to_o be_v change_v in_o many_o of_o its_o quality_n and_o yet_o remain_v the_o same_o in_o its_o substance_n for_o that_o be_v the_o present_a question_n quite_o contrary_a to_o that_o of_o transubstantiation_n which_o suppose_v a_o change_n of_o the_o substance_n the_o quality_n or_o accident_n remain_v the_o same_o what_o do_v he_o think_v be_v not_o christ_n body_n change_v in_o his_o transfiguration_n upon_o the_o mount_n be_v it_o not_o therefore_o the_o same_o body_n or_o do_v christ_n take_v a_o new_a body_n that_o will_v have_v be_v death_n for_o after_o a_o soul_n be_v hypostatical_o that_o be_v personal_o unite_v to_o a_o body_n their_o separation_n be_v call_v death_n unless_o he_o think_v that_o christ_n take_v a_o body_n not_o otherwise_o than_o as_o angel_n have_v do_v that_o be_v not_o into_o any_o hypostatical_a union_n with_o his_o person_n but_o only_o as_o a_o cloak_n or_o a_o veil_n which_o he_o may_v throw_v off_o and_o put_v on_o again_o without_o any_o alteration_n as_o to_o his_o person_n and_o if_o so_o then_o christ_n do_v not_o die_v upon_o the_o cross_n more_o than_o upon_o the_o mount_n that_o be_v he_o only_o put_v off_o

but_o this_o will_v be_v discourse_v of_o more_o full_o in_o the_o section_n concern_v the_o divinity_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n let_v i_o give_v a_o easy_a answer_n to_o the_o two_o

of_o grain_n that_o be_v sow_o in_o the_o ground_n for_o the_o body_n of_o such_o grain_n be_v change_v in_o its_o quality_n but_o not_o in_o its_o substance_n the_o grain_n must_v die_v or_o else_o

to_o mr._n penn_n mighty_a wonder_n how_o a_o thing_n can_v be_v change_v and_o yet_o the_o same_o which_o he_o can_v comprehend_v and_o compare_v to_o transubstantiation_n it_o be_v so_o far_o from_o

at_o all_o i_o will_v recite_v it_o say_v he_o with_o the_o five_o follow_a verse_n which_o he_o there_o set_v down_o but_o for_o brevity_n i_o omit_v they_o refer_v to_o the_o chapter_n and_o have_v
