papist_n far_a object_n many_o damnable_a heresy_n may_v arise_v which_o the_o father_n of_o that_o council_n be_v no_o prophet_n can_v not_o foresee_v i_o grant_v it_o what_o then_o why_o than_o it_o will_v be_v necessary_a to_o suppress_v they_o i_o grant_v this_o also_o and_o earnest_o desire_v it_o suppress_v whatever_o be_v new_o set_v up_o but_o set_v up_o no_o more_o new_a as_o necessary_a to_o be_v believe_v this_o be_v the_o point_n we_o still_o hold_v to_o man_n be_v save_v and_o may_v still_o be_v save_v without_o believe_v more_o till_o they_o can_v confute_v i_o in_o this_o their_o talk_n be_v vain_a and_o without_o weight_n and_o thus_o all_o both_o man_n and_o woman_n may_v be_v able_a to_o stop_v the_o mouth_n of_o papist_n with_o their_o own_o argument_n when_o they_o cry_v unto_o you_o in_o their_o absurd_a wont_a manner_n hear_v the_o church_n you_o must_v believe_v as_o the_o church_n believe_v answer_v yes_o you_o do_v believe_v as_o the_o church_n believe_v as_o the_o church_n and_o council_n of_o nice_a believe_v you_o hold_v every_o article_n of_o their_o creed_n it_o be_v you_o papist_n who_o believe_v not_o as_o the_o church_n and_o council_n of_o nice_a believe_v you_o have_v alter_v the_o faith_n and_o have_v build_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o wood_n hay_o stubble_n upon_o the_o old_a foundation_n which_o can_v never_o abide_v the_o trial_n of_o scripture_n from_o whence_o it_o be_v evident_a you_o be_v the_o heretic_n for_o you_o have_v wilful_o take_v up_o to_o yourselves_o several_a opinion_n contrary_a to_o scripture_n which_o you_o profess_v to_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o you_o be_v according_a to_o st._n paul_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d condemn_v of_o yourselves_o for_o you_o acknowledge_v

several_a opinion_n and_o dispute_n in_o a_o nation_n about_o matter_n in_o religion_n the_o supreme_a magistrate_n and_o church-governor_n may_v in_o prudence_n think_v it_o necessary_a for_o the_o peace_n of_o church_n and_o state_n to_o require_v all_o that_o be_v to_o enter_v into_o place_n of_o trust_n in_o church_n or_o state_n to_o subscribe_v to_o such_o article_n as_o they_o conceive_v most_o conduce_v thereto_o and_o he_o that_o refuse_v they_o may_v refuse_v he_o no_o man_n be_v injure_v by_o this_o either_o in_o his_o salvation_n or_o life_n or_o liberty_n or_o estate_n he_o be_v as_o free_a as_o he_o be_v before_o i_o hold_v only_o to_o this_o that_o no_o man_n be_v require_v to_o believe_v any_o thing_n as_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n but_o what_o be_v plain_o contain_v in_o scripture_n a_o tract_n concern_v the_o holy_a sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n which_o i_o promise_v in_o the_o preface_n good_a reader_n you_o must_v first_o understand_v what_o it_o be_v to_o take_v a_o say_n in_o a_o literal_a or_o a_o figurative_a sense_n for_o example_n if_o a_o man_n take_v a_o stick_n in_o his_o hand_n and_o say_v this_o be_v my_o staff_n you_o take_v this_o in_o a_o literal_a sense_n that_o be_v you_o take_v it_o according_a to_o the_o bare_a word_n and_o usual_a meaning_n of_o they_o that_o this_o staff_n be_v he_o he_o be_v the_o owner_n of_o it_o but_o if_o he_o say_v this_o be_v my_o horse_n you_o see_v that_o stick_n be_v not_o a_o real_a horse_n therefore_o you_o conceive_v he_o mean_v not_o a_o real_a horse_n but_o that_o as_o a_o horse_n be_v use_v for_o a_o help_n to_o carry_v a_o man_n on_o his_o way_n so_o this_o stick_n help_v to_o support_v his_o body_n and_o carry_v he_o on_o his_o way_n this_o we_o call_v a_o figurative_a sense_n that_o be_v signify_v something_o otherwise_o than_o the_o bare_a word_n usual_o express_v for_o the_o word_n horse_n be_v not_o here_o take_v as_o usual_o for_o a_o real_a horse_n but_o for_o another_o thing_n use_v as_o a_o horse_n now_o all_o man_n that_o read_v the_o scripture_n find_v it_o necessary_a to_o take_v many_o thing_n speak_v there_o in_o a_o figurative_a sense_n for_o it_o will_v be_v contrary_a to_o all_o reason_n and_o religion_n to_o take_v they_o in_o a_o literal_a sense_n as_o when_o our_o saviour_n say_v i_o be_o the_o door_n no_o man_n conceive_v christ_n to_o be_v a_o real_a door_n and_o therefore_o he_o take_v it_o in_o a_o figurative_a sense_n by_o way_n of_o comparison_n to_o a_o door_n that_o as_o a_o door_n be_v the_o entrance_n into_o a_o house_n so_o christ_n tell_v we_o he_o be_v the_o door_n the_o entrance_n for_o we_o into_o heaven_n no_o man_n can_v enter_v there_o but_o by_o he_o and_o his_o merit_n so_o christ_n say_v i_o be_o the_o bread_n that_o come_v down_o from_o heaven_n no_o man_n take_v this_o in_o a_o literal_a sense_n according_a to_o the_o usual_a meaning_n of_o the_o word_n bread_n for_o real_a bread_n but_o by_o way_n of_o comparison_n as_o bread_n nourish_v our_o body_n so_o christ_n be_v come_v down_o from_o heaven_n to_o nourish_v our_o soul_n again_o christ_n take_v bread_n in_o his_o hand_n say_v this_o be_v my_o body_n we_o know_v that_o bread_n be_v not_o christ_n real_a body_n we_o therefore_o conceive_v christ_n mean_v a_o comparison_n that_o as_o this_o bread_n be_v break_v and_o bruise_v under_o your_o tooth_n and_o so_o pass_v down_o into_o your_o breast_n to_o nourish_v your_o body_n so_o my_o body_n shall_v be_v break_v bruise_a and_o kill_v that_o by_o my_o suffering_n and_o death_n your_o soul_n may_v be_v nourish_v to_o eternal_a life_n in_o all_o reason_n we_o must_v conclude_v thus_o unless_o christ_n have_v say_v something_o more_o to_o make_v we_o think_v otherwise_o for_o we_o have_v no_o other_o way_n to_o understand_v any_o thing_n christ_n speak_v but_o according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o reason_n which_o god_n have_v give_v we_o to_o speak_v and_o understand_v all_o thing_n but_o the_o papist_n who_o understand_v the_o former_a word_n i_o be_o the_o bread_n in_o a_o figurative_a sense_n mere_o because_o their_o sense_n and_o reason_n tell_v they_o that_o christ_n be_v not_o real_a bread_n yet_o will_v needs_o understand_v these_o word_n this_o be_v my_o body_n in_o a_o literal_a sense_n that_o the_o bread_n be_v make_v christ_n real_a substantial_a body_n though_o their_o sense_n and_o reason_n tell_v they_o it_o be_v still_o real_a bread_n for_o which_o i_o desire_v they_o to_o give_v i_o a_o satisfy_a reason_n for_o in_o all_o appearance_n both_o affirmation_n be_v of_o the_o same_o nature_n certain_o then_o they_o must_v show_v we_o some_o great_a motive_n that_o induce_v they_o to_o take_v the_o two_o form_n of_o speech_n so_o very_o different_o be_v in_o themselves_o both_o alike_o first_o from_o reason_n no_o motive_n can_v possible_o be_v find_v for_o by_o reason_n it_o be_v equal_o hard_a to_o understand_v christ_n to_o be_v bread_n as_o bread_n to_o be_v christ._n second_o if_o according_a to_o religion_n we_o captivate_v our_o reason_n in_o obedience_n to_o faith_n it_o be_v as_o easy_a to_o believe_v bread_n to_o be_v christ_n as_o christ_n to_o be_v bread_n and_o it_o be_v very_o impertinent_a here_o to_o talk_v of_o god_n infinite_a power_n how_o that_o can_v effect_v thing_n impossible_a to_o reason_n for_o we_o most_o ready_o grant_v it_o and_o therefore_o the_o papist_n do_v as_o false_o as_o foolish_o accuse_v we_o of_o unbelief_n and_o that_o we_o be_v whole_o guide_v by_o our_o reason_n and_o deny_v the_o bread_n to_o be_v christ_n body_n because_o our_o reason_n can_v comprehend_v it_o do_v not_o we_o believe_v god_n create_v all_o the_o world_n of_o nothing_o three_o person_n to_o be_v one_o god_n god_n and_o man_n to_o be_v one_o person_n christ_n sure_o these_o be_v hard_a to_o believe_v than_o that_o god_n can_v change_v bread_n into_o his_o body_n and_o we_o will_v more_o ready_o believe_v this_o than_o the_o former_a high_a mystery_n have_v we_o this_o miraculous_a change_n as_o plain_o set_v forth_o in_o scripture_n as_o those_o mystery_n great_a and_o hard_a to_o be_v believe_v let_v they_o then_o plain_o show_v we_o in_o scripture_n that_o christ_n change_v the_o bread_n into_o his_o body_n and_o we_o shall_v as_o ready_o believe_v it_o as_o they_o but_o they_o bare_o tell_v we_o christ_n say_v of_o the_o bread_n this_o be_v my_o body_n and_o we_o again_o tell_v they_o christ_n say_v i_o be_o the_o bread_n they_o require_v we_o to_o believe_v the_o first_o to_o be_v a_o miraculous_a change_n and_o we_o likewise_o require_v they_o to_o believe_v the_o second_o to_o be_v as_o miraculous_a a_o change_n they_o refuse_v the_o second_o so_o we_o refuse_v the_o first_o why_o not_o this_o be_v
the_o thing_n we_o still_o urge_v to_o ●hew_v we_o some_o compel_a motive_n why_o they_o make_v such_o a_o infinite_a difference_n between_o these_o two_o say_n when_o the_o form_n of_o speech_n be_v both_o the_o same_o yet_o the_o one_o must_v infer_v a_o mighty_a miracle_n the_o other_o none_o at_o all_o but_o as_o familiar_a a_o figure_n as_o may_v be_v have_v our_o saviour_n take_v into_o his_o hand_n a_o picture_n of_o a_o face_n and_o say_v this_o be_v my_o face_n what_o man_n can_v imagine_v he_o intend_v this_o picture_n be_v change_v into_o my_o real_a substantial_a face_n but_o rather_o undoubted_o conceive_v he_o mean_v this_o represent_v my_o face_n and_o just_o so_o when_o he_o take_v bread_n into_o his_o hand_n and_o say_v this_o be_v my_o body_n who_o can_v imagine_v but_o he_o mean_v this_o represent_v my_o body_n and_o therefore_o as_o i_o say_v it_o require_v some_o urgent_a reason_n to_o make_v we_o think_v otherwise_o but_o in_o stead_n of_o reason_n they_o return_v we_o rail_a that_o we_o be_v faithless_a heretic_n and_o we_o reply_v they_o be_v foolish_a pratler_n but_o now_o to_o show_v how_o willing_a we_o be_v to_o believe_v christ_n in_o this_o or_o any_o thing_n else_o be_v it_o ever_o so_o much_o against_o our_o reason_n we_o will_v narrow_o examine_v and_o observe_v all_o circumstance_n in_o the_o institution_n of_o this_o bless_a sacrament_n and_o see_v if_o we_o can_v find_v any_o considerable_a motive_n to_o incline_v we_o to_o this_o miraculous_a change_n of_o transubstantiate_a bread_n into_o christ_n body_n in_o the_o first_o place_n let_v we_o reflect_v on_o the_o original_a type_n of_o this_o sacrament_n which_o be_v the_o sacrifice_n of_o melchisedek_n king_n of_o salem_n when_o he_o meet_v abraham_n come_v from_o the_o victory_n over_o the_o heathen_a king_n mention_v gen._n 14._o 18._o and_o melchisedek_n king_n of_o salem_n bring_v forth_o bread_n and_o wine_n this_o melchisedek_n be_v a_o priest_n of_o the_o most_o high_a god_n and_o heb._n 7._o the_o apostle_n at_o large_a declare_v that_o christ_n be_v a_o priest_n of_o the_o same_o order_n with_o melchisedek_n in_o all_o thing_n typify_v by_o melchisedek_n now_o what_o sacrifice_n do_v melchisedek_n offer_v up_o unto_o the_o most_o high_a god_n bread_n and_o wine_n real_a substantial_a bread_n and_o wine_n doubtless_o then_o from_o hence_o we_o shall_v conclude_v that_o christ_n be_v a_o priest_n of_o the_o same_o order_n with_o melchisedek_n shall_v offer_v the_o same_o sacrifice_n with_o he_o real_a substantial_a bread_n and_o wine_n sure_o this_o make_v against_o the_o papist_n transubstantiation_n second_o let_v we_o consider_v the_o jewish_a sacrament_n which_o be_v also_o type_n of_o we_o the_o jew_n have_v in_o their_o church_n two_o sacrament_n circumcision_n and_o the_o paschal_n lamb_n and_o these_o be_v as_o i_o say_v type_n of_o what_o be_v to_o follow_v in_o christ_n who_o abolish_n that_o church_n and_o sacrament_n do_v introduce_v two_o other_o sacrament_n in_o his_o church_n baptism_n and_o the_o holy_a supper_n as_o circumcision_n be_v the_o initiate_a sacrament_n to_o the_o jew_n so_o baptism_n be_v to_o we_o and_o as_o the_o paschal_n lamb_n be_v the_o commemorate_n sacrament_n to_o the_o jew_n of_o their_o deliverance_n from_o their_o bondage_n in_o egypt_n so_o the_o holy_a supper_n be_v our_o commemorate_n sacrament_n of_o our_o deliverance_n from_o the_o bondage_n of_o hell_n you_o see_v then_o that_o thus_o far_o our_o sacrament_n resemble_v those_o of_o the_o jew_n be_v there_o any_o transubstantiation_n in_o the_o jewish_a sacrament_n no_o we_o can_v then_o from_o the_o jewish_a sacrament_n find_v the_o least_o hint_n of_o transubstantiation_n in_o we_o three_o let_v u●_n compare_v our_o two_o sacrament_n one_o to_o the_o other_o be_v there_o any_o transubstantiation_n or_o any_o real_a alteration_n in_o the_o element_n of_o water_n in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o baptism_n no_o the_o water_n still_o remain_v in_o substance_n water_n we_o can_v then_o from_o that_o sacrament_n find_v any_o ground_n for_o transubstantiation_n in_o this_o four_o let_v we_o consider_v this_o sacrament_n in_o itself_o what_o be_v our_o saviour_n intent_n in_o the_o institution_n of_o it_o which_o certain_o shall_v be_v a_o great_a and_o the_o best_a guide_n to_o we_o in_o this_o business_n it_o be_v evident_a by_o several_a scripture_n that_o it_o be_v institute_v to_o commemorate_v our_o saviour_n passion_n and_o death_n christ_n express_o declare_v it_o so_o at_o the_o institution_n do_v this_o in_o remembrance_n of_o i_o and_o st._n paul_n 1_o cor._n xi_o 26._o express_o declare_v it_o so_o as_o often_o as_o you_o eat_v this_o bread_n and_o drink_v this_o cup_n you_o do_v show_v the_o lord_n death_n till_o he_o come_v now_o let_v we_o see_v if_o transubstantiation_n do_v any_o way_n help_v towards_o a_o full_a set_n forth_o the_o lord_n death_n let_v the_o papist_n show_v this_o if_o they_o can_v it_o will_v somewhat_o incline_v we_o to_o their_o transubstantiation_n for_o my_o part_n i_o profess_v sincere_o it_o appear_v to_o i_o quite_o otherwise_o for_o in_o their_o transubstantiated_a sacrament_n there_o be_v no_o representation_n of_o our_o saviour_n suffer_v nor_o of_o his_o bloodshedding_a and_o death_n for_o they_o affirm_v his_o body_n to_o be_v there_o a_o spiritual_a body_n impassable_a no_o break_n of_o it_o no_o division_n of_o the_o blood_n from_o his_o fle●h_n for_o they_o believe_v christ_n body_n to_o be_v entire_o flesh_n bones_o and_o blood_n the_o whole_a body_n under_o both_o form_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n so_o say_v their_o great_a doctor_n aquinas_n in_o the_o three_o part_n of_o his_o sum_n quest._n 76._o art_n 2._o and_o there_o prove_v it_o in_o his_o school-way_n so_o that_o in_o their_o sacrament_n there_o be_v nothing_o represent_v christ_n suffering_n nor_o bloodshedding_a nor_o death_n for_o first_o there_o be_v no_o real_a substance_n break_v for_o the_o substance_n of_o bread_n say_v they_o be_v go_v and_o it_o be_v now_o christ_n body_n which_o be_v now_o impassable_a can_v be_v break_v the_o priest_n seem_v to_o break_v a_o wafer_n but_o it_o be_v no_o real_a wafer_n it_o be_v christ_n body_n that_o be_v not_o break_v neither_o so_o in_o truth_n and_o reality_n nothing_o be_v break_v it_o be_v break_v and_o it_o be_v not_o break_v and_o then_o for_o the_o chalice_n there_o be_v no_o wine_n nor_o christ_n blood_n apart_o it_o be_v christ_n body_n entire_a as_o they_o believe_v so_o you_o drink_v the_o same_o both_o body_n and_o blood_n together_o which_o before_o you_o have_v eat_v and_o you_o eat_v before_o the_o very_a same_o which_o you_o afterward_o drink_v so_o that_o eat_v and_o drink_v be_v here_o one_o and_o the_o same_o rare_a school-device_n let_v we_o return_v to_o our_o own_o sacrament_n there_o be_v real_a bread_n and_o wine_n the_o bread_n be_v real_o break_v by_o the_o priest_n as_o it_o be_v by_o christ_n it_o be_v also_o bruise_v under_o the_o tooth_n of_o the_o eater_n so_o the_o wine_n be_v receive_v a_o part_n from_o the_o bread_n both_o in_o a_o figure_n represent_v unto_o we_o christ_n suffering_n bloodshedding_a and_o death_n and_o bury_v in_o our_o breast_n as_o in_o the_o sepulchre_n and_o thus_o you_o see_v how_o much_o better_o our_o sacrament_n of_o real_a bread_n and_o wine_n show_v our_o saviour_n suffering_n and_o death_n than_o their_o transubstantiated_a bread_n and_o wine_n now_o consider_v how_o many_o figurative_a speech_n there_o be_v in_o the_o gospel_n a_o man_n can_v but_o wonder_v how_o this_o transubstantiation_n with_o accident_n only_o of_o bread_n and_o wine_n hang_v in_o
