altogether_o fruitless_a wherefore_o you_o can_v defend_v yourself_o but_o in_o deny_v some_o of_o the_o proposition_n of_o which_o it_o consist_v but_o which_o of_o the_o three_o can_v you_o deny_v not_o the_o first_o i_o suppose_v for_o in_o fine_a if_o transubstantiation_n have_v place_n the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o eucharist_n be_v not_o bread_n nor_o wine_n but_o our_o saviour_n proper_a body_n and_o blood._n yet_o the_o natural_a faculty_n whereby_o we_o discern_v the_o substance_n from_o one_o another_o whatever_o that_o be_v and_o whatever_o name_n we_o give_v it_o this_o faculty_n tell_v we_o that_o it_o be_v not_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n but_o bread_n and_o wine_n if_o you_o doubt_v of_o this_o show_v this_o sacrament_n to_o a_o man_n endue_v only_o with_o those_o faculty_n which_o nature_n have_v give_v we_o and_o who_o have_v never_o receive_v any_o supernatural_a assistance_n to_o a_o jew_n or_o to_o a_o mahometan_a or_o pagan_n ask_v he_o what_o it_o be_v and_o you_o will_v see_v how_o little_o he_o will_v hesitate_n to_o answer_v you_o it_o be_v bread_n and_o wine_n if_o you_o still_o doubt_v of_o this_o desire_v a_o priest_n to_o mix_v a_o consecrate_a host_n among_o other_o unconsecrate_v employ_v then_o all_o your_o natural_a faculty_n to_o distinguish_v that_o which_o be_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n from_o the_o rest_n which_o be_v mere_a bread_n you_o will_v find_v all_o your_o care_n here_o to_o no_o purpose_n it_o be_v then_o certain_a that_o the_o natural_a faculty_n whereby_o we_o discern_v substance_n affirm_v plain_o the_o eucharist_n to_o be_v bread_n and_o wine_n and_o therefore_o deceive_v we_o if_o your_o belief_n be_v true_a thus_o my_o first_o proposition_n labour_v under_o no_o difficulty_n and_o the_o second_o be_v no_o less_o certain_a than_o the_o first_o for_o in_o fine_a if_o the_o natural_a faculty_n whereby_o we_o distinguish_v one_o substance_n from_o another_o may_v take_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n for_o bread_n and_o wine_n there_o will_v be_v no_o deceit_n of_o which_o it_o will_v not_o be_v capable_a there_o be_v nothing_o in_o the_o world_n more_o discernible_a and_o subject_n to_o less_o mistake_n than_o a_o human_a body_n on_o one_o hand_n and_o a_o morsel_n of_o bread_n and_o some_o drop_n of_o wine_n on_o the_o other_o i_o have_v only_o then_o to_o prove_v my_o three_o proposition_n which_o be_v in_o effect_n the_o only_a one_o which_o appear_v to_o have_v need_n yet_o be_v it_o certain_a i_o shall_v have_v little_a trouble_n to_o make_v you_o agree_v with_o i_o in_o it_o it_o say_v that_o the_o certainty_n with_o accompany_v the_o act_n of_o the_o natural_a faculty_n and_o make_v we_o distinguish_v the_o substance_n that_o this_o certitude_n i_o say_v be_v the_o foundation_n of_o the_o proof_n of_o christianity_n and_o that_o we_o can_v solid_o establish_v the_o truth_n of_o this_o holy_a religion_n if_o the_o sense_n may_v deceive_v we_o in_o the_o report_v they_o make_v of_o these_o kind_n of_o object_n i_o conceive_v nothing_o more_o certain_a than_o this_o proposition_n in_o effect_n we_o agree_v in_o our_o first_o conference_n that_o the_o proof_n of_o christian_a religion_n depend_v on_o the_o truth_n of_o certain_a fact_n which_o we_o never_o see_v but_o which_o be_v attest_v to_o we_o by_o person_n who_o testimony_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v suspect_v by_o we_o yet_o it_o will_v reasonable_o be_v so_o if_o we_o be_v not_o in_o a_o capacity_n to_o discern_v certain_o particular_a substance_n and_o this_o will_v clear_o appear_v if_o we_o run_v through_o the_o most_o important_a of_o these_o fact_n the_o most_o considerable_a and_o the_o most_o decisive_a be_v without_o difficulty_n be_v our_o saviour_n resurrection_n for_o the_o whole_a depend_v hereon_o if_o this_o fact_n be_v false_a the_o gospel_n be_v but_o a_o mere_a romance_n and_o if_o it_o be_v true_a it_o can_v be_v deny_v but_o god_n have_v declare_v himself_o hereby_o in_o the_o most_o authentic_a manner_n in_o the_o world_n in_o favour_n of_o our_o holy_a religion_n and_o the_o apostle_n be_v chief_o send_v to_o attest_v the_o truth_n of_o this_o fact_n and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o they_o so_o often_o seem_v to_o affect_v as_o it_o be_v the_o title_n of_o witness_n of_o their_o master_n resurrection_n but_o it_o be_v very_o considerable_a that_o the_o apostle_n be_v not_o present_a at_o our_o lord_n resurrection_n he_o be_v not_o in_o the_o sepulchre_n when_o these_o holy_a man_n arrive_v there_o and_o they_o find_v only_o the_o funeral_n linen_n wherewith_o his_o body_n be_v wrap_v they_o know_v not_o then_o our_o saviour_n be_v rise_v by_o see_v he_o come_v out_o of_o the_o tomb_n and_o as_o they_o behold_v lazarus_n but_o they_o gather_v it_o from_o two_o other_o fact_n of_o which_o they_o be_v certain_a have_v already_o see_v the_o first_o and_o see_v then_o actual_o the_o second_o the_o one_o be_v his_o death_n and_o the_o other_o his_o life_n they_o be_v sure_a our_o lord_n have_v expire_v on_o the_o cross_n that_o his_o side_n be_v pierce_v with_o a_o spear_n that_o they_o may_v be_v certain_a of_o his_o death_n they_o know_v that_o he_o be_v bury_v and_o consequent_o can_v not_o have_v the_o least_o suspicion_n that_o he_o be_v not_o real_o dead_a they_o see_v he_o afterward_o alive_a and_o walk_v act_v and_o speak_v whence_o they_o conclude_v in_o the_o clear_a manner_n in_o the_o world_n and_o the_o least_o liable_a to_o mistake_v that_o he_o be_v effectual_o rise_v it_o be_v then_o plain_a that_o the_o truth_n of_o christ_n resurrection_n depend_v on_o one_o hand_n in_o know_v whether_o he_o die_v and_o on_o the_o other_o whether_o he_o live_v after_o his_o death_n but_o what_o certainty_n can_v there_o be_v of_o either_o of_o these_o two_o fact_n if_o there_o be_v none_o in_o the_o judgement_n we_o make_v of_o substance_n these_o two_o fact_n be_v equal_o contest_v the_o basilidian_o deny_v heretofore_o the_o first_o and_o the_o mahometan_n deny_v it_o to_o this_o day_n both_o affirm_v it_o be_v not_o our_o saviour_n christ_n but_o simon_n the_o cyrenian_a that_o be_v crucify_v by_o the_o jew_n the_o jew_n have_v ever_o deny_v the_o second_o they_o say_v it_o be_v very_o true_a our_o saviour_n die_v on_o the_o cross_n but_o that_o he_o never_o rise_v again_o and_o that_o what_o the_o apostle_n relate_v of_o it_o be_v a_o mere_a fable_n if_o we_o may_v be_v deceive_v in_o these_o kind_n of_o object_n what_o can_v we_o oppose_v to_o either_o of_o these_o enemy_n of_o the_o truth_n how_o shall_v we_o convince_v either_o the_o basilidian_o or_o mahometan_n that_o it_o be_v jesus_n and_o not_o simon_n who_o expire_v on_o the_o cross_n how_o shall_v we_o persuade_v the_o jew_n the_o apostle_n be_v not_o deceive_v in_o imagine_v they_o see_v he_o alive_a and_o rise_v will_v not_o both_o one_o and_o the_o other_o have_v ground_n to_o tell_v we_o we_o have_v no_o certainty_n for_o what_o we_o affirm_v the_o turk_n will_v tell_v we_o that_o see_v we_o may_v be_v so_o easy_o deceive_v in_o the_o discern_a of_o substance_n it_o be_v very_o likely_a the_o jew_n take_v simon_n for_o jesus_n christ_n the_o jew_n will_v answer_v the_o error_n be_v not_o they_o but_o that_o the_o apostle_n take_v some_o spirit_n or_o live_a man_n for_o their_o master_n and_o as_o to_o we_o we_o have_v nothing_o convince_a to_o oppose_v against_o one_o or_o the_o other_o and_o here_o sir_n let_v i_o entreat_v you_o to_o consider_v the_o imprudence_n of_o bellarmine_n
