from_o shipwreck_n what_o ground_n have_v they_o for_o patch_v up_o a_o sacramental_a matter_n with_o two_o such_o disparate_a and_o heterogeneal_a piece_n what_o time_n will_v they_o appoint_v to_o

form_n to_o have_v a_o capacity_n to_o confer_v the_o order_n of_o priesthood_n and_o imprint_v the_o character_n therefore_o they_o must_v declare_v the_o ordination_n of_o the_o greek_n to_o be_v frustrate_a who_o never_o use_v any_o other_o matter_n than_o the_o imposition_n of_o hand_n but_o if_o this_o alone_o be_v sufficient_a then_o what_o need_n be_v there_o of_o the_o tradition_n of_o the_o vessel_n why_o shall_v these_o two_o part_n so_o different_a from_o each_o other_o be_v conjoin_v if_o either_o of_o they_o apart_o be_v sufficient_a my_o second_o answer_n be_v that_o they_o can_v never_o have_v make_v a_o worse_a choice_n then_o to_o join_v these_o two_o matter_n and_o form_n together_o in_o order_n to_o constitute_v the_o entire_a essence_n of_o ordination_n for_o

whence_o then_o can_v they_o derive_v their_o validity_n my_o three_o answer_n be_v that_o the_o last_o imposition_n of_o hand_n with_o this_o form_n accipe_fw-la spiritum_fw-la sanctum_fw-la etc._n etc._n receive_v the_o holy_a ghost_n who_o sin_n you_o forgive_v they_o be_v forgive_v who_o sin_n you_o retain_v they_o be_v retain_v this_o i_o say_v can_v no_o way_n belong_v to_o the_o

tradition_n of_o the_o vessel_n for_o confer_v upon_o the_o ordain_v the_o spiritual_a power_n of_o priesthood_n and_o enable_v he_o to_o consecrate_v the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n and_o to_o offer_v sacrifice_n and_o for_o imprint_v the_o character_n etc._n etc._n all_o which_o the_o touch_v of_o the_o vessel_n with_o its_o form_n can_v never_o accomplish_v because_o here_o be_v nothing_o at_o all_o of_o christ_n institution_n no_o imposition_n of_o hand_n do_v any_o way_n concur_v to_o this_o so_o that_o we_o have_v here_o the_o power_n of_o priesthood_n confer_v with_o the_o character_n and_o yet_o without_o any_o imposition_n of_o hand_n and_o hereby_o this_o opinion_n agree_v with_o the_o first_o objection_n which_o exclude_v all_o imposition_n of_o hand_n and_o therefore_o must_v of_o necessity_n condemn_v the_o greek_a church_n who_o never_o use_v any_o other_o matter_n of_o ordination_n than_o the_o imposition_n of_o hand_n and_o yet_o the_o main_a drift_n of_o these_o objection_n be_v to_o save_v the_o validity_n of_o the_o greek_n ordination_n so_o as_o not_o to_o destroy_v their_o own_o and_o that_o the_o power_n of_o consecrate_v the_o body_n and_o

former_a than_o it_o affirm_v a_o identity_n between_o bread_n and_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v a_o chimaera_n and_o all_o the_o forego_n discourse_n stand_v firm_a and_o immovable_a if_o the_o latter_a then_o with_o assure_a confidence_n i_o declare_v that_o there_o be_v not_o the_o least_o ground_n or_o appearance_n of_o transubstantiation_n to_o be_v draw_v from_o that_o so_o often_o reiterated_a proposition_n hoc_fw-la est_fw-la corpus_fw-la meum_fw-la which_o i_o prove_v evident_o all_o conversion_n and_o transmutation_n whether_o partial_a or_o total_a whether_o

quem_fw-la because_o the_o bread_n be_v say_v to_o be_v convert_v or_o transubstantiate_v into_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n so_o that_o the_o bread_n be_v destroy_v and_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n

it_o be_v destroy_v and_o after_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n exist_v under_o the_o same_o collection_n of_o accident_n now_o if_o the_o foresay_a particle_n hoc_fw-la do_v not_o signify_v the_o substance_n of_o bread_n than_o it_o be_v most_o manifest_a that_o in_o the_o whole_a proposition_n there_o be_v not_o the_o least_o mention_n make_v of_o bread_n but_o only_o of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n which_o the_o predicate_a express_v and_o the_o copula_fw-la or_o union_n represent_v nothing_o but_o only_o intentional_o unite_v or_o identify_v the_o two_o extreme_n and_o there_o be_v

that_o signify_v it_o in_o the_o whole_a proposition_n whence_o i_o infer_v that_o the_o aforesaid_a proposition_n do_v no_o way_n signify_v import_n or_o make_v the_o least_o mention_n of_o transubstantiation_n no_o nor_o do_v it_o afford_v the_o least_o ground_n to_o infer_v it_o from_o thence_o because_o it_o mention_n no_o extreme_n real_o distinct_a no_o terminum_fw-la à _fw-la

this_o be_v correlative_a to_o another_o extreme_a which_o be_v terminus_fw-la à _fw-la quo_fw-la but_o this_o it_o not_o at_o all_o signify_v how_o then_o can_v it_o administer_v any_o the_o least_o

can_v be_v capable_a to_o administer_v such_o a_o assure_a belief_n of_o transubstantiation_n which_o notwithstanding_o it_o do_v not_o in_o the_o least_o signify_v it_o ensue_v therefore_o that_o
