of_o what_o use_n can_v it_o be_v to_o determine_v whether_o the_o sacrament_n be_v the_o real_a body_n yea_o or_o no_o since_o the_o real_a substance_n will_v not_o be_v effectual_a by_o itself_o of_o what_o concern_v can_v it_o be_v whether_o it_o be_v in_o the_o sacrament_n or_o no_o and_o this_o opinion_n too_o be_v not_o of_o so_o long_o stand_v but_o that_o christian_n who_o before_o this_o invention_n believe_v in_o christ_n and_o follow_v his_o example_n be_v certain_o in_o a_o state_n of_o salvation_n and_o if_o that_o be_v grant_v it_o show_v that_o it_o can_v be_v of_o no_o concern_v if_o the_o question_n about_o it_o have_v never_o be_v raise_v for_o if_o the_o thing_n propose_v to_o be_v believe_v be_v in_o itself_o separately_z of_o no_o force_n or_o efficacy_n to_o what_o purpose_n be_v the_o enquiry_n whether_o it_o be_v real_o in_o the_o sacrament_n or_o no_o if_o it_o have_v effectual_a power_n separately_z and_o mere_o by_o virtue_n of_o the_o substance_n than_o it_o must_v operate_v on_o a_o infidel_n that_o eat_v it_o as_o well_o as_o on_o a_o believer_n but_o if_o faith_n in_o he_o that_o die_v for_o we_o be_v the_o foundation_n of_o our_o salvation_n and_o we_o build_v upon_o it_o in_o follow_v his_o example_n and_o precept_n than_o salvation_n can_v depend_v upon_o this_o whether_o the_o celebration_n of_o the_o memorial_n of_o our_o saviour_n last_o supper_n be_v this_o or_o that_o substance_n shall_v any_o believe_v true_o in_o christ_n and_o in_o our_o redemption_n by_o his_o death_n and_o endeavour_v to_o follow_v his_o bless_a rule_n and_o example_n and_o yet_o never_o consider_v further_o of_o the_o celebration_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n but_o only_o as_o a_o memorial_n that_o as_o often_o as_o we_o come_v thither_o we_o do_v it_o in_o remembrance_n of_o his_o suffer_v for_o we_o will_v this_o be_v ineffectual_a without_o determine_v in_o opinion_n at_o that_o time_n what_o sort_n of_o substance_n we_o receive_v if_o so_o then_o if_o the_o person_n that_o take_v it_o guess_v wrong_v all_o his_o faith_n in_o christ_n and_o all_o his_o endeavour_n of_o a_o good_a life_n be_v in_o vain_a and_o of_o none_o effect_n so_o that_o upon_o a_o controvert_v point_n which_o seem_v ridiculous_a to_o common_a sense_n salvation_n must_v depend_v and_o the_o mistake_v of_o a_o dark_a and_o controvert_v point_n shall_v defeat_v all_o the_o effect_n of_o a_o strict_a follow_v the_o plain_a and_o bless_a rule_n of_o the_o gospel_n which_o most_o certain_o contain_v all_o thing_n necessary_a to_o salvation_n and_o if_o this_o particular_a question_n what_o substance_n it_o be_v that_o be_v administer_v in_o the_o sacrament_n have_v be_v so_o very_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n our_o saviour_n will_v certain_o have_v deliver_v it_o in_o a_o plain_a instruction_n and_o precept_n to_o guide_v our_o faith_n in_o a_o particular_a on_o which_o salvation_n depend_v and_o with_o the_o same_o

another_o of_o which_o it_o direct_o say_v that_o the_o reward_n shall_v be_v eternal_a salvation_n st._n paul_n set_v down_o very_o direct_o and_o plain_o the_o necessary_a part_n of_o faith_n and_o comprise_v all_o in_o a_o very_a short_a creed_n this_o be_v the_o word_n of_o faith_n say_v he_o 9_o which_o we_o preach_v that_o if_o thou_o shall_v confess_v with_o thy_o mouth_n the_o lord_n

there_o be_v nothing_o of_o real_a necessity_n beside_o this_o and_o the_o apparent_a and_o immediate_a consequence_n of_o it_o to_o be_v believe_v by_o we_o as_o christian_n but_o the_o priest_n have_v endeavour_v to_o throw_v every_o plain_a way_n into_o a_o wilderness_n and_o to_o bring_v darkness_n upon_o light_n it_o follow_v suitable_o to_o that_o design_n that_o they_o propose_v themselves_o as_o guide_n and_o no_o man_n to_o use_v his_o own_o conduct_n and_o reason_n but_o if_o such_o imposer_n that_o design_n power_n and_o wealth_n by_o their_o dark_a and_o unnecessary_a doctrine_n can_v secure_v we_o that_o we_o shall_v not_o answer_v to_o god_n for_o ourselves_o then_o to_o follow_v such_o guide_n as_o can_v and_o will_v be_v accountable_a for_o what_o their_o follower_n have_v submit_v to_o on_o their_o bare_a authority_n and_o to_o serve_v they_o will_v be_v reasonable_a but_o since_o a_o blind_a and_o brutish_a submission_n to_o any_o will_v be_v no_o excuse_n to_o they_o who_o have_v a_o plain_a rule_n give_v they_o by_o god_n it_o behoove_v every_o man_n to_o take_v care_n that_o his_o guide_n do_v not_o mislead_v he_o and_o then_o it_o be_v the_o same_o thing_n to_o follow_v his_o own_o reason_n and_o be_v his_o own_o guide_n and_o sure_o every_o one_o may_v be_v better_o trust_v to_o himself_o than_o to_o another_o yet_o if_o by_o their_o undertake_n to_o be_v guide_n they_o will_v exclude_v the_o use_n of_o reason_n in_o religion_n why_o do_v they_o themselves_o propound_v argument_n why_o be_v scripture_n sometime_o cite_v council_n and_o father_n quote_v tradition_n trumpt_v up_o if_o we_o must_v not_o use_v our_o reason_n and_o judge_v of_o those_o argument_n it_o be_v fair_a deal_v to_o decree_v their_o proposition_n magisterial_o but_o they_o say_v the_o unlearned_a be_v not_o fit_a to_o judge_n this_o be_v true_a indeed_o that_o be_v of_o the_o thing_n which_o they_o have_v make_v too_o hard_o even_o for_o themselves_o to_o judge_n of_o and_o to_o agree_v about_o but_o we_o be_v capable_a to_o judge_n of_o the_o plainness_n of_o the_o gospel_n which_o only_o be_v necessary_a to_o our_o salvation_n their_o new_a dark_a write_n and_o doctrine_n be_v not_o decidable_a among_o themselves_o and_o it_o be_v very_o impertinent_a to_o make_v it_o a_o argument_n that_o because_o unlearned_a man_n be_v not_o able_a to_o judge_n of_o the_o confuse_a dark_a notion_n of_o these_o that_o call_v themselves_o the_o learned_a which_o notion_n these_o learned_a man_n seldom_o understand_v alike_o therefore_o the_o unlearned_a be_v to_o be_v debar_v from_o use_v their_o reason_n in_o what_o be_v plain_a to_o be_v understand_v such_o as_o the_o plain_a gospel_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v which_o be_v and_o aught_o to_o be_v their_o only_o concern_v do_v the_o learned_a by_o their_o own_o agreement_n encourage_v other_o to_o depend_v upon_o they_o as_o unerring_a guide_n how_o can_v we_o be_v satisfy_v with_o their_o difference_n or_o find_v out_o truth_n in_o their_o abstruse_a cavil_n for_o be_v not_o the_o guide_n themselves_o grow_v into_o different_a sect_n support_v by_o custom_n education_n interest_n and_o prepossession_n more_o than_o by_o reason_n do_v they_o not_o continue_v in_o a_o resolve_a opinion_n by_o only_o be_v of_o the_o same_o religious_a club_n this_o be_v the_o ridiculous_a cause_n why_o all_o the_o dominican_n be_v always_o of_o one_o opinion_n in_o the_o point_n of_o predestination_n and_o the_o immaculate_a conception_n and_o the_o franciscan_n be_v as_o universal_o of_o the_o contrary_n it_o be_v in_o my_o opinion_n as_o reasonable_a that_o all_o the_o john_n shall_v be_v of_o one_o sect_n and_o opinion_n and_o the_o richards_n of_o another_o pursue_v still_o what_o be_v affirm_v by_o those_o of_o their_o name_n without_o examine_v the_o nature_n or_o reason_n of_o the_o opinion_n as_o that_o the_o institution_n of_o a_o founder_n of_o the_o order_n suppose_v of_o dominican_n or_o franciscan_n shall_v as_o much_o influence_n all_o particular_a person_n of_o the_o order_n as_o much_o as_o a_o opinion_n which_o be_v teach_v by_o
