be_v contain_v whole_o in_o that_o which_o be_v less_o and_o that_o not_o once_o only_o but_o as_o many_o time_n over_o as_o there_o be_v point_n in_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n that_o the_o same_o thing_n at_o the_o same_o time_n shall_v be_v whole_o above_o itself_o and_o whole_o below_o itself_o within_o itself_o and_o without_o itself_o on_o the_o right_a hand_n and_o on_o the_o left_a hand_n and_o round_o about_o itself_o that_o the_o same_o thing_n at_o the_o same_o time_n shall_v move_v to_o and_o from_o itself_o and_o lie_v still_o or_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v carry_v from_o one_o place_n to_o another_o through_o the_o middle_a space_n and_o yet_o not_o move_v that_o to_o be_v one_o shall_v be_v to_o be_v undivided_a from_o itself_o and_o yet_o that_o one_o and_o the_o same_o thing_n shall_v be_v divide_v from_o itself_o that_o a_o finite_a thing_n may_v be_v in_o all_o place_n at_o once_o that_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o certainty_n in_o our_o sense_n and_o yet_o that_o we_o shall_v know_v some_o thing_n certain_o and_o know_v nothing_o corporal_n but_o by_o our_o sense_n that_o that_o which_o be_v and_o be_v long_o ago_o shall_v now_o begin_v to_o be_v that_o the_o same_o thing_n shall_v be_v before_o and_o after_o itself_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v possible_a that_o the_o same_o man_n for_o example_n you_o or_o i_o may_v at_o the_o same_o time_n be_v awake_a at_o london_n and_o not_o awake_v but_o asleep_a at_o rome_n there_o run_v or_o walk_v here_o not_o run_v or_o walk_v but_o stand_v still_o sit_z or_o liedown_o there_o study_n or_o write_v here_o do_v nothing_o but_o dine_v or_o sup_v there_o speak_v here_o be_v silent_a that_o he_o may_v in_o one_o place_n freeze_v with_o cold_a in_o another_o bourn_n with_o heat_n that_o he_o may_v be_v drink_v in_o one_o place_n sober_a in_o another_o valiant_a in_o one_o place_n a_o coward_n in_o another_o a_o thief_n in_o one_o place_n and_o honest_a in_o another_o that_o he_o may_v be_v a_o

may_v go_v to_o hell_n from_o rome_n and_o to_o heaven_n from_o fngland_n that_o the_o body_n and_o soul_n of_o christ_n shall_v cease_v to_o be_v where_o it_o be_v and_o yet_o not_o go_v to_o another_o place_n nor_o be_v destroy_v these_o be_v some_o of_o those_o monstrous_a contradiction_n which_o be_v involve_v in_o this_o doctrine_n of_o transubstantiation_n i_o shall_v only_o observe_v these_o few_o thing_n more_o about_o this_o matter_n and_o then_o conclude_v this_o point_n 1._o that_o you_o ought_v not_o for_o the_o avoid_n of_o these_o difficulty_n to_o content_v yourselves_o to_o believe_v in_o general_a that_o somehow_n or_o other_o you_o do_v know_v how_o this_o sacrament_n be_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n for_o your_o church_n have_v determine_v the_o matter_n that_o it_o be_v the_o very_a body_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o virgin_n mary_n and_o be_v afterward_o crucify_a and_o that_o there_o remain_v no_o substance_n of_o bread_n but_o only_o this_o body_n of_o christ_n after_o consecration_n 2._o i_o will_v observe_v that_o none_o of_o these_o difficulty_n be_v take_v off_o by_o consider_v christ_n body_n as_o glorify_v for_o beside_o that_o if_o it_o be_v a_o body_n still_o it_o must_v have_v the_o property_n of_o a_o body_n this_o sacrament_n be_v institute_v while_o our_o saviour_n live_v in_o the_o world_n and_o have_v just_o such_o a_o body_n as_o other_o man_n of_o the_o same_o bigness_n and_o all_o other_o quality_n as_o to_o his_o body_n the_o same_o and_o therefore_o in_o interpret_n these_o word_n this_o be_v my_o body_n all_o the_o difficlty_n be_v still_o the_o same_o as_o if_o he_o be_v now_o live_v or_o as_o they_o will_v be_v be_v they_o speak_v of_o the_o body_n of_o any_o other_o man._n 3._o i_o desire_v that_o you_o will_v consider_v that_o you_o may_v be_v sure_a we_o do_v not_o mis-understand_a nor_o misrepresent_v your_o opinion_n because_o these_o absurdity_n be_v what_o your_o own_o divine_n take_v notice_n of_o as_o well_o as_o we_o and_o do_v not_o pretend_v to_o be_v able_a to_o give_v any_o direct_a answer_n to_o they_o 4._o i_o will_v observe_v that_o though_o these_o contradiction_n be_v so_o apparent_a and_o stare_a that_o no_o body_n that_o hear_v of_o this_o doctrine_n can_v well_o miss_v of_o they_o yet_o they_o be_v new_a and_o none_o of_o they_o ever_o hear_v of_o in_o the_o church_n for_o many_o hundred_o year_n from_o whence_o we_o infer_v that_o the_o doctrine_n itself_o be_v as_o little_o hear_v of_o 5._o we_o do_v not_o find_v that_o any_o christian_n for_o many_o hundred_o year_n ever_o deny_v or_o dispute_v the_o truth_n of_o this_o doctrine_n from_o whence_o we_o can_v but_o conclude_v that_o it_o be_v then_o unknown_a in_o the_o church_n for_o it_o must_v have_v have_v strange_a good_a fortune_n to_o escape_v without_o any_o contradiction_n when_o all_o the_o article_n of_o the_o creed_n have_v be_v dispute_v round_o 6._o as_o this_o be_v not_o dispute_v or_o deny_v by_o any_o christian_n so_o neither_o be_v it_o object_v against_o the_o christian_a religion_n by_o any_o heathen_a not_o even_o by_o julian_n himself_o who_o as_o be_v a_o apostate_n must_v have_v know_v all_o the_o secret_n of_o our_o religion_n whereas_o in_o truth_n there_o have_v be_v ten_o time_n more_o weight_n in_o this_o than_o in_o all_o the_o objection_n together_o which_o they_o make_v use_v of_o against_o christianity_n 7._o there_o be_v several_a thing_n in_o the_o primitive_a church_n inconsistent_a with_o the_o belief_n of_o this_o doctrine_n in_o particular_a that_o of_o mix_v water_n with_o the_o wine_n the_o water_n to_o represent_v the_o people_n as_o the_o wine_n represent_v the_o blood_n of_o christ_n of_o which_o st._n cyprian_n give_v we_o a_o full_a account_n 63._o vid._n cypr._n epist_n 63._o 8._o i_o will_v observe_v that_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n can_v assign_v no_o peculiar_a necessity_n or_o usefulness_n of_o this_o sacrament_n above_o other_o that_o shall_v give_v a_o probable_a reason_n of_o the_o mighty_a difference_n betwixt_o this_o and_o other_o and_o of_o such_o a_o strange_a wonderful_a dispensation_n as_o the_o eat_a our_o bless_a saviour_n himself_o nay_o with_o they_o both_o baplism_n and_o confession_n be_v esteem_v much_o more_o necessary_a and_o the_o omission_n of_o they_o more_o dangerous_a than_o the_o omission_n of_o this_o sacrament_n 9_o to_o conclude_v this_o whole_a matter_n i_o think_v i_o have_v sufficient_o show_v that_o this_o doctrine_n have_v no_o foundation_n in_o scripture_n i_o will_v have_v consider_v at_o large_a the_o sense_n of_o the_o primitive_a church_n in_o it_o and_o i_o do_v not_o question_v but_o to_o have_v be_v able_a very_o clear_o to_o make_v out_o that_o it_o be_v a_o doctrine_n quite_o unknown_a to_o the_o church_n of_o god_n for_o many_o age_n but_o that_o be_v not_o consistent_a with_o the_o brevity_n i_o be_o at_o present_a force_a to_o use_v i_o will_v therefore_o only_o observe_v this_o one_o thing_n that_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o conclude_v this_o to_o have_v be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o father_n only_a from_o some_o accidental_a or_o general_a expression_n which_o they_o sometime_o make_v use_n of_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o none_o of_o they_o design_o treat_v of_o this_o matter_n or_o explain_v it_o to_o we_o none_o of_o they_o recite_v it_o among_o the_o article_n of_o their_o faith_n none_o of_o they_o take_v any_o notice_n of_o the_o difficulty_n of_o it_o no_o christian_n appear_v to_o have_v be_v shocked_a at_o this_o doctrine_n and_o no_o heathen_n to_o have_v object_v it_o all_o which_o can_v hardly_o have_v be_v avoid_v have_v this_o be_v the_o constant_a doctrine_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n and_o as_o for_o general_a expression_n the_o calling_n what_o they_o receive_v the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n that_o can_v not_o be_v avoid_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n require_v they_o even_o according_a to_o our_o opinion_n of_o this_o matter_n and_o we_o see_v that_o notwithstanding_o we_o have_v make_v such_o express_a declaration_n against_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n and_o that_o by_o reason_n of_o this_o controversy_n we_o express_v ourselves_o more_o cautious_o than_o we_o may_v suppose_v the_o father_n will_v do_v before_o any_o controversy_n be_v move_v ve_v about_o it_o yet_o some_o general_a expression_n of_o our_o own_o divine_n be_v often_o turn_v against_o we_o by_o those_o of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n and_o there_o be_v no_o question_n but_o be_v the_o author_n of_o they_o as_o old_a as_o the_o
