A40605	A Full answer to Dr. Tenison's conferences concerning the Eucharist		1687 (1687)	Wing F2341; ESTC R11371	3,729	2

a_o full_a answer_n to_o dr._n tenison_n conference_n concern_v the_o eucharist_n i_o can_v not_o but_o wonder_n whilst_o i_o peruse_v the_o drs._n conference_n why_o he_o be_v please_v to_o term_v himself_o rather_o the_o publisher_n than_o author_n of_o the_o book_n some_o assure_v i_o the_o dr._n be_v too_o wise_a to_o think_v his_o reader_n so_o foolish_a as_o not_o to_o perceive_v he_o have_v borrow_a matter_n from_o his_o brethren_n to_o swell_v his_o pamphlet_n into_o fifteen_o sheet_n and_o indeed_o i_o myself_o be_v soon_o convince_v that_o if_o any_o thing_n appear_v new_a it_o pag._n 26._o arise_v from_o a_o certain_a air_n of_o novelty_n which_o may_v be_v in_o the_o manner_n of_o propose_v it_o but_o then_o why_o the_o dr._n shall_v engage_v himself_o in_o a_o new_a conference_n see_v that_o of_o michaelmas_n prove_v so_o unsuccessful_a i_o understand_v not_o but_o a_o friend_n very_o lucky_a in_o guess_v tell_v i_o that_o the_o dr._n be_v in_o the_o last_o meeting_n too_o weak_a to_o grapple_v with_o five_o jesuit_n arm_v with_o yellow_a peruque_n and_o little_a band_n he_o be_v resolve_v to_o venture_v the_o second_o cast_v with_o n._n alone_o a_o papist_n of_o his_o own_o coin_n yet_o some_o be_v of_o opinion_n that_o the_o dr._n turn_v dialoger_n to_o show_v the_o world_n he_o can_v compliment_v a_o papist_n though_o the_o loss_n of_o his_o father_n benefice_n give_v he_o no_o heart_n to_o use_v such_o ceremony_n with_o a_o jesuit_n now_o whether_o these_o man_n have_v hit_v the_o nail_n on_o the_o head_n i_o know_v not_o so_o that_o i_o will_v appeal_v to_o the_o dr._n if_o he_o say_v no_o let_v he_o be_v assure_v i_o shall_v not_o call_v he_o to_o the_o bar._n i_o come_v to_o his_o conclusion_n and_o proof_n first_o than_o he_o affirm_v pag._n 5._o that_o transubstantiation_n absolute_o destroy_v the_o certainty_n of_o our_o sense_n which_o be_v the_o foundation_n of_o the_o strong_a proof_n of_o christianity_n after_o some_o compliment_n with_o n._n he_o come_v to_o some_o postulata_n of_o which_o some_o be_v false_a other_o doubtful_a and_o then_o proceed_v to_o three_o grand_a conclusion_n as_o he_o term_v they_o the_o first_o be_v that_o if_o pag._n 19_o transubstantiation_n be_v one_o of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christianity_n christian_a religion_n will_v be_v oppose_v with_o great_a strength_n than_o mr._n huet_n or_o any_o one_o else_o 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 which_o be_v physical_a evidence_n whereas_o the_o evidence_n for_o christian_a religion_n be_v only_o moral_a one_o i_o confess_v poor_a n._n be_v at_o a_o nonplus_n and_o therefore_o i_o think_v myself_o oblige_v to_o help_v he_o for_o my_o part_n i_o be_o of_o opinion_n the_o drs._n argument_n even_o in_o his_o principle_n wound_n as_o deep_a christianity_n as_o in_o we_o i_o suppose_v he_o believe_v abraham_n see_v a_o angel_n and_o i_o be_o sure_a the_o dr._n must_v grant_v his_o sense_n be_v all_o deceive_v for_o have_v any_o person_n then_o present_a bid_v he_o ask_v your_o eye_n ask_v your_o nose_n ask_v 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 ever_o answer_v those_o who_o have_v consult_v they_o in_o this_o matter_n it_o be_v a_o man_n you_o see_v now_o i_o argue_v thus_o if_o the_o belief_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n pag._n 19_o be_v one_o of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christianity_n christian_a religion_n will_v be_v oppose_v with_o great_a strength_n than_o the_o dr._n or_o any_o one_o else_o ibid._n can_v bring_v forth_o to_o maintain_v it_o because_o do_v the_o belief_n of_o holy_a scripture_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 the_o belief_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n but_o more_o can_v be_v bring_v against_o the_o belief_n of_o holy_a scripture_n than_o the_o dr._n can_v bring_v to_o maintain_v christianity_n ergo._n the_o dr._n can_v deny_v the_o major_n without_o undermine_v his_o own_o foundation_n i_o prove_v therefore_o the_o minor._n no_o insidel_n can_v give_v assent_n to_o the_o scripture_n without_o believe_v all_o abraham_n sense_n be_v deceive_v this_o he_o can_v do_v unless_o he_o believe_v his_o own_o may_v be_v mistake_v this_o in_o the_o drs._n language_n be_v impossible_a for_o the_o argument_n the_o dr._n can_v propose_v to_o a_o insidel_n to_o convince_v he_o of_o the_o truth_n of_o christianity_n pag._n 19_o be_v only_o ground_v on_o a_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 the_o evidence_n which_o assure_v a_o insidel_n abraham_n sense_n and_o by_o consequence_n his_o own_o can_v not_o be_v deceive_v be_v ground_v on_o sense_n and_o he_o be_v pag._n 17._o more_o assure_v of_o what_o he_o do_v not_o know_v but_o by_o the_o revelation_n of_o his_o sense_n than_o of_o that_o which_o have_v the_o high_a degree_n of_o moral_a evidence_n pag._n 19_o therefore_o if_o two_o be_v more_o than_o one_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o grant_v the_o belief_n of_o scripture_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 the_o dr._n can_v defend_v it_o with_o hence_o it_o be_v clear_v the_o dart_n shoot_v at_o papist_n have_v rebound_v on_o st._n martin_n church_n and_o hit_v the_o minister_n if_o he_o please_v to_o answer_v my_o reply_n he_o will_v see_v his_o first_o objection_n fall_v to_o the_o ground_n as_o well_o as_o his_o other_o two_o which_o therefore_o i_o shall_v not_o mention_v the_o subject_a of_o the_o second_o conference_n be_v that_o pa._n 27._o transubstantiation_n discredit_v the_o testimony_n of_o our_o sense_n do_v absolute_o overthrow_v the_o principal_a reason_n which_o confirm_v the_o truth_n of_o christian_a religion_n the_o proposition_n he_o prove_v thus_o pa._n 29._o 1._o if_o transubstantiation_n take_v place_n our_o sense_n be_v deceive_v in_o take_v for_o bread_n and_o wine_n what_o be_v not_o so_o 2._o if_o our_o sense_n may_v be_v mistake_v in_o the_o eucharist_n they_o may_v be_v as_o well_o mistake_v in_o any_o thing_n else_o 3._o if_o our_o sense_n may_v be_v mistake_v in_o the_o discovery_n of_o their_o object_n be_v they_o what_o they_o will_v the_o proof_n of_o christian_a religion_n be_v of_o no_o value_n i_o answer_v as_o before_o if_o the_o deceptio_fw-la visus_fw-la of_o abraham_n take_v place_n his_o sense_n be_v deceive_v in_o take_v for_o a_o man_n him_z who_o be_v not_o so_o if_o his_o sense_n may_v be_v mistake_v in_o the_o angel_n they_o may_v be_v as_o well_o mistake_v in_o every_o thing_n else_o if_o his_o sense_n may_v be_v mistake_v in_o the_o discovery_n of_o their_o object_n be_v they_o what_o they_o will_v the_o proof_n of_o christianity_n be_v of_o no_o value_n because_o as_o i_o tell_v you_o before_o a_o infidel_n in_o the_o drs._n principle_n can_v believe_v abraham_n sense_n be_v deceive_v without_o grant_v his_o own_o may_v be_v mistake_v the_o drs._n argument_n then_o prove_v too_o much_o and_o therefore_o according_a to_o good_a philosophy_n nothing_o the_o three_o conference_n be_v but_o a_o repetition_n of_o the_o former_a i_o pass_v it_o by_o but_o because_o the_o second_o proposition_n be_v the_o chief_a ground_n of_o the_o four_o and_o five_o conference_n and_o indeed_o of_o all_o the_o book_n in_o which_o the_o dr._n pretend_v to_o prove_v that_o transubstantiation_n pa._n 60._o open_v a_o gate_n to_o scepticism_n in_o its_o full_a perfection_n and_o especial_o destroy_v the_o certainty_n of_o demonstration_n i_o will_v give_v it_o a_o full_a answer_n and_o then_o shall_v suppose_v i_o have_v perform_v my_o promise_n the_o proposition_n run_v thus_o pa._n 45._o if_o our_o sense_n deceive_v we_o in_o the_o report_n which_o they_o make_v of_o the_o eucharist_n they_o may_v as_o well_o deceive_v we_o in_o every_o thing_n else_o by_o the_o drs._n leave_v he_o be_v gross_o mistake_v in_o the_o first_o rudiment_n of_o logic_n and_o therefore_o i_o will_v take_v the_o pain_n to_o teach_v he_o how_o he_o shall_v have_v frame_v his_o argument_n if_o he_o intend_v to_o conclude_v any_o thing_n if_o our_o sense_n deceive_v we_o in_o the_o report_n which_o they_o make_v of_o the_o eucharist_n they_o may_v as_o well_o deceive_v we_o in_o every_o thing_n else_o in_o the_o same_o circumstance_n this_o without_o doubt_n his_o adversary_n n._n will_v have_v grant_v and_o not_o think_v he_o have_v either_o banish_v the_o proof_n of_o christianity_n out_o of_o the_o world_n on_o bring_v scepticism_n into_o it_o but_o for_o a_o dr._n to_o argue_v from_o
