christ_n see_v what_o goodly_a argument_n they_o use_v to_o deceive_v the_o simple_a withal_o the_o direct_a answer_n be_v that_o the_o main_a &_o principal_a end_n of_o christ_n incarnation_n passion_n and_o real_a presence_n in_o the_o sacrament_n be_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n justice_n wisdom_n and_o goodness_n and_o of_o his_o own_o mercy_n and_o bounty_n which_o be_v more_o excellent_a than_o christ_n incarnation_n and_o real_a presence_n man_n redemption_n spiritual_a feed_n and_o salvation_n be_v but_o secondary_a end_n which_o be_v far_o inferior_a unto_o our_o most_o love_a

believer_n in_o the_o supper_n of_o the_o lord_n receive_v whole_a christ_n god_n &_o man_n though_o not_o the_o godhead_n which_o word_n imply_v a_o manifest_a contradiction_n for_o how_o can_v god_n or_o whole_a christ_n be_v receive_v without_o the_o godhead_n but_o by_o carnal_a eat_n we_o receive_v not_o whole_o christ_n but_o only_o a_o part_n of_o the_o manhood_n and_o therefore_o in_o the_o sacrament_n there_o be_v no_o carnal_a eat_n nor_o real_a presence_n answ_n we_o catholic_n do_v eat_v all_o christ_n body_n whole_o for_o we_o part_v not_o his_o body_n but_o believe_v that_o it_o be_v whole_a in_o every_o consecrate_a host_n moreover_o because_o his_o bless_a body_n be_v a_o perfect_a live_a body_n we_o know_v also_o that_o it_o have_v blood_n in_o it_o as_o other_o body_n have_v and_o be_v yet_o further_o join_v with_o his_o most_o holy_a soul_n and_o so_o in_o receive_v his_o body_n we_o receive_v all_o his_o manhood_n both_o body_n &_o soul_n over_o and_o beside_o his_o godhead_n be_v link_v and_o join_v inseparable_o with_o his_o manhood_n whole_a christ_n both_o god_n and_o man_n be_v always_o receive_v together_o so_o that_o every_o lie_v catholic_a communicate_v but_o under_o one_o kind_n do_v receive_v christ_n body_n &_o blood_n yea_o whole_o both_o all_o his_o manhood_n and_o godhead_n whereas_o in_o the_o protestant_n natural_a communion_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n there_o be_v in_o deed_n neither_o body_n nor_o blood_n not_o any_o piece_n of_o christ_n but_o only_o in_o their_o own_o fantastical_a imagination_n so_o that_o those_o their_o ordinary_a out-cry_n be_v most_o fond_a the_o papist_n rob_v you_o of_o the_o blood_n be_v one_o part_n of_o the_o sacrament_n whereas_o catholic_a pastor_n give_v to_o their_o flock_n under_o one_o kind_n both_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n yea_o the_o very_a soul_n and_o godhead_n of_o christ_n as_o you_o have_v hear_v but_o the_o protestant_n be_v the_o great_a thief_n in_o deed_n who_o

unto_o m._n per._n last_o reason_n take_v from_o authority_n i_o think_v it_o fit_a to_o place_v here_o certain_a other_o objection_n which_o out_o of_o place_n he_o hudle_v up_o together_o in_o the_o
