adorable_a object_n of_o all_o religion_n for_o suppose_v it_o impossible_a for_o a_o be_v of_o necessary_a existence_n to_o exist_v which_o be_v but_o suppose_v a_o contradiction_n and_o we_o have_v

the_o jesuit_n acknowledge_v and_o i_o suppose_v all_o papist_n with_o he_o that_o if_o the_o bread_n be_v not_o change_v into_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n the_o worship_n of_o the_o host_n be_v

consequent_o we_o have_v demonstrate_v that_o suppose_v that_o jesuit_n concession_n just_o the_o papist_n in_o worship_v of_o the_o host_n be_v guilty_a of_o gross_a idolatry_n and_o the_o best_a friend_n they_o have_v in_o the_o world_n can_v free_v they_o from_o it_o so_o likewise_o it_o can_v be_v no_o long_o a_o moot-point_n or_o a_o disputable_a matter_n whether_o it_o be_v criminal_a to_o call_v the_o host_n their_o lord_n god_n their_o maker_n their_o former_a and_o their_o creator_n when_o we_o have_v demonstrate_v that_o it_o can_v be_v so_o and_o that_o it_o be_v only_o a_o bit_n of_o bread_n and_o to_o affirm_v bread_n to_o be_v a_o god_n if_o it_o be_v not_o blasphemy_n it_o want_v a_o name_n in_o our_o language_n in_o short_a that_o can_v never_o be_v a_o divine_a

and_o dark_a stronghold_n of_o popery_n be_v utter_o demolish_v and_o the_o papist_n have_v lose_v that_o shelter_n not_o only_o all_o the_o absurdity_n of_o their_o belief_n concern_v it_o will_v

head_n be_v of_o practical_a absurdity_n by_o which_o i_o mean_v such_o unreasonable_a and_o unworthy_a action_n as_o be_v do_v by_o the_o papist_n in_o pursuance_n of_o their_o doctrine_n of_o transubstantiation_n and_o here_o i_o can_v by_o no_o mean_n charge_v they_o with_o eat_v their_o maker_n or_o eat_v man_n flesh_n and_o drink_v man_n blood_n in_o the_o sacrament_n for_o i_o have_v show_v it_o to_o be_v impossible_a for_o they_o to_o do_v either_o of_o these_o but_o yet_o because_o they_o intend_v and_o profess_v to_o do_v both_o perhaps_o the_o guilt_n be_v no_o less_o than_o if_o they_o real_o do_v they_o and_o the_o absurdity_n of_o their_o practice_n in_o this_o behalf_n be_v very_o equal_o match_v with_o the_o absurdity_n and_o contradictiousness_n of_o their_o belief_n for_o as_o they_o hold_v the_o sacrament_n to_o be_v the_o natural_a body_n of_o christ_n and_o yet_o say_v it_o be_v in_o several_a place_n at_o once_o and_o be_v make_v at_o several_a time_n and_o be_v in_o the_o form_n of_o bread_n whereby_o it_o appear_v to_o be_v not_o the_o natural_a body_n of_o christ_n but_o a_o piece_n of_o bread_n wherein_o they_o say_v and_o unsay_v at_o once_o so_o likewise_o they_o worship_v and_o serve_v and_o pray_v to_o that_o which_o i_o have_v demonstrate_v to_o be_v a_o bit_n of_o bread_n as_o if_o it_o be_v a_o god_n and_o immediate_o they_o undo_v all_o that_o they_o have_v do_v and_o treat_v he_o not_o at_o all_o like_a a_o god_n but_o eat_v he_o up_o as_o if_o he_o be_v a_o bit_n of_o bread._n so_o also_o they_o say_v express_o that_o the_o common_a nature_n of_o mankind_n abhor_v the_o eat_n of_o man_n flesh_n and_o drink_v of_o man_n blood_n and_o yet_o they_o eat_v and_o drink_v that_o of_o which_o they_o say_v they_o have_v

a_o thousand_o million_o of_o contradiction_n must_v be_v all_o of_o they_o true_a so_o that_o if_o the_o apostle_n rend_v their_o clothes_n when_o the_o lucaonians_n say_v that_o the_o god_n be_v

too_o if_o they_o shall_v be_v show_v more_o than_o a_o hundred_o god-almighties_a together_o in_o the_o form_n of_o bread_n and_o shall_v see_v divine_a worship_n pay_v to_o they_o especial_o since_o the_o apostle_n evangelize_v man_n to_o turn_v away_o from_o idolatry_n to_o the_o live_a god_n who_o make_v heaven_n and_o earth_n if_o moreover_o the_o papist_n shall_v plead_v gospel_n for_o their_o idolatry_n and_o say_v that_o they_o be_v evangelize_v into_o it_o i_o have_v often_o think_v what_o st._n paul_n and_o barnabas_n will_v have_v say_v and_o do_v in_o that_o case_n but_o what_o they_o then_o cry_v out_o and_o say_v to_o the_o lycaonian_o sir_n why_o do_v you_o these_o thing_n for_o we_o be_v man_n of_o like_a passion_n with_o you_o methinks_v the_o host_n itself_o say_v as_o loud_a every_o day_n to_o the_o papist_n sir_n why_o do_v you_o these_o thing_n for_o i_o be_o no_o object_n of_o worship_n but_o like_o another_o piece_n of_o bread._n i_o have_v all_o the_o property_n and_o be_o subject_a to_o all_o the_o casualty_n of_o any_o other_o bit_n of_o bread_n for_o either_o i_o be_o present_o eat_v and_o swallow_v down_o as_o any_o other_o bread_n be_v

to_o as_o good_a purpose_n as_o the_o lycaonian_o do_v i_o shall_v be_v content_a to_o endure_v great_a hardship_n to_o see_v that_o happy_a day_n and_o now_o o_o you_o papist_n i_o have_v discharge_v
