a_o thing_n very_o great_o to_o be_v fear_v whilst_o the_o substance_n under_o it_o be_v the_o blood_n of_o christ._n three_o many_o man_n can_v abide_v the_o taste_n nor_o smell_v of_o wine_n wherefore_o that_o that_o which_o be_v ordain_v for_o spiritual_a health_n may_v not_o prejudice_v the_o health_n of_o the_o body_n it_o be_v very_o wise_o enact_v by_o the_o church_n that_o all_o her_o faithhful_a child_n shall_v receive_v one_o kind_n alone_o to_o this_o may_v be_v add_v other_o reason_n that_o in_o some_o country_n wine_n be_v scarce_o and_o can_v be_v get_v without_o long_a and_o tedious_a journey_n but_o that_o which_o be_v most_o of_o all_o to_o the_o purpose_n the_o heresy_n of_o such_o be_v to_o be_v root_v out_o as_o declare_v whole_a christ_n to_o be_v under_o

herself_o the_o re-establishment_n of_o both_o kind_n according_a as_o it_o shall_v become_v more_o advantageous_a to_o peace_n and_o unity_n it_o be_v well_o she_o have_v keep_v to_o herself_o a_o

world_n see_v by_o her_o first_o occasion_v so_o great_a a_o breach_n by_o this_o very_a thing_n and_o to_o i_o her_o last_o reason_n that_o she_o give_v make_v it_o evident_a that_o she_o still_o maintain_v and_o justify_v her_o sacrilege_n which_o rob_v christian_n of_o their_o birthright_n to_o the_o apparent_a prejudice_n of_o peace_n yea_o to_o the_o render_v unity_n impossible_a unless_o man_n will_v part_v with_o their_o christianity_n but_o it_o be_v most_o ridiculous_a when_o he_o come_v to_o conclude_v from_o the_o concession_n of_o some_o protestant_n that_o bread_n alone_o may_v be_v administer_v in_o case_n a_o man_n make_v protestation_n of_o a_o natural_a aversion_n to_o wine_n that_o therefore_o according_a to_o the_o principle_n of_o the_o reform_a the_o matter_n in_o

of_o absolute_a necessity_n do_v thereby_o allow_v she_o any_o power_n to_o prohibit_v all_o people_n who_o be_v not_o comprehend_v in_o the_o case_n and_o be_v not_o comprehend_v look_v upon_o

and_o that_o it_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o a_o doctrine_n come_v from_o the_o apostle_n when_o it_o be_v universal_o receive_v by_o all_o christian_a church_n without_o any_o possibility_n of_o show_v

of_o this_o all_o the_o scripture_n be_v a_o evident_a proof_n for_o undoubted_o the_o apostle_n write_v not_o any_o thing_n to_o their_o church_n which_o they_o have_v not_o by_o precede_a
