of_o meaux_n have_v bring_v against_o the_o calvinist_n of_o france_n be_v equal_o in_o force_n against_o the_o church_n of_o england_n viz._n that_o they_o must_v not_o deny_v but_o that_o both_o species_n be_v not_o by_o the_o institution_n of_o christ_n essential_a to_o the_o communion_n see_v no_o necessity_n can_v require_v we_o to_o go_v contrary_a to_o a_o essential_a ordinance_n of_o christ_n but_o that_o the_o church_n of_o england_n do_v allow_v her_o people_n to_o communicate_v under_o one_o species_n in_o case_n of_o necessity_n i_o prove_v from_o edward_n the_o sixths_n

therefore_o he_o for_o the_o great_a decency_n and_o uniformity_n of_o this_o sacred_a eucharist_n now_o think_v fit_a to_o appoint_v the_o follow_a form_n and_o order_n for_o the_o administration_n of_o it_o let_v it_o be_v so_o if_o you_o please_v that_o edward_n the_o 6_o do_v not_o by_o virtue_n of_o this_o proclamation_n ordain_v it_o yet_o the_o insert_v of_o that_o act_n of_o parliament_n into_o that_o proclamation_n serve_v as_o a_o rubric_n to_o inform_v all_o those_o who_o be_v to_o administer_v that_o sacrament_n that_o if_o necessity_n require_v it_o they_o may_v give_v it_o in_o one_o kind_n and_o my_o argument_n have_v gather_v strength_n by_o be_v oppose_v see_v it_o have_v now_o not_o only_o a_o proclamation_n but_o a_o act_n of_o parliament_n to_o back_o it_o but_o he_o say_v it_o be_v also_o unreasonable_a to_o argue_v as_o to_o the_o present_a state_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n from_o what_o be_v allow_v only_o and_o that_o in_o case_n of_o necessity_n too_o in_o the_o very_a beginning_n of_o the_o reformation_n if_o the_o church_n of_o england_n have_v repeal_v this_o act_n of_o parliament_n or_o by_o some_o authentic_a act_n or_o canon_n declare_v it_o to_o be_v void_a it_o may_v have_v seem_v unreasonable_a in_o i_o to_o produce_v it_o but_o if_o this_o act_n be_v still_o in_o force_n i_o see_v no_o reason_n why_o we_o may_v not_o just_o conclude_v that_o the_o church_n of_o england_n hold_v it_o lawful_a in_o case_n of_o necessity_n to_o communicate_v only_o under_o one_o species_n which_o if_o she_o do_v all_o her_o argument_n against_o catholic_o as_o if_o they_o deprive_v the_o people_n of_o a_o essential_a part_n of_o the_o sacrament_n violate_v christ_n ordinance_n give_v but_o a_o half_a communion_n and_o the_o like_a have_v as_o much_o force_n against_o herself_o as_o we_o and_o if_o she_o leave_v it_o to_o her_o minister_n to_o judge_v when_o necessity_n require_v it_o to_o be_v give_v only_o under_o one_o kind_n why_o will_v she_o deprive_v the_o catholic_a church_n representative_a of_o that_o power_n and_o if_o a_o natural_a reason_n such_o as_o be_v a_o loathe_n of_o wine_n may_v induce_v private_a

of_o a_o heresy_n not_o to_o mention_v the_o avoid_n of_o many_o indignity_n etc._n etc._n induce_v such_o a_o church_n representative_a to_o command_v that_o which_o be_v already_o practise_v by_o most_o christian_n especial_o know_v that_o she_o deprive_v they_o of_o nothing_o which_o be_v essential_a to_o a_o sacrament_n as_o for_o the_o note_n i_o make_v use_v of_o it_o only_o as_o a_o thing_n fit_a to_o be_v remark_v and_o not_o as_o a_o argument_n against_o communicate_v under_o both_o kind_n however_o i_o may_v just_o conclude_v that_o if_o under_o one_o particle_n the_o whole_a body_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v contain_v and_o this_o body_n be_v now_o a_o live_a body_n which_o it_o can_v be_v unless_o the_o flesh_n and_o blood_n the_o soul_n and_o divinity_n be_v unite_v

of_o be_v as_o you_o see_v a_o plain_a mistake_n i_o do_v not_o say_v he_o have_v no_o reason_n for_o it_o because_o the_o printer_n have_v indeed_o place_v the_o citation_n in_o the_o margin_n over_o against_o a_o wrong_a place_n but_o have_v he_o consider_v the_o sense_n he_o may_v have_v save_v that_o ungenteele_n answer_v the_o second_o argument_n as_o he_o call_v it_o be_v neither_o false_a in_o the_o bottom_n nor_o unreasonable_a and_o if_o the_o last_o be_v not_o so_o convince_a a_o argument_n yet_o do_v it_o not_o want_v some_o force_n and_o i_o will_v add_v to_o
