lord_n have_v a_o true_a humane_a body_n and_o yet_o that_o the_o same_o body_n maybe_o in_o divers_a place_n at_o one_o &_o thesame_a time_n forasmuch_o therefore_o as_o they_o believe_v and_o that_o most_o strong_o that_o christ_n be_v true_a man_n the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o raise_v from_o the_o dead_a and_o all_o other_o thing_n which_o the_o scripture_n hold_v forth_o as_o necessary_a to_o be_v believe_v what_o reason_n have_v thou_o to_o deny_v that_o they_o may_v be_v save_v even_o in_o this_o their_o error_n it_o be_v clear_a therefore_o that_o as_o well_o those_o which_o hold_v christ_n body_n to_o be_v in_o the_o sacramental_a bread_n as_o those_o which_o deny_v the_o same_o although_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o one_o side_n err_v yet_o be_v they_o both_o if_o otherwise_o conscionable_a observer_n of_o our_o lord_n command_v in_o the_o way_n of_o salvation_n in_o which_o regard_n they_o be_v bind_v to_o love_n and_o reverence_v one_o another_o as_o brethren_n the_o servant_n of_o god_n and_o member_n of_o christ_n if_o they_o shall_v mutual_o vex_v one_o another_o with_o revile_n reproach_n &_o curse_n if_o they_o shall_v go_v on_o to_o

aside_o all_o hatred_n and_o rash_a judgement_n they_o will_v strive_v to_o go_v beyond_o one_o another_o in_o office_n of_o love_n let_v we_o abandon_v bad_a language_n scoff_v contempt_n so_o will_v it_o certain_o fall_v out_o that_o such_o as_o err_v shall_v at_o the_o length_n be_v bring_v to_o acknowledge_v the_o truth_n if_o we_o shall_v but_o once_o be_v unite_v in_o heart_n and_o

controversy_n about_o the_o corporal_a pre-presence_n in_o the_o sacramental_a bread_n it_o will_v be_v easy_a for_o any_o man_n in_o like_a manner_n to_o judge_n of_o what_o ever_o other_o point_n shall_v come_v into_o controversy_n for_o concern_v what_o ever_o error_n shall_v be_v question_v we_o must_v inquire_v whether_o or_o no_o the_o person_n so_o err_a may_v not_o believe_v all_o such_o thing_n as_o to_o the_o belief_n whereof_o salvation_n be_v promise_v that_o in_o case_n he_o may_v we_o may_v persuade_v ourselves_o that_o he_o err_v not_o in_o a_o point_n necessary_a to_o be_v

and_o again_o what_o assurance_n he_o have_v that_o such_o a_o error_n can_v stand_v with_o salvation_n do_v but_o consider_v when_o as_o our_o lord_n say_v come_v unto_o i_o all_o you_o that_o

to_o question_v but_o that_o such_o a_o person_n may_v be_v just_o condemn_v and_o cast_v out_o of_o the_o society_n of_o the_o godly_a and_o that_o not_o only_o if_o be_v admonish_v he_o shall_v go_v

commit_v almost_o incurable_a and_o heed_n must_v be_v take_v that_o the_o heretic_n be_v not_o declare_v to_o hold_v or_o prohibit_v to_o teach_v any_o other_o thing_n than_o what_o he_o hold_v and_o teach_v for_o the_o avoid_n of_o such_o inconvenience_n as_o we_o have_v before_o recount_v one_o thing_n there_o be_v which_o very_o i_o can_v never_o understand_v but_o to_o be_v altogether_o void_a of_o reason_n that_o he_o who_o be_v think_v to_o have_v teach_v something_o false_a and_o impious_a shall_v be_v force_v to_o recant_v which_o if_o he_o do_v he_o shall_v not_o be_v punish_v to_o

out_o of_o man_n mind_n have_v we_o no_o reason_n to_o suspect_v that_o such_o a_o recantation_n be_v rather_o for_o fear_v of_o punishment_n then_o from_o the_o heart_n will_v there_o not_o rather_o much_o heart-burn_n by_o this_o mean_n arise_v if_o the_o magistrate_n shall_v seem_v not_o only_o to_o kill_v the_o body_n but_o to_o plot_v the_o ruin_n of_o the_o soul_n be_v we_o indeed_o so_o

some_o may_v say_v this_o be_v not_o that_o which_o we_o desire_v to_o force_v man_n to_o any_o kind_n of_o recantation_n but_o that_o a_o heretic_n may_v acknowledge_v his_o error_n not_o so_o much_o with_o his_o mouth_n as_o with_o his_o heart_n this_o be_v excellent_a indeed_o if_o thou_o can_v bring_v he_o to_o it_o but_o what_o work_n be_v there_o for_o threat_n or_o blandishment_n in_o this_o case_n these_o have_v some_o power_n indeed_o to_o prevail_v with_o the_o will_n but_o thy_o business_n be_v with_o the_o understanding_n it_o be_v change_v neither_o by_o threat_n nor_o flattery_n or_o allurement_n these_o can_v cause_v that_o what_o former_o seem_v true_a shall_v now_o seem_v false_a though_o the_o party_n may_v very_o much_o desire_n to_o change_v his_o judgement_n which_o if_o it_o seem_v a_o new_a and_o wonderful_a thing_n to_o thou_o i_o shall_v not_o need_v many_o argument_n to_o convince_v thou_o of_o the_o truth_n thereof_o you_o suppose_v that_o a_o man_n may_v change_v his_o judgement_n when_o he_o will_v without_o any_o new_a reason_n to_o persuade_v he_o to_o think_v otherwise_o i_o deny_v that_o he_o can_v so_o do_v make_v you_o therefore_o a_o experiment_n upon_o yourself_o and_o see_v if_o you_o can_v for_o the_o least_o space_n of_o time_n draw_v yourself_o to_o think_v otherwise_o then_o you_o do_v in_o the_o question_n between_o we_o so_o as_o to_o make_v yourself_o believe_v as_o i_o do_v that_o a_o man_n can_v change_v his_o judgement_n when_o he_o please_v without_o question_n you_o shall_v find_v that_o you_o can_v do_v it_o but_o take_v heed_n you_o mistake_v not_o a_o imagination_n for_o a_o persuasion_n for_o nothing_o hinder_v but_o that_o thou_o may_v imagine_v what_o thou_o will_v i_o pray_v thou_o likewise_o to_o consider_v again_o that_o in_o case_n thou_o fear_v any_o thing_n as_o for_o example_n lest_o some_o business_n may_v not_o have_v a_o good_a issue_n lest_o something_o shall_v come_v to_o pass_v much_o against_o thy_o mind_n so_o that_o thou_o can_v not_o sleep_v for_o the_o trouble_n thereof_o thou_o need_v but_o change_v thy_o opinion_n concern_v such_o a_o thing_n so_o as_o to_o hope_v that_o all_o will_v be_v well_o and_o thy_o trouble_n shall_v be_v at_o a_o end_n o_o most_o easy_a and_o ready_a medicine_n to_o take_v away_o the_o great_a part_n of_o that_o trouble_n of_o mind_n which_o man_n sustain_v in_o this_o life_n o_o short_a philosophy_n if_o whatsoever_o evil_a a_o man_n shall_v fear_v may_v betide_v he_o he_o may_v believe_v if_o he_o will_v that_o it_o will_v not_o come_v to_o pass_v whatsoever_o molest_v a_o man_n because_o he_o take_v it_o to_o be_v evil_a when_o as_o ofttimes_o there_o be_v no_o evil_a in_o such_o a_o thing_n he_o may_v persuade_v himself_o when_o he_o please_v that_o it_o be_v not_o evil_a but_o experience_n show_v that_o none_o of_o these_o thing_n can_v be_v do_v wherefore_o if_o a_o heretic_n can_v though_o he_o will_v cast_v away_o his_o error_n unless_o reason_n compel_v he_o why_o trouble_v you_o the_o poor_a wretch_n to_o make_v he_o lie_v and_o so_o to_o offend_v god_n yet_o more_o and_o more_o very_o it_o can_v be_v deny_v but_o this_o be_v the_o devil_n invention_n whereby_o he_o may_v compel_v the_o servant_n of_o god_n for_o fear_v of_o punishment_n to_o renounce_v christ_n so_o that_o i_o wonder_v some_o man_n can_v not_o perceive_v as_o much_o though_o otherwise_o wise_a enough_o how_o much_o better_o will_v it_o be_v in_o case_n there_o be_v no_o question_n but_o that_o a_o man_n may_v be_v put_v to_o death_n for_o matter_n of_o religion_n to_o deal_v with_o he_o according_a to_o law_n whether_o he_o recant_v or_o recant_v not_o neither_o to_o invite_v he_o so_o much_o as_o by_o a_o word_n to_o a_o recantation_n any_o otherwise_o then_o that_o he_o may_v be_v win_v to_o the_o truth_n and_o his_o soul_n save_v which_o also_o be_v to_o be_v do_v not_o by_o threaten_n allurement_n or_o through_o

of_o any_o man_n tongue_n or_o pen._n if_o there_o be_v controversy_n in_o religion_n let_v they_o contend_v on_o both_o side_n with_o scripture_n and_o argument_n but_o let_v the_o magistrate_n
