A56393	Reasons for abrogating the test imposed upon all members of Parliament, anno 1678, Octob. 30 in these words, I A.B. do solemnly and sincerely, in the presence of God, profess, testifie, and declare, that I do believe that in the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper there is not any transubstantiation of the elements of bread and wine into the body and blood of Christ, at, or after the consecration thereof by any person whatsoever, and that the invocation or adoration of the Virgin Mary, or any other saint, and the sacrifice of the mass, as they are now used in the Church of Rome, are superstitious and idolatrous : first written for the author's own satisfaction, and now published for the benefit of all others whom it may concern.	Parker, Samuel, 1640-1688.	1688 (1688)	Wing P467; ESTC R5001	62,716	138

father_n of_o the_o council_n believe_v the_o reality_n of_o the_o new_a substantial_a presence_n under_o the_o old_a accident_n yet_o they_o have_v more_o temper_n and_o discretion_n than_o to_o authorize_v it_o by_o conciliar_a determination_n and_o therefore_o use_v only_o the_o word_n species_n and_o no_o other_o word_n be_v use_v by_o nicolas_n two_o gregory_n vii_o and_o innocent_a iii_o that_o be_v think_v the_o three_o great_a innovator_n in_o the_o argument_n of_o the_o real_a presence_n that_o proper_o signify_v appearance_n but_o nothing_o of_o physical_a or_o natural_a reality_n so_o that_o though_o the_o presence_n under_o the_o species_n be_v real_a yet_o as_o the_o council_n have_v define_v it_o it_o be_v not_o natural_a but_o sacramental_a which_o sacramental_a real_a presence_n they_o express_v by_o the_o word_n transubstantiation_n and_o recommend_v the_o propriety_n of_o the_o word_n to_o the_o acceptance_n of_o christendom_n this_o be_v the_o short_a history_n of_o the_o real_a presence_n in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n where_o as_o far_o as_o i_o can_v discern_v the_o thing_n itself_o have_v be_v own_v in_o all_o age_n of_o the_o church_n the_o modus_fw-la of_o it_o never_o define_v but_o in_o the_o school_n and_o though_o they_o have_v fancy_v thousand_o definition_n to_o themselves_o their_o metaphysic_n be_v never_o admit_v into_o the_o church_n and_o so_o i_o proceed_v to_o give_v a_o account_n of_o it_o as_o it_o have_v be_v define_v in_o the_o protestant_a church_n where_o we_o shall_v find_v much_o the_o same_o harmony_n of_o faith_n and_o discord_n of_o philosophy_n as_o in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n and_o first_o we_o must_v begin_v with_o the_o famous_a confession_n of_o ausburg_n that_o be_v draw_v up_o by_o melancthon_n and_o in_o the_o year_n 1530_o present_v to_o charles_n the_o five_o by_o several_a prince_n of_o germany_n as_o a_o declaration_n of_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o first_o reformer_n and_o as_o the_o only_a true_a standard_n of_o the_o ancient_a protestant_a religion_n the_o confession_n consist_v of_o two_o part_n i._o what_o doctrine_n themselves_o teach_v ii_o what_o abuse_v they_o desire_v to_o be_v reform_v as_o to_o the_o late_a the_o emperor_n undertake_v to_o procure_v a_o general_n council_n as_o to_o the_o former_a particular_o this_o article_n of_o the_o presence_n in_o the_o
