must_v then_o follow_v that_o the_o body_n and_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n do_v bring_v in_o this_o sacrament_n against_o their_o nature_n death_n in_o steed_n of_o life_n which_o be_v also_o against_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o sacrament_n for_o it_o be_v not_o ordain_v to_o bring_v death_n to_o man_n but_o life_n whether_o a_o man_n may_v conclude_v of_o the_o word_n of_o saint_n paul_n that_o a_o man_n may_v receive_v the_o body_n and_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n in_o the_o supper_n to_o condemnation_n p._n thou_o conclude_v very_o well_o but_o they_o which_o hold_v the_o opinion_n against_o the_o which_o we_o dispute_v at_o this_o present_n make_v no_o difference_n to_o affirm_v that_o the_o infidel_n receive_v in_o the_o supper_n the_o body_n &_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n &_o that_o they_o receive_v they_o to_o their_o condemnation_n for_o they_o build_v themselves_o upon_o that_o which_o be_v paul_n have_v say_v that_o who_o so_o eat_v in_o the_o supper_n the_o bread_n &_o drink_v the_o wine_n of_o the_o lord_n unworthy_o g_o do_v eat_v and_o drink_v his_o condemnation_n m._n i_o know_v well_o that_o those_o man_n affirm_v that_o which_o thou_o say_v but_o i_o can_v well_o agree_v their_o opinion_n with_o the_o matter_n the_o which_o we_o have_v already_o handle_v and_o as_o touch_v that_o which_o they_o allege_v of_o s._n paul_n he_o say_v not_o who_o so_o shall_v eat_v the_o body_n and_o drink_v the_o blood_n unworthy_o shall_v receive_v his_o condemnation_n but_o he_o say_v he_o that_o shall_v eat_v of_o this_o bread_n &_o shall_v drink_v of_o this_o cup._n p._n thou_o have_v also_o to_o note_v beside_o this_o that_o there_o be_v difference_n between_o receive_v the_o supper_n unworthy_o &_o to_o receive_v it_o without_o faith_n and_o as_o touch_v the_o word_n of_o condemnation_n it_o may_v be_v also_o take_v in_o diverse_a manner_n but_o we_o will_v now_o no_o long_o dwell_v upon_o these_o two_o point_n it_o be_v sufficient_a for_o we_o to_o know_v that_o the_o body_n and_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n can_v be_v true_o receive_v but_o by_o the_o faithful_a of_o the_o principal_a difference_n that_o may_v be_v between_o the_o transubstantiation_n of_o the_o bread_n and_o of_o the_o wine_n into_o the_o body_n and_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o the_o bodily_a conjunction_n of_o they_o together_o m._n i_o do_v well_o understand_v by_o all_o the_o reason_n &_o testimony_n which_o thou_o have_v bring_v out_o of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n that_o we_o may_v seek_v no_o corporal_n nor_o carnal_a presence_n of_o jesus_n christ_n neither_o in_o the_o supper_n nor_o yet_o in_o all_o this_o visible_a world_n but_o only_o a_o spiritual_a and_o divine_a presence_n wherefore_o when_o i_o have_v well_o consider_v the_o whole_a i_o find_v no_o great_a difference_n between_o they_o that_o affirm_v that_o the_o bread_n and_o the_o wine_n be_v convert_v &_o transubstantiate_v into_o the_o body_n &_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n in_o the_o supper_n by_o the_o virtue_n of_o the_o sacramental_a word_n &_o those_o which_o affirm_v that_o albeit_o that_o the_o bread_n &_o the_o wine_n remain_v still_o in_o their_o own_o substance_n yet_o notwithstanding_o the_o body_n &_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v there_o also_o present_a with_o they_o in_o their_o proper_a and_o natural_a substance_n not_o only_o spiritual_o but_o also_o corporal_o &_o substantial_o as_o be_v the_o bread_n &_o the_o wine_n p._n there_o be_v no_o great_a difference_n but_o in_o that_o that_z the_o one_o sort_n think_v to_o avoid_v the_o absurdity_n which_o follow_v the_o opinion_n of_o the_o other_o do_v fall_n into_o other_o absurdity_n which_o be_v nothing_o less_o of_o the_o which_o we_o will_v no_o more_o speak_v here_o because_o the_o matter_n will_v be_v to_o long_o whereof_o we_o have_v already_o sufficient_o speak_v of_o the_o union_n that_o be_v between_o jesus_n christ_n and_o his_o member_n signify_v by_o the_o bread_n and_o the_o wine_n in_o the_o supper_n m._n i_o be_o very_a well_o content_v for_o this_o time_n with_o that_o which_o thou_o have_v say_v and_o therefore_o show_v i_o now_o what_o property_n the_o bread_n and_o the_o wine_n have_v yet_o which_o be_v agreeable_a to_o this_o sacrament_n of_o the_o supper_n beside_o that_o which_o thou_o have_v already_o say_v p._n i_o have_v already_o say_v that_o those_o sign_n be_v agreeable_a to_o this_o sacrament_n because_o they_o be_v apt_a to_o represent_v the_o spiritual_a nouriture_n by_o the_o bodily_a m._n i_o do_v very_o well_o remember_v this_o point_n p._n thou_o have_v also_o to_o note_v upon_o the_o same_o that_o as_o one_o loaf_n and_o one_o vessel_n of_o wine_n be_v make_v of_o many_o grain_n gather_v together_o even_o so_o do_v they_o in_o the_o supper_n represent_v unto_o we_o how_o that_o all_o the_o child_n of_o god_n which_o be_v disperse_v be_v gather_v &_o bring_v together_o in_o one_o and_o unite_v with_o jesus_n christ_n their_o head_n by_o his_o death_n g_o as_o saint_n john_n do_v witness_v m._n thou_o will_v then_o say_v that_o that_o union_n which_o be_v make_v of_o many_o grain_n in_o one_o loaf_n or_o in_o one_o wine_n
