thus_o a_o man_n may_v reason_v he_o that_o have_v christ_n have_v eternal_a life_n but_o he_o that_o receive_v christ_n very_o &_o true_o as_o all_o the_o wicked_a do_v in_o the_o sacrament_n by_o their_o doctrine_n have_v christ_n therefore_o the_o very_a reprobate_n even_o judas_n himself_o have_v eternal_a life_n &_o be_v save_v for_o either_o they_o must_v deny_v that_o they_o receive_v

this_o two_o thing_n first_o that_o the_o wicked_a receive_v christ_n only_o sacramental_o and_o not_o spiritual_o and_o therefore_o they_o have_v no_o benefit_n by_o he_o and_o second_o because_o they_o receive_v he_o unworthy_o therefore_o they_o receive_v their_o own_o judgement_n and_o not_o salvation_n not_o discern_v the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o though_o they_o receive_v sacramental_o and_o unworthy_o yet_o by_o their_o doctrine_n they_o receive_v u●ry_n christ_n and_o so_o by_o these_o scripture_n it_o must_v needs_o follow_v that_o

of_o the_o person_n that_o receive_v and_o also_o the_o manner_n of_o receive_v without_o any_o such_o exception_n or_o distinction_n as_o they_o devise_v and_o therefore_o i_o conclude_v that_o it_o be_v as_o impossible_a to_o make_v a_o separation_n betwixt_o christ_n and_o his_o save_a grace_n as_o to_o separate_v the_o sun_n from_o light_n fire_n from_o heat_n or_o the_o soul_n from_o

if_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n after_o the_o word_n of_o consecration_n be_v change_v into_o the_o very_a body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n 27._o last_o it_o be_v contrary_a to_o their_o own_o

be_v to_o the_o whole_a word_n of_o consecration_n together_o with_o the_o sense_n thereof_o the_o matter_n be_v the_o whole_a element_n with_o the_o signification_n thereof_o as_o for_o example_n in_o the_o eucharist_n the_o matter_n be_v the_o species_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n contain_v under_o they_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o form_n be_v for_o this_o be_v my_o

either_o they_o receive_v not_o christ_n at_o all_o because_o we_o be_v sure_o they_o receive_v the_o outward_a element_n and_o therefore_o if_o any_o thing_n be_v want_v it_o must_v needs_o be_v the_o thing_n signify_v or_o there_o be_v more_o part_n than_o these_o two_o of_o the_o sacrament_n again_o thus_o if_o the_o wicked_a receive_v christ_n in_o the_o sacrament_n and_o yet_o not_o the_o

for_o if_o their_o religion_n be_v prove_v to_o maintain_v idolatry_n they_o know_v that_o it_o must_v needs_o fall_v to_o the_o ground_n and_o therefore_o they_o devise_v all_o manner_n of_o shift_n to_o deliver_v themselves_o from_o this_o imputation_n but_o we_o on_o the_o other_o side_n confident_o affirm_v it_o and_o that_o the_o world_n may_v see_v we_o do_v it_o not_o without_o great_a reason_n we_o confirm_v our_o affirmation_n with_o this_o strong_a argument_n whosoever_o ascribe_v divine_a honour_n to_o any_o creature_n be_v a_o idolater_n but_o the_o romanist_n ascribe_v divine_a honour_n to_o many_o creature_n therefore_o they_o be_v idolater_n and_o lest_o any_o shall_v think_v this_o to_o be_v the_o error_n of_o private_a person_n and_o not_o the_o heresy_n of_o their_o religion_n i_o add_v unto_o the_o minor_a that_o all_o the_o romanist_n do_v this_o from_o the_o very_a ground_n of_o their_o faith_n and_o that_o in_o so_o do_v they_o be_v warrant_v from_o

of_o vehement_a suspicion_n if_o not_o of_o plain_a demonstration_n that_o they_o be_v guilty_a of_o the_o crime_n whereof_o we_o accuse_v they_o for_o if_o a_o thief_n stand_v at_o the_o bar_n be_v
