v that_o the_o protestant_n have_v the_o letter_n of_o scripture_n for_o they_o mean_v as_o he_o say_v that_o in_o the_o sacrament_n be_v not_o contain_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n p._n 30._o and_o now_o let_v we_o try_v whether_o the_o answerer_n do_v not_o give_v they_o more_o than_o his_o bare_a word_n for_o it_o in_o the_o use_n he_o make_v of_o his_o own_o quotation_n as_o he_o observe_v from_o thence_o sect_n ii_o 1._o that_o it_o be_v no_o contradiction_n to_o our_o saviour_n manner_n of_o speak_v 2._o to_o interpret_v these_o word_n figurative_o since_o our_o author_n after_o all_o his_o exclamation_n of_o give_v christ_n the_o lie_n be_v force_v though_o here_o he_o slip_v over_o it_o elsewhere_o to_o acknowledge_v that_o the_o cup_n yea_o and_o the_o word_n bread_n be_v so_o use_v p._n 28._o 2._o that_o in_o many_o

after_o consecration_n as_o before_o so_o it_o be_v five_o time_n call_v bread_n 1_o cor._n 10._o 26_o etc._n etc._n and_o the_o whole_a solemnity_n be_v call_v break_v of_o bread_n act._n 2._o 42._o to_o this_o our_o author_n reply_v several_a way_n as_o by_o the_o word_n bread_n say_v he_o be_v mean_v the_o communion_n of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n as_o by_o the_o word_n cup_n be_v signify_v the_o communion_n of_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n p._n 24._o but_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v 1._o that_o if_o the_o word_n bread_n and_o cup_n be_v not_o to_o be_v understand_v literal_o but_o with_o a_o thereby_o be_v mean_v and_o thereby_o be_v signify_v then_o there_o be_v no_o more_o reason_n from_o the_o bare_a word_n to_o understand_v this_o be_v my_o body_n literal_o and_o that_o it_o may_v be_v as_o well_o interpret_v this_o be_v the_o representation_n and_o sign_n of_o my_o body_n as_o this_o bread_n be_v the_o communion_n of_o my_o body_n 2._o from_o hence_o it_o follow_v that_o if_o the_o bread_n be_v the_o communion_n of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n as_o the_o cup_n be_v the_o communion_n of_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n than_o the_o bread_n be_v no_o more_o change_v than_o the_o cup_n but_o as_o the_o cup_n remain_v the_o cup_n so_o the_o bread_n remain_v the_o bread_n in_o the_o communion_n 3._o if_o the_o bread_n be_v the_o communion_n of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n than_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n be_v in_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o bread_n and_o so_o the_o bread_n be_v still_o bread._n 4._o our_o author_n have_v not_o touch_v the_o point_n which_o be_v to_o show_v the_o letter_n of_o scripture_n be_v for_o we_o when_o it_o call_v it_o bread_n after_o consecration_n but_o he_o say_v saint_n paul_n mention_n not_o the_o word_n cup_n and_o bread_n but_o he_o explain_v they_o to_o be_v the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n 1_o cor._n 11._o 26._o as_o often_o as_o you_o eat_v this_o bread_n you_o do_v show_v the_o lord_n death_n which_o be_v not_o show_v but_o by_o offer_v up_o his_o true_a and_o real_a body_n and_o blood._n i_o answer_v so_o we_o may_v better_o say_v he_o mention_n not_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n but_o he_o explain_v it_o when_o he_o five_o time_n afterward_o call_v it_o bread_n but_o how_o do_v the_o show_v of_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n prove_v the_o bread_n to_o be_v his_o body_n when_o it_o rather_o prove_v it_o not_o to_o be_v his_o body_n because_o his_o body_n be_v not_o according_a to_o they_o visible_a and_o to_o be_v show_v he_o say_v further_a how_o can_v they_o be_v guilty_a of_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o the_o lord_n v_o 27._o if_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n be_v not_o there_o i_o answer_v as_o person_n may_v be_v guilty_a of_o it_o out_o of_o the_o sacrament_n

defence_n i_o answer_v to_o this_o 1._o in_o general_n it_o be_v manifest_a that_o our_o saviour_n be_v not_o literal_o plain_a since_o it_o be_v acknowledge_v that_o his_o discourse_n be_v figurative_a from_o ver_fw-la 32._o to_o ver_fw-la 51._o and_o be_v it_o not_o strange_a that_o when_o he_o have_v so_o long_o discourse_v after_o that_o manner_n that_o yet_o in_o one_o verse_n he_o shall_v mean_v literal_o and_o which_o if_o literal_o understand_v will_v be_v so_o manifest_a a_o contradiction_n to_o the_o sense_n and_o reason_n of_o mankind_n that_o if_o he_o have_v literal_o

not_o he_o propound_v the_o case_n in_o dispute_n and_o give_v we_o a_o like_a instance_n in_o figurative_a and_o metaphorical_a expression_n such_o as_o our_o saviour_n use_v in_o this_o chapter_n for_o be_v seal_v hunger_a etc._n etc._n to_o be_v understand_v proper_o because_o it_o be_v not_o say_v that_o they_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v figurative_o nay_o be_v eat_v his_o flesh_n and_o drink_v his_o blood_n to_o be_v understand_v proper_o then_o certain_o the_o capernait_n be_v in_o the_o right_n that_o think_v our_o saviour_n speak_v of_o carnal_a eat_v which_o yet_o our_o author_n will_v not_o allow_v 3._o he_o say_v there_o be_v never_o more_o occasion_n to_o expound_v if_o a_o figure_n than_o when_o the_o jew_n murmur_v and_o some_o of_o his_o disciple_n go_v away_o and_o what_o he_o see_v occasion_n our_o difference_n 1._o as_o for_o the_o murmur_a of_o the_o jew_n there_o be_v no_o such_o occasion_n for_o our_o saviour_n expound_v it_o for_o thus_o also_o they_o murmur_v because_o that_o christ_n say_v i_o be_o the_o bread_n that_o come_v down_o from_o heaven_n v_o 41._o and_o yet_o though_o he_o take_v notice_n of_o it_o ver_fw-la 43._o he_o think_v not_o

they_o as_o a_o obstinate_a and_o intractable_a sort_n of_o people_n and_o so_o do_v purposely_o conceal_v himself_o often_o as_o be_v observe_v before_o mark_v 13._o and_o this_o we_o be_v not_o without_o some_o light_n in_o in_o the_o case_n before_o we_o for_o this_o discourse_n of_o he_o be_v in_o the_o synagogue_n v_o 59_o and_o they_o be_v the_o same_o people_n that_o before_o be_v

from_o our_o difference_n if_o he_o have_v mean_v it_o proper_o i_o grant_v there_o can_v never_o be_v more_o occasion_n because_o it_o be_v a_o doctrine_n so_o contrary_a to_o the_o sense_n and_o

be_v as_o much_o reason_n for_o our_o saviour_n to_o expound_v himself_o when_o he_o say_v he_o be_v bread_n a_o door_n a_o vine_n a_o rock_n but_o all_o this_o while_n our_o author_n suppose_v our_o

v._n 68_o 69._o 4._o he_o say_v that_o christ_n be_v so_o far_o from_o meaning_n otherwise_o than_o plain_o as_o he_o speak_v that_o to_o the_o murmur_a jew_n he_o confirm_v it_o v_o 53._o with_o a_o
