this_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o word_n of_o our_o ordinal_n give_v power_n to_o administer_v the_o sacrament_n give_v power_n also_o to_o consecrate_v the_o element_n in_o the_o holy_a eucharist_n and_o in_o all_o such_o form_n the_o more_o general_a the_o word_n be_v it_o be_v always_o the_o better_a provide_v they_o be_v such_o as_o include_v all_o the_o particular_n as_o it_o be_v certain_a the_o word_n of_o our_o form_n in_o the_o ordination_n of_o a_o priest_n include_v all_o the_o particular_n that_o belong_v to_o that_o office._n but_o if_o you_o urge_v that_o it_o be_v not_o only_o necessary_a to_o express_v the_o power_n of_o administer_a the_o sacrament_n in_o general_a but_o that_o it_o must_v also_o be_v do_v in_o particular_a i_o must_v then_o ask_v the_o question_n why_o the_o sacrament_n of_o baptism_n ought_v not_o also_o in_o particular_a to_o be_v mention_v in_o the_o form_n as_o well_o as_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o eucharist_n and_o why_o may_v we_o not_o from_o the_o omission_n of_o this_o in_o the_o roman_a ordinal_n infer_v the_o nullity_n of_o their_o order_n as_o well_o as_o they_o the_o nullity_n of_o we_o from_o the_o omission_n of_o the_o other_o and_o that_o especial_o since_o the_o sacrament_n of_o baptism_n may_v be_v just_o esteem_v the_o noble_a of_o the_o two_o as_o be_v that_o which_o first_o give_v we_o life_n in_o christ_n whereas_o the_o other_o only_o add_v strength_n and_o nourishment_n thereto_o but_o here_o you_o will_v object_v to_o what_o i_o have_v say_v that_o our_o ordinal_n give_v power_n only_o to_o dispense_v the_o sacrament_n and_o not_o to_o consecrate_v the_o eucharist_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o by_o the_o word_n dispense_v the_o church_n mean_v the_o whole_a of_o what_o belong_v both_o to_o the_o consecration_n and_o administration_n of_o that_o sacred_a rite_n and_o word_n be_v always_o to_o be_v understand_v according_a to_o the_o meaning_n and_o receive_v interpretation_n of_o they_o that_o use_v they_o and_o not_o as_o they_o shall_v be_v limit_v or_o force_v by_o the_o impertinent_a cavil_n of_o every_o contentious_a adversary_n and_o you_o may_v always_o take_v this_o for_o a_o certain_a rule_n that_o when_o in_o the_o management_n of_o controversy_n man_n come_v to_o cavil_v about_o word_n it_o be_v a_o evident_a sign_n that_o they_o be_v run_v on_o ground_n as_o to_o all_o thing_n else·_a but_o to_o this_o point_n you_o further_o say_v that_o those_o that_o have_v authority_n only_o thus_o to_o dispense_v the_o element_n have_v not_o power_n to_o make_v present_a the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o holy_a eucharist_n without_o which_o you_o hold_v this_o sacrament_n can_v be_v administer_v to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o if_o by_o make_v present_a the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n you_o mean_v a_o corporeal_a presence_n by_o the_o transmutation_n of_o the_o element_n as_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n hold_v it_o be_v a_o monstrous_a opinion_n which_o we_o can_v never_o receive_v and_o i_o hope_v you_o be_v not_o go_v so_o far_o as_o to_o swallow_v with_o they_o so_o absurd_a a_o opinion_n six_o you_o say_v
