the_o eucharist_n to_o be_v bread_n and_o wine_n and_o therefore_o deceive_v we_o if_o your_o belief_n be_v true_a thus_o my_o first_o proposition_n labour_v under_o no_o difficulty_n and_o the_o

in_o it_o it_o say_v that_o the_o certainty_n with_o accompany_v the_o act_n of_o the_o natural_a faculty_n and_o make_v we_o distinguish_v the_o substance_n that_o this_o certitude_n i_o say_v be_v the_o foundation_n of_o the_o proof_n of_o christianity_n and_o that_o we_o can_v solid_o establish_v the_o truth_n of_o this_o holy_a religion_n if_o the_o sense_n may_v deceive_v we_o in_o the_o report_v they_o make_v of_o these_o kind_n of_o object_n i_o conceive_v nothing_o more_o certain_a than_o this_o proposition_n in_o effect_n we_o agree_v in_o our_o first_o conference_n that_o the_o proof_n of_o christian_a religion_n depend_v on_o the_o truth_n of_o certain_a fact_n which_o we_o never_o see_v but_o which_o be_v attest_v to_o we_o by_o person_n who_o testimony_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v suspect_v by_o we_o yet_o it_o will_v reasonable_o be_v so_o if_o we_o be_v not_o in_o a_o capacity_n to_o discern_v certain_o particular_a substance_n and_o this_o will_v clear_o appear_v if_o we_o run_v through_o the_o most_o important_a of_o these_o fact_n the_o most_o considerable_a and_o the_o most_o decisive_a be_v without_o difficulty_n be_v our_o saviour_n resurrection_n for_o the_o whole_a depend_v hereon_o if_o this_o fact_n be_v false_a the_o gospel_n be_v but_o a_o mere_a romance_n and_o if_o it_o be_v true_a it_o can_v be_v deny_v but_o god_n have_v declare_v himself_o hereby_o in_o the_o most_o authentic_a manner_n in_o the_o world_n in_o favour_n of_o our_o holy_a religion_n and_o the_o apostle_n be_v chief_o send_v to_o attest_v the_o truth_n of_o this_o fact_n and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o they_o so_o often_o seem_v to_o affect_v as_o it_o be_v the_o title_n of_o witness_n of_o their_o master_n resurrection_n but_o it_o be_v very_o considerable_a that_o the_o apostle_n be_v not_o present_a at_o our_o lord_n resurrection_n he_o be_v not_o in_o the_o sepulchre_n when_o these_o holy_a man_n arrive_v there_o and_o they_o find_v only_o the_o funeral_n linen_n wherewith_o his_o body_n be_v wrap_v they_o know_v not_o then_o our_o saviour_n be_v rise_v by_o see_v he_o come_v out_o of_o the_o tomb_n and_o as_o they_o behold_v lazarus_n but_o they_o gather_v it_o from_o two_o other_o fact_n of_o which_o they_o be_v certain_a have_v already_o see_v the_o first_o and_o see_v then_o actual_o the_o second_o the_o one_o be_v his_o death_n and_o the_o other_o his_o life_n they_o be_v sure_a our_o lord_n have_v expire_v on_o the_o cross_n that_o his_o side_n be_v pierce_v with_o a_o spear_n that_o they_o may_v be_v certain_a of_o his_o death_n they_o know_v that_o he_o be_v bury_v and_o consequent_o can_v not_o have_v the_o least_o suspicion_n that_o he_o be_v not_o real_o dead_a they_o see_v he_o afterward_o alive_a and_o walk_v act_v
