evident_a there_o be_v a_o city_n call_v rome_n than_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o it_o be_v now_o day_n you_o do_v not_o consider_v that_o i_o do_v not_o only_o know_v by_o myown_a sense_n it_o be_v day_n but_o by_o those_o of_o other_o for_o be_v i_o in_o fine_a blind_a yet_o i_o may_v know_v this_o with_o certainty_n i_o need_v only_o to_o be_v lead_v to_o the_o exchange_n to_o church_n to_o

be_v such_o a_o place_n as_o rome_n i_o believe_v then_o that_o the_o evidence_n which_o arise_v from_o the_o relation_n of_o sense_n consider_v alone_o be_v not_o great_a than_o the_o moral_a evidence_n be_v impossible_a to_o be_v less_o as_o i_o now_o prove_v i_o affirm_v that_o in_o this_o supposition_n to_o demand_v whither_o it_o be_v more_o evident_a it_o be_v day_n than_o whether_o there_o be_v such_o a_o city_n as_o rome_n be_v just_a as_o if_o you_o shall_v ask_v whether_o two_o be_v more_o than_o one_o the_o existence_n of_o rome_n as_o to_o we_o have_v but_o one_o only_a evidence_n and_o that_o a_o moral_a one_o whereas_o it_o be_v now_o day_n have_v two_o the_o moral_a evidence_n and_o the_o evidence_n of_o sense_n each_o of_o these_o two_o be_v at_o least_o equal_a to_o that_o of_o the_o existence_n of_o rome_n it_o be_v at_o least_o then_o as_o much_o again_o evident_a it_o be_v day_n as_o that_o there_o be_v a_o city_n call_v rome_n yet_o be_v it_o true_a say_v i_o it_o be_v more_o evident_a the_o eucharist_n be_v bread_n and_o wine_n than_o that_o it_o be_v day_n only_o the_o sense_n of_o those_o who_o live_v and_o be_v awake_a at_o present_a attest_v the_o latter_a whereas_o the_o sense_n of_o all_o man_n who_o live_v or_o have_v live_v since_o the_o plant_n of_o the_o gospel_n have_v affirm_v the_o former_a all_o our_o sense_n do_v not_o attest_v it_o be_v now_o day_n only_o our_o sight_n tell_v we_o so_o whereas_o all_o our_o sense_n tell_v we_o that_o the_o eucharist_n be_v bread_n and_o wine_n in_o effect_n take_v a_o consecrate_a host_n take_v consesecrate_v wine_n ask_v your_o eye_n what_o they_o be_v ask_v your_o nose_n your_o palate_n and_o your_o hand_n ask_v they_o ten_o thousand_o time_n the_o same_o question_n they_o will_v ever_o answer_v you_o what_o they_o have_v always_o answer_v those_o who_o have_v consult_v they_o on_o this_o matter_n they_o will_v tell_v you_o it_o be_v bread_n and_o wine_n in_o a_o word_n the_o sense_n never_o attest_v any_o thing_n in_o a_o more_o clear_a expressive_a and_o authentic_a manner_n than_o what_o they_o depose_v on_o the_o subject_a of_o the_o eucharist_n and_o if_o they_o deceive_v we_o herein_o they_o be_v not_o to_o be_v believe_v in_o any_o thing_n whatever_o grant_v we_o then_o the_o proof_n of_o christianity_n do_v use_v the_o high_a degree_n of_o moral_a evidence_n see_v the_o testimony_n of_o our_o sense_n circumstance_v in_o the_o manner_n as_o that_o be_v which_o shew_v we_o the_o eucharist_n to_o be_v bread_n and_o wine_n have_v at_o least_o twice_o as_o much_o evidence_n as_o that_o which_o have_v the_o high_a degree_n of_o moral_a evidence_n it_o be_v beyond_o all_o question_n that_o this_o testimony_n be_v twice_o again_o as_o

i_o draw_v from_o this_o principle_n the_o first_o that_o if_o transubstantiation_n be_v one_o of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christianity_n as_o you_o pretend_v christian_a religion_n will_v be_v oppose_v with_o great_a strength_n than_o mr._n huet_n can_v bring_v forth_o to_o maintain_v it_o in_o effect_n do_v transubstantiation_n make_v a_o part_n of_o christian_a religion_n one_o may_v oppose_v against_o it_o whatever_o be_v offer_v against_o transubstantiation_n i_o have_v now_o show_v you_o one_o may_v oppose_v against_o transubstantiation_n all_o the_o evidence_n of_o sense_n one_o may_v offer_v all_o this_o same_o evidence_n against_o christianity_n be_v it_o true_a that_o christianity_n comprehend_v transubstantiation_n this_o be_v that_o which_o oppose_v christianity_n in_o your_o principle_n let_v we_o see_v now_o what_o mr._n huet_n do_v to_o maintain_v it_o he_o bring_v argument_n which_o as_o we_o have_v already_o observe_v be_v only_o ground_v on_o moral_a evidence_n which_o be_v never_o half_a so_o great_a as_o that_o of_o sense_n if_o then_o two_o be_v more_o than_o one_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o grant_v transubstantiation_n to_o be_v one_o of_o the_o christian_a doctrine_n christianity_n be_v attack_v with_o great_a strength_n than_o mr._n huet_n can_v defend_v it_o with_o it_o be_v clear_a according_a to_o this_o supposition_n a_o infidel_n will_v more_o strong_o prove_v that_o christian_a religion_n be_v false_a than_o mr._n huet_n can_v prove_v it_o be_v true_a all_o which_o will_v never_o be_v be_v transubstantiation_n put_v out_o of_o the_o number_n of_o christian_a doctrine_n by_o which_o mean_n the_o proof_n of_o this_o holy_a religion_n will_v conserve_v all_o their_o strength_n and_o the_o infidel_n will_v have_v nothing_o that_o be_v rational_a to_o oppose_v against_o they_o these_o proof_n be_v most_o solid_a in_o themselves_o and_o capable_a of_o convince_a every_o reasonable_a body_n who_o search_v the_o truth_n and_o be_v dispose_v to_o follow_v it_o through_o all_o part_n where_o he_o find_v it_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o transubstantiation_n which_o weaken_v they_o grant_v transubstantiation_n these_o proof_n will_v be_v of_o no_o validity_n take_v away_o this_o doctrine_n our_o proof_n subsist_v and_o have_v their_o effect_n it_o do_v not_o belong_v then_o to_o your_o doctor_n who_o hold_v transubstantiation_n to_o defend_v christianity_n the_o best_a argument_n will_v never_o be_v good_a one_o in_o their_o mouth_n only_o we_o can_v propose_v they_o without_o weaken_v they_o so_o that_o i_o tell_v you_o nothing_o but_o what_o you_o find_v true_a when_o i_o affirm_v a_o while_n ago_o that_o mr._n huet_n book_n which_o will_v be_v a_o excellent_a work_n be_v it_o write_v by_o a_o protestant_n be_v without_o conviction_n come_v from_o a_o man_n of_o your_o party_n and_o this_o be_v sir_n my_o first_o conclusion_n the_o second_o follow_v which_o be_v that_o whereas_o a_o infidel_n to_o who_o be_v offer_v mr._n huet_n argument_n without_o any_o mention_n of_o transubstantiation_n or_o who_o shall_v suppose_v that_o christianity_n do_v not_o oblige_v we_o to_o believe_v it_o will_v be_v irrational_a shall_v he_o not_o embrace_v a_o religion_n so_o well_o ground_v so_o in_o like_a manner_n he_o will_v fall_v in_o to_o as_o great_a a_o fault_n and_o act_n as_o much_o against_o reason_n if_o suppose_v the_o contrary_a and_o let_v himself_o be_v persuade_v one_o can_v be_v a_o christian_n without_o believe_a transubstantiation_n he_o shall_v receive_v both_o transubstantiation_n and_o christian_a religion_n what_o i_o have_v now_o be_v say_v to_o you_o do_v necessary_o draw_v along_o with_o it_o this_o consequence_n but_o to_o remark_n more_o clear_o the_o necessity_n of_o it_o be_v please_v to_o observe_v that_o what_o make_v a_o infidel_n a_o christian_n be_v the_o reason_n which_o persuade_v he_o that_o the_o christian_a religion_n be_v reveal_v by_o god._n in_o effect_n that_o which_o induce_v we_o to_o believe_v thing_n be_v the_o reason_n good_a or_o bad_a which_o seem_v to_o we_o to_o uphold_v the_o opinion_n which_o we_o embrace_v so_o that_o shall_v one_o persuade_v one_o self_n of_o any_o thing_n without_o ground_n or_o reason_n that_o man_n will_v act_v foolish_o and_o sottish_o though_o the_o thing_n itself_o shall_v be_v true_a so_o the_o infidel_n who_o shall_v make_v himself_o a_o christian_n without_o reason_n will_v apparent_o offend_v against_o good_a sense_n and_o this_o be_v the_o general_a notion_n of_o your_o divine_n which_o i_o need_v not_o allege_v to_o you_o for_o have_v read_v they_o you_o must_v needs_o remember_v they_o a_o man_n than_o never_o believe_v without_o reason_n if_o he_o believe_v wise_o and_o judicious_o but_o it_o seldom_o happen_v that_o the_o reason_n be_v all_o on_o one_o side_n there_o be_v common_o some_o for_o and_o some_o against_o
