conformity_n to_o such_o and_o so_o many_o irregular_a pardon_n as_o they_o ought_v to_o believe_v these_o and_o many_o other_o such_o inconvenience_n be_v the_o product_n of_o multiply_v so_o many_o

that_o carry_v their_o human_a frailty_n and_o imperfection_n about_o they_o for_o by_o this_o mean_n such_o man_n will_v be_v concause_n in_o the_o work_n of_o our_o redemption_n and_o yet_o

the_o defect_n which_o we_o false_o suppose_v he_o have_v leave_v in_o it_o nothing_o be_v more_o repugnant_a to_o reason_n and_o nothing_o more_o derogate_v from_o the_o infinite_a attribute_n and_o high_a prerogative_n of_o our_o great_a redeemer_n whence_o i_o conclude_v with_o this_o dilemma_n either_o christ_n institute_v all_o thing_n necessary_a to_o salvation_n or_o he_o do_v not_o if_o not_o what_o then_o become_v of_o all_o the_o primitive_a christian_n for_o eight_o hundred_o year_n together_o after_o christ_n for_o in_o their_o time_n none_o of_o those_o new_a doctrine_n which_o

this_o will_v reflect_v upon_o the_o author_n of_o life_n and_o make_v he_o a_o deluder_n they_o must_v therefore_o acknowledge_v that_o christ_n do_v institute_n in_o his_o church_n all_o thing_n necessary_a to_o salvation_n if_o so_o then_o what_o necessity_n be_v there_o of_o so_o many_o new_a definition_n which_o only_o serve_v to_o pester_v and_o encumber_v man_n mind_n because_o forsooth_o eternal_a damnation_n must_v be_v the_o reward_n of_o they_o that_o deny_v any_o one_o of_o they_o yea_o or_o so_o much_o as_o doubt_v of_o the_o truth_n of_o any_o they_o sect_n iv_o the_o objection_n solve_v the_o first_o objection_n according_a to_o the_o principle_n of_o this_o discourse_n all_o council_n will_v be_v useless_a or_o rather_o pernicious_a for_o the_o main_a design_n of_o council_n be_v to_o decide_v such_o doubt_n as_o be_v promiscuous_o discuss_v among_o the_o multitude_n of_o who_o without_o the_o authority_n of_o a_o council_n none_o have_v power_n to_o give_v a_o final_a determination_n and_o therefore_o council_n have_v be_v always_o in_o use_n there_o be_v a_o council_n in_o the_o apostle_n time_n there_o be_v several_a council_n in_o the_o primitive_a church_n so_o that_o this_o doctrine_n whole_o swerve_v from_o reason_n and_o antiquity_n the_o first_o answer_n i_o be_o no_o enemy_n of_o council_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a conceive_v they_o of_o great_a use_n and_o sometime_o necessary_a for_o the_o right_a administration_n of_o the_o church_n for_o certain_o many_o great_a and_o good_a effect_n depend_v upon_o they_o when_o they_o take_v their_o measure_n right_a and_o true_o conceive_v how_o far_o the_o limit_n of_o their_o power_n and_o authority_n extend_v but_o if_o council_n transgress_v their_o bound_n and_o submit_v christ_n action_n to_o their_o scrutiny_n and_o therein_o presume_v to_o add_v or_o diminish_v to_o alter_v or_o change_v to_o correct_v or_o amend_v any_o of_o christ_n ordinance_n or_o institution_n and_o so_o entrench_v upon_o jus_o divinum_fw-la which_o be_v above_o their_o sphere_n and_o in_o effect_n to_o cry_v out_o in_o coelum_fw-la conscendam_fw-la similis_fw-la ero_fw-la altissimo_fw-la this_o be_v a_o pernicious_a abuse_n of_o their_o authority_n wherefore_o the_o second_o answer_n be_v that_o when_o virtue_n begin_v to_o decline_v and_o vice_n to_o abound_v when_o the_o clergy_n grow_v dissolute_a and_o the_o laity_n stubborn_a and_o refractory_a against_o their_o spiritual_a leader_n and_o pastor_n when_o the_o doctrine_n and_o practice_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o primitive_a christian_n be_v not_o full_o uphold_v in_o its_o original_a purity_n but_o begin_v to_o be_v offuscate_v and_o to_o lose_v its_o efficacy_n by_o innovation_n
as_o express_v term_n to_o confirm_v this_o i_o shall_v in_o the_o next_o assertion_n make_v it_o appear_v that_o in_o drink_v the_o chalice_n there_o be_v a_o different_a signification_n and_o a_o peculiar_a benefit_n which_o accrue_v to_o the_o receiver_n very_o distinct_a from_o all_o that_o which_o issue_v from_o the_o receive_n under_o the_o species_n of_o bread_n which_o much_o commend_v the_o great_a love_n of_o our_o dear_a redeemer_n to_o mankind_n in_o command_v we_o to_o receive_v under_o both_o species_n that_o so_o he_o may_v give_v we_o a_o entire_a and_o complete_a repast_n and_o refresh_v we_o with_o all_o those_o grace_n which_o correspond_v to_o each_o part_n thereof_o he_o do_v not_o invite_v we_o to_o this_o banquet_n of_o all_o delicious_a rarity_n with_o intention_n to_o feed_v our_o soul_n by_o piecemeal_o and_o by_o half_n but_o abundant_o pour_v forth_o the_o treasure_n of_o his_o merit_n and_o satisfaction_n so_o to_o replenish_v our_o soul_n with_o a_o full_a and_o complete_a refection_n and_o to_o make_v we_o the_o more_o sensible_a hereof_o he_o choose_v to_o suffer_v that_o ignominious_a death_n upon_o a_o cross_n and_o to_o permit_v the_o effusion_n of_o his_o most_o sacred_a blood_n though_o he_o can_v have_v wrought_v our_o redemption_n without_o either_o for_o though_o as_o pure_o god_n he_o be_v not_o capable_a of_o satisfaction_n nor_o merit_n yet_o that_o divine_a word_n have_v by_o the_o hypostatical_a union_n assume_v humane_a nature_n all_o his_o action_n become_v theandrical_a the_o least_o whereof_o be_v of_o a_o infinite_a value_n capable_a without_o death_n or_o passion_n to_o redeem_v a_o thousand_o world_n for_o though_o he_o assume_v the_o nature_n of_o man_n yet_o he_o take_v not_o upon_o he_o the_o personality_n of_o man_n there_o be_v but_o one_o suppositum_fw-la which_o be_v the_o divine_a hypostasis_fw-la of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o this_o give_v the_o poise_n and_o value_n to_o all_o his_o action_n which_o proceed_v from_o one_o person_n that_o be_v both_o god_n and_o man_n as_o they_o proceed_v from_o man_n they_o be_v capable_a of_o merit_n and_o satisfaction_n and_o as_o they_o proceed_v from_o god_n they_o be_v infinite_a in_o both_o kind_n and_o so_o never_o to_o be_v exhaust_v so_o that_o by_o one_o act_n of_o love_n or_o any_o other_o moral_a virtue_n he_o may_v efficacious_o have_v redeem_a we_o and_o yet_o he_o choose_v to_o do_v it_o by_o a_o bitter_a death_n and_o passion_n the_o better_a to_o accommodate_v himself_o to_o the_o weakness_n and_o

and_o for_o a_o more_o ample_a testimony_n hereof_o he_o have_v leave_v we_o his_o sacred_a body_n and_o blood_n to_o participate_v thereof_o and_o to_o taste_v of_o the_o fullness_n of_o his_o grace_n and_o mercy_n thereby_o still_o renew_v the_o memory_n of_o his_o passion_n who_o then_o shall_v abridge_v we_o of_o these_o favour_n by_o prescind_v the_o one_o half_a and_o mince_v the_o benefit_n bestow_v upon_o we_o by_o so_o liberal_a and_o munificent_a a_o hand_n how_o great_a be_v the_o presumption_n of_o some_o man_n who_o call_v all_o christ_n action_n in_o question_n and_o submit_v they_o to_o the_o scrutiny_n of_o their_o weak_a indagation_n they_o usurp_v his_o infallibility_n they_o alter_v and_o change_v his_o sacrament_n they_o repeal_v his_o law_n they_o

in_o you_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n say_v though_o you_o drink_v not_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o son_n of_o man_n so_o you_o eat_v his_o body_n you_o shall_v have_v life_n in_o you_o who_o shall_v we_o believe_v christ_n or_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n shall_v we_o desert_v a_o certain_a infallibility_n to_o adhere_v to_o a_o uncertain_a and_o presumptive_a one_o can_v not_o the_o all-knowing_a word_n of_o god_n who_o prudence_n and_o wisdom_n have_v no_o bound_n foresee_v all_o the_o inconvenience_n that_o can_v or_o will_v come_v to_o pass_v and_o can_v not_o his_o infinite_a providence_n

you_o will_v say_v how_o can_v they_o help_v themselves_o if_o the_o priest_n refuse_v to_o exhibit_v the_o sacrament_n to_o they_o in_o both_o kind_n which_o be_v not_o in_o their_o power_n to_o
