blasphemy_n for_o all_o the_o learned_a papist_n in_o the_o world_n may_v be_v challenge_v to_o prove_v if_o they_o can_v out_o of_o god_n word_n and_o the_o ground_n of_o religion_n that_o she_o be_v

to_o nourish_v the_o body_n as_o do_v the_o milk_n of_o other_o woman_n their_o child_n for_o be_v not_o he_o a_o man_n like_o unto_o we_o in_o all_o thing_n sin_n except_v and_o if_o christ_n take_v

if_o god_n have_v vouchsafe_v once_o in_o the_o whole_a new_a testament_n so_o much_o as_o to_o name_v the_o milk_n of_o the_o virgin_n mary_n whereas_o almost_o in_o every_o chapter_n he_o extoll_v

to_o those_o man_n who_o make_v it_o as_o questionable_a whether_o christ_n jesus_n his_o blood_n excel_v the_o blood_n of_o other_o man_n as_o whether_o the_o virgin_n mary_fw-mi milk_n exceed_v the_o milk_n of_o other_o woman_n be_v this_o romish_a religion_n be_v this_o popish_a divinity_n then_o see_v what_o follow_v but_o it_o can_v be_v prove_v either_o to_o reason_n or_o to_o faith_n that_o her_o milk_n excel_v other_o woman_n in_o any_o spiritual_a or_o corporal_a virtue_n or_o operation_n therefore_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v prou●ed_v that_o christ_n blood_n be_v more_o

for_o her_o milk_n we_o know_v no_o such_o thing_n since_o she_o live_v on_o earth_n acknowledge_v with_o we_o that_o it_o be_v a_o fundamental_a ground_n of_o christian_a faith_n that_o his_o blood_n
