our_o saviour_n he_o pretend_v to_o be_v the_o messiah_n and_o prove_v it_o both_o by_o the_o prophecy_n that_o be_v accomplish_v in_o he_o and_o by_o the_o miracle_n that_o he_o wrought_v as_o for_o the_o prophecy_n the_o reason_n urge_v by_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n will_v conclude_v much_o strong_a that_o such_o dark_a passage_n as_o those_o of_o the_o prophet_n be_v ought_v not_o to_o be_v interpret_v by_o particular_a person_n but_o that_o the_o exposition_n of_o these_o must_v be_v refer_v to_o the_o priest_n and_o sanhedrin_n it_o be_v express_o provide_v in_o their_o law_n deut._n 17.8_o that_o when_o controversy_n arise_v concern_v any_o cause_n that_o be_v too_o intricate_a they_o be_v to_o go_v to_o the_o place_n which_o god_n shall_v choose_v and_o to_o the_o priest_n of_o the_o tribe_n of_o levi_n and_o to_o the_o judge_n in_o those_o day_n and_o that_o they_o be_v to_o declare_v what_o be_v right_a and_o to_o their_o decision_n all_o be_v oblige_v to_o submit_v under_o pain_n of_o death_n so_o that_o by_o this_o it_o appear_v that_o the_o priest_n in_o the_o jewish_a religion_n be_v authorize_v in_o so_o extraordinary_a a_o manner_n that_o i_o dare_v say_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n will_v not_o wish_v for_o a_o more_o formal_a testimony_n on_o her_o behalf_n as_o for_o our_o saviour_n miracle_n these_o be_v not_o sufficient_a neither_o unless_o his_o doctrine_n be_v first_o find_v to_o be_v good_a since_o moses_n have_v express_o warn_v the_o people_n deut._n 13_o 1._o that_o if_o a_o prophet_n come_v and_o teach_v they_o to_o follow_v after_o other_o god_n they_o be_v not_o to_o obey_v he_o though_o he_o wrought_v miracle_n to_o prove_v his_o mission_n but_o be_v to_o put_v he_o to_o death_n so_o a_o jew_n say_v that_o christ_n by_o make_v himself_o one_o with_o his_o father_n bring_v in_o the_o worship_n of_o another_o god_n may_v well_o pretend_v that_o he_o be_v not_o oblige_v to_o yield_v to_o the_o authority_n of_o our_o saviour_n miracle_n without_o take_v cognizance_n of_o his_o doctrine_n and_o of_o the_o prophecy_n concern_v the_o messiah_n and_o in_o a_o word_n of_o the_o whole_a matter_n so_o that_o if_o these_o reason_n be_v now_o good_a against_o the_o reformation_n they_o be_v as_o strong_a in_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o jew_n against_o our_o saviour_n and_o from_o hence_o we_o see_v that_o the_o authority_n that_o seem_v to_o be_v give_v by_o moses_n to_o the_o priest_n must_v be_v understand_v with_o some_o restriction_n since_o we_o not_o only_o find_v the_o prophet_n and_o jeremy_n in_o particular_a oppose_v themselves_o to_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o they_o but_o we_o see_v likewise_o that_o for_o some_o considerable_a time_n before_o our_o saviour_n day_n not_o only_o many_o ill_a ground_a tradition_n have_v get_v in_o among_o they_o by_o which_o the_o vigour_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n be_v much_o enervate_v but_o likewise_o they_o be_v also_o universal_o possess_v with_o a_o false_a notion_n of_o their_o messiah_n so_o that_o even_o the_o apostle_n themselves_o have_v not_o quite_o shake_v off_o those_o prejudices_fw-la at_o the_o time_n of_o our_o saviour_n ascension_n so_o that_o here_o a_o church_n that_o be_v still_o the_o church_n of_o god_n that_o have_v the_o appoint_a mean_n of_o the_o expiation_n of_o their_o sin_n by_o their_o sacrifice_n and_o wash_n as_o well_o as_o by_o their_o circumcision_n be_v yet_o under_o great_a and_o fatal_a error_n from_o which_o particular_a person_n have_v no_o way_n to_o extricate_v themselves_o but_o by_o examine_v the_o doctrine_n and_o text_n of_o scripture_n and_o by_o judge_v of_o they_o according_a to_o the_o evidence_n of_o truth_n and_o the_o force_n and_o freedom_n of_o their_o faculty_n vii_o it_o seem_v evident_a that_o the_o passage_n tell_v the_o church_n belong_v only_o to_o the_o reconcile_n of_o difference_n that_o of_o bind_v and_o of_o loose_v according_o to_o the_o use_n of_o those_o term_n among_o the_o jew_n signify_v only_o a_o authority_n that_o be_v give_v to_o the_o apostle_n of_o give_v precept_n by_o which_o man_n be_v to_o be_v oblige_v to_o such_o duty_n or_o set_v at_o liberty_n from_o they_o and_o the_o gate_n of_o hell_n not_o prevail_v against_o the_o church_n i_o signify_v only_o that_o the_o christian_a religion_n be_v never_o to_o come_v to_o a_o end_n or_o to_o perish_v and_o that_o of_o christ_n be_v with_o the_o apostle_n to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n import_v only_o a_o special_a conduct_n and_o protection_n which_o the_o church_n may_v always_o expect_v but_o as_o the_o promise_n i_o will_v not_o leave_v thou_o nor_o forsake_v thou_o that_o belong_v to_o every_o christian_a do_v not_o import_v a_o infallibility_n no_o more_o do_v the_o other_o and_o for_o those_o passage_n concern_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n that_o search_v all_o thing_n it_o be_v plain_a that_o in_o they_o st._n paul_n be_v treat_v of_o the_o divine_a inspiration_n by_o which_o the_o christian_a religion_n be_v then_o open_v to_o the_o world_n which_o he_o set_v in_o opposition_n to_o the_o wisdom_n or_o philosophy_n of_o the_o greek_n so_o that_o as_o all_o those_o passage_n come_v far_o short_a of_o prove_v that_o for_o which_o they_o be_v allege_v it_o must_v at_o least_o be_v acknowledge_v that_o they_o have_v not_o a_o evidence_n great_a enough_o to_o prove_v so_o important_a a_o truth_n as_o some_o will_v evince_v by_o they_o since_o it_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o such_o vast_a consequence_n that_o the_o proof_n for_o it_o must_v have_v a_o undeniable_a evidence_n viii_o in_o the_o matter_n of_o religion_n two_o thing_n be_v to_o be_v consider_v first_o the_o account_n that_o we_o must_v give_v to_o god_n and_o the_o reward_n that_o we_o expect_v from_o he_o and_o in_o this_o every_o man_n must_v answer_v for_o the_o sincerity_n of_o his_o heart_n in_o examine_v divine_a matter_n and_o the_o follow_v what_o upon_o the_o best_a inquiry_n that_o one_o can_v make_v appear_v to_o be_v true_a and_o with_o relation_n to_o this_o there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o a_o judge_n for_o in_o that_o great_a day_n every_o one_o must_v answer_v to_o god_n according_a to_o the_o talent_n that_o he_o have_v and_o all_o will_v be_v save_v according_a to_o their_o sincerity_n and_o with_o relation_n to_o that_o judgement_n there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o any_o other_o judge_n but_o god._n a_o second_o view_n of_o religion_n be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o body_n unite_v together_o and_o by_o consequence_n bring_v under_o some_o regulation_n and_o as_o in_o all_o state_n there_o be_v subaltern_a judge_n in_o who_o decision_n all_o

the_o bp._n they_o do_v not_o renounce_v in_o it_o any_o article_n of_o faith_n but_o only_o a_o bold_a curiosity_n of_o the_o schoolman_n yet_o after_o all_o it_o seem_v they_o know_v that_o this_o be_v contrary_n to_o their_o doctrine_n otherwise_o they_o will_v not_o venture_v so_o much_o upon_o a_o point_n of_o a_o old_a and_o decry_v philosophy_n ii_o in_o order_n to_o the_o state_v this_o matter_n aright_o it_o be_v necessary_a to_o give_v the_o true_a notion_n of_o the_o real_a presence_n as_o it_o be_v acknowledge_v by_o the_o reform_a we_o all_o know_v in_o what_o sense_n the_o church_n of_o rome_n understand_v it_o that_o in_o the_o sacrament_n there_o be_v no_o real_a bread_n and_o wine_n but_o that_o under_o the_o appearance_n of_o they_o we_o have_v the_o true_a substance_n of_o christ_n glorify_a body_n on_o the_o other_o hand_n the_o reform_a when_o they_o find_v the_o world_n general_o fond_a of_o this_o phrase_n they_o by_o the_o same_o spirit_n of_o compliance_n which_o our_o saviour_n and_o his_o apostle_n have_v for_o the_o jew_n and_o that_o the_o primitive_a church_n have_v perhaps_o to_o excess_n for_o the_o heathen_n retain_v the_o phrase_n of_o real_a presence_n but_o as_o they_o give_v it_o such_o a_o sense_n as_o do_v full_o demonstrate_v that_o though_o they_o retain_v a_o term_n that_o have_v for_o it_o a_o long_a prescription_n yet_o they_o quite_o change_v its_o meaning_n for_o they_o always_o show_v that_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n which_o they_o believe_v present_a be_v his_o body_n break_v and_o his_o blood_n shed_v that_o be_v to_o say_v his_o body_n not_o in_o its_o glorify_a state_n but_o as_o it_o be_v crucify_v so_o that_o the_o presence_n belong_v to_o christ_n dead_a body_n which_o be_v not_o now_o actual_o in_o be_v it_o be_v only_o his_o death_n that_o be_v to_o be_v conceive_v to_o be_v present_v to_o we_o and_o this_o be_v the_o sense_n that_o they_o always_o give_v of_o the_o real_a presence_n the_o reality_n fall_v only_o on_o that_o conveyance_n that_o be_v make_v to_o we_o in_o the_o sacrament_n by_o a_o federal_a rite_n of_o christ_n death_n as_o our_o sacrifice_n the_o learned_a answerer_n to_o the_o oxford_n discourse_n have_v so_o full_o demonstrate_v this_o from_o the_o copious_a explanation_n which_o all_o the_o reform_a give_v of_o that_o phrase_n that_o one_o will_v think_v it_o be_v not_o possible_a either_o to_o mistake_v or_o cavil_v in_o so_o clear_a a_o point_n the_o papist_n have_v general_o object_v to_o the_o reformer_n that_o they_o make_v the_o sacrament_n no_o more_o than_o a_o bare_a commemoratory_n feast_n and_o some_o few_o have_v carry_v their_o aversion_n to_o that_o gross_a presence_n which_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n have_v set_v up_o to_o another_o extreme_a to_o which_o the_o people_n by_o a_o principle_n of_o libertinism_n may_v have_v be_v too_o easy_o carry_v if_o the_o true_a dignity_n of_o the_o sacrament_n have_v not_o be_v maintain_v by_o expression_n of_o great_a majesty_n so_o find_v that_o the_o world_n be_v possess_v of_o the_o phrase_n of_o the_o real_a presence_n they_o think_v fit_a to_o preserve_v it_o but_o with_o a_o explanation_n that_o be_v liable_a to_o no_o ambiguity_n yet_o it_o seem_v our_o reformer_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o queen_n elizabeth_n reign_n have_v find_v that_o the_o phrase_n have_v more_o power_n to_o carry_v man_n to_o superstition_n than_o the_o explanation_n give_v to_o it_o have_v to_o retire_v they_o from_o it_o and_o therefore_o the_o convocation_n order_v it_o to_o be_v lay_v aside_o though_o that_o order_n be_v suppress_v out_o of_o prudence_n and_o the_o phrase_n have_v be_v ever_o since_o in_o use_n among_o we_o of_o which_o dr._n burnet_n have_v give_v we_o a_o copious_a account_n hist_o reform_v 2._o vol._n 3._o book_n iii_o the_o difference_n between_o the_o notion_n of_o the_o sacrament_n be_v a_o mere_a commemoratory_n feast_n and_o the_o real_a presence_n be_v a_o great_a as_o the_o value_n of_o the_o king_n head_n stamp_v upon_o a_o medal_n differ_v from_o the_o currant_n coin_n or_o the_o impression_n make_v by_o the_o great_a seal_n upon_o wax_n differ_v from_o that_o which_o any_o carver_n or_o graver_n may_v make_v the_o one_o be_v a_o mere_a memorial_n but_o the_o other_o have_v a_o sacred_a badge_n of_o authority_n in_o it_o the_o paschal_n lamb_n be_v not_o only_o a_o remembrance_n of_o the_o deliverance_n of_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n out_o of_o egypt_n but_o a_o continuance_n of_o the_o covenant_n that_o moses_n make_v between_o god_n and_o they_o which_o distinguish_v they_o from_o all_o the_o nation_n round_o about_o they_o as_o well_o as_o the_o first_o passover_n have_v distinguish_v they_o from_o the_o egyptian_n now_o it_o be_v a_o strange_a inference_n because_o the_o lamb_n be_v call_v the_o lord_n passeover_n that_o be_v the_o sacrifice_n upon_o the_o sprinkle_n of_o who_o blood_n the_o angel_n pass_v over_o or_o pass_v by_o the_o house_n of_o the_o israelite_n when_o he_o smite_v the_o first-born_a of_o the_o egyptian_n to_o say_v that_o there_o be_v a_o change_n of_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o lamb_n or_o because_o the_o real_a say_v of_o a_o prince_n be_v give_v by_o his_o great_a seal_n print_v on_o wax_n and_o affix_v to_o a_o parchment_n that_o therefore_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o wax_n be_v change_v so_o it_o be_v no_o less_o absurd_a to_o imagine_v that_o because_o the_o bread_n and_o the_o wine_n be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n as_o break_v and_o shed_v that_o be_v his_o death_n really_n and_o effectual_o offer_v to_o we_o as_o our_o sacrifice_n that_o therefore_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n be_v change_v and_o thus_o upon_o the_o whole_a matter_n that_o which_o be_v present_a in_o the_o sacrament_n be_v christ_n dead_a and_o since_o his_o death_n be_v transact_v above_o 1600._o year_n ago_o the_o reality_n of_o his_o presence_n can_v be_v no_o other_o than_o a_o real_a offer_n of_o his_o death_n make_v to_o we_o in_o a_o institute_v and_o federal_a symbol_n i_o have_v explain_v this_o the_o more_o full_o because_o with_o this_o all_o the_o ambiguity_n in_o the_o use_n of_o that_o common_o receive_v phrase_n fall_v off_o iv_o as_o for_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o ancient_a church_n there_o have_v be_v so_o much_o say_v in_o this_o enquiry_n that_o a_o man_n can_v hope_v to_o add_v any_o new_a discovery_n to_o what_o have_v be_v already_o find_v out_o therefore_o i_o shall_v only_o endeavour_v to_o bring_v some_o of_o the_o most_o important_a observation_n into_o a_o narrow_a compass_n and_o to_o set_v they_o in_o a_o good_a light_n and_o shall_v first_o offer_v some_o general_a presumption_n to_o show_v that_o it_o be_v not_o like_a that_o this_o be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o primitive_a time_n and_o then_o some_o positive_a proof_n of_o it_o 1._o it_o be_v no_o slight_a presumption_n against_o it_o that_o we_o do_v not_o find_v the_o father_n take_v any_o pain_n to_o answer_v the_o objection_n that_o do_v natural_o arise_v out_o of_o the_o present_a doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n these_o objection_n do_v not_o arise_v out_o of_o profound_a study_n or_o great_a learning_n but_o from_o the_o plain_n dictate_v of_o common_a sense_n which_o make_v it_o hard_o to_o say_v no_o more_o for_o we_o to_o believe_v that_o a_o body_n can_v be_v in_o more_o place_n than_o one_o at_o once_o and_o that_o it_o can_v be_v in_o a_o

which_o volume_n of_o quotation_n can_v be_v make_v show_v they_o have_v not_o then_o receive_v that_o doctrine_n which_o must_v of_o necessity_n give_v they_o occasion_n to_o write_v otherwise_o
