of_o the_o eating_a and_o drynk_v of_o the_o very_a flesh_n and_o blood_n of_o our_o saviour_n christ._n 3._o now_o as_o touching_n the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o same_o body_n our_o saviour_n christ_n

in_o bread_n and_o wine_n declare_v that_o as_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n corporal_o comfort_v and_o feed_v our_o body_n so_o do_v he_o with_o his_o flesh_n and_o blood_n spiritual_o comfort_v and_o feed_v our_o soul_n direct_o and_o now_o may_v be_v easy_o answer_v the_o papist_n argument_n whereof_o they_o do_v so_o much_o boast_v for_o brag_v they_o never_o so_o much_o of_o the_o conversion_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n into_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n yet_o that_o conversion_n be_v spiritual_a and_o put_v not_o away_o the_o corporal_a presence_n of_o the_o material_a bread_n

they_o may_v as_o well_o be_v present_a there_o with_o the_o substance_n of_o bread_n &_o wine_n as_o with_o the_o accident_n of_o the_o same_o as_o the_o school_n author_n do_v confess_v themselves_o and_o it_o shall_v be_v well_o prove_v if_o the_o adversaries_n will_v deny_v it_o thus_o you_o see_v the_o strong_a argument_n of_o the_o papist_n answer_v unto_o and_o the_o chief_a foundation_n whereupon_o they_o build_v their_o error_n of_o transubstantiation_n utterlye_o subvert_v and_o overthrow_v an_o other_o reason_n have_v they_o of_o like_a strengthe_n 9_o if_o the_o bread_n shall_v

and_o so_o join_v it_o to_o his_o substance_n and_o than_o as_o we_o have_v god_n very_o incarnate_a for_o our_o redemption_n so_o shall_v we_o have_v he_o impanate_n thou_o may_v consydre_v answer_n good_a reader_n that_o the_o rest_n of_o their_o reason_n be_v very_o weak_a and_o feeble_a when_o these_o be_v the_o chief_a and_o strong_a truth_n it_o be_v in_o deed_n that_o christ_n shall_v

and_o person_n so_o that_o the_o bread_n and_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n be_v but_o one_o thing_n both_o in_o nature_n and_o person_n and_o so_o be_v there_o a_o more_o entire_a union_n between_o
