say_v to_o be_v idolatry_n for_o the_o church_n intend_v not_o thereby_o to_o give_v any_o honour_n to_o any_o feign_a or_o imagine_a god_n but_o only_o to_o the_o true_a god_n the_o worst_a that_o

three_o the_o church_n have_v always_o believe_v that_o christ_n himself_o institute_v this_o sacrifice_n in_o his_o last_o supper_n as_o it_o have_v be_v clear_o prove_v before_o as_o also_o that_o it_o be_v ground_v in_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n other_o object_n that_o the_o mass_n admit_v of_o the_o adoration_n of_o the_o host_n which_o be_v plain_a idolatry_n for_o such_o

they_o who_o give_v the_o honour_n proper_a to_o god_n to_o his_o creature_n be_v idolater_n they_o that_o worship_v the_o host_n give_v the_o honour_n due_a to_o god_n to_o his_o creature_n the_o conclusion_n follow_v ergo_fw-la they_o that_o worship_v the_o host_n be_v idolater_n i_o answer_v m._n thorndike_n call_v it_o a_o demonstration_n as_o it_o seem_v to_o other_o but_o not_o to_o himself_o and_o therefore_o say_v but_o will_v any_o papist_n acknowledge_v that_o he_o honour_v the_o element_n of_o the_o eucharist_n or_o as_o he_o think_v the_o accident_n of_o they_o for_o god_n

who_o know_v that_o the_o godhead_n of_o christ_n be_v the_o reason_n for_o which_o his_o flesh_n and_o blood_n be_v worship_v in_o the_o eucharist_n can_v take_v that_o worship_n for_o idolatry_n because_o his_o flesh_n and_o blood_n be_v not_o present_a in_o the_o eucharist_n as_o they_o who_o worship_v it_o there_o think_v it_o be_v for_o they_o know_v that_o the_o flesh_n and_o blood_n of_o
