satisfy_v the_o hunger_n and_o quench_v the_o thirst_n which_o we_o have_v after_o christ_n i_o confess_v but_o it_o be_v by_o faith_n as_o by_o the_o proper_a and_o formal_a cause_n of_o satisfy_v

the_o consequence_n follow_v therefore_o i_o say_v although_o not_o only_a faith_n but_o also_o hope_v and_o charity_n be_v requisite_a condition_n wiihout_v which_o no_o body_n can_v have_v the_o

that_o glorify_a body_n that_o satisfy_v our_o spiritual_a hunger_n and_o quench_v our_o spiritual_a thirst_n and_o faith_n be_v only_o one_o of_o the_o requisite_a condition_n that_o christ_n body_n

that_o by_o such_o a_o action_n he_o forfeit_v his_o belief_n if_o so_o then_o he_o present_o become_v a_o heretic_n for_o heresy_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o forfeiture_n of_o belief_n in_o a_o

of_o charity_n and_o all_o other_o virtue_n neither_o be_v it_o to_o be_v doubt_v but_o christ_n body_n when_o worthy_o receive_v by_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o body_n do_v work_v spiritual_o upon_o the_o soul_n which_o i_o prove_v thus_o because_o where_o christ_n glorify_a body_n be_v real_o present_a there_o be_v his_o divinity_n humanity_n and_o person_n also_o by_o concomitance_n and_o where_o his_o person_n be_v there_o the_o person_n of_o the_o father_n and_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v by_o circumincession_n as_o divi●…s_n ●…all_v it_o but_o where_o the_o divinity_n personal_o i●…abits_v it_o replenish_v and_o satiat_v that_o soul_n and_o body_n with_o spiritual_a food_n and_o joy_n therefore_o whosoever_o take_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n worthy_o and_o put_v no_o obstacle_n to_o its_o spiritual_a operation_n he_o be_v satiate_v spiritual_o with_o the_o the_o same_o body_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o concomitance_n of_o the_o divinity_n and_o soul_n of_o christ_n that_o always_o accompany_v his_o glorify_a body_n as_o also_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o circumincession_n of_o all_o the_o three_o person_n of_o the_o most_o bless_a trinity_n inhabit_v the_o soul._n but_o now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o his_o second_o argument_n which_o be_v this_o rodon_n 2._o jesus_n christ_n say_v he_o that_o eat_v my_o flesh_n and_o drink_v my_o blood_n have_v eternal_a life_n and_o except_o you_o eat_v the_o flesh_n of_o the_o son_n of_o man_n &_o drink_v his_o blood_n you_o have_v no_o life_n in_o you_o john_n 6._o but_o it_o be_v the_o spiritual_a eat_n and_o drink_v by_o faith_n that_o give_v life_n everlasting_a and_o not_o the_o corporal_a eat_n and_o drink_v by_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o body_n because_o many_o reprobate_n according_a to_o the_o very_a doctrine_n of_o rome_n it_o itself_o do_v corporal_o eat_v the_o flesh_n and_o drink_v the_o blood_n of_o christ_n and_o yet_o shall_v not_o inherit_v eternal_a life_n answ._n to_o this_o argument_n i_o answer_v deny_v mr._n the_o rodon_n supposition_n viz._n that_o the_o soul_n eat_v spiritual_o by_o faith_n for_o faith_n be_v no_o mouth_n of_o the_o soul_n in_o any_o sense_n as_o i_o prove_v before_o and_o nothing_o be_v able_a to_o eat_v proper_o or_o improper_o without_o a_o proper_a or_o improper_a mouth_n it_o follow_v that_o the_o soul_n can_v eat_v by_o the_o mouth_n of_o faith_n beside_o the_o angel_n do_v eat_v of_o this_o celestial_a food_n not_o with_o the_o mouth_n of_o faith_n for_o there_o be_v no_o faith_n in_o heaven_n but_o a_o clear_a vision_n therefore_o the_o thing_n that_o seed_n the_o soul_n spiritual_o be_v the_o real_a substance_n of_o christ_n body_n receive_v by_o the_o corporal_a mouth_n of_o he_o that_o be_v in_o the_o state_n of_o grace_n while_o he_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n which_o real_a substance_n of_o christ_n body_n work_v spiritual_o upon_o the_o soul_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o concomitance_n of_o christ_n divinity_n and_o soul_n and_o of_o the_o circumincession_n of_o the_o other_o two_o divine_a person_n with_o christ_n person_n there_o real_o present_a with_o the_o substance_n of_o his_o body_n however_o i_o confess_v faith_n and_o the_o other_o theological_a virtue_n be_v condition_n requisite_a for_o one_o to_o be_v say_v spiritual_o and_o i_o confess_v also_o that_o a_o reprobate_n can_v take_v the_o real_a body_n of_o christ_n by_o his_o corporal_a mouth_n without_o any_o spiritual_a nourishment_n or_o satisfaction_n but_o the_o fault_n be_v in_o he_o not_o in_o the_o sacrament_n which_o always_o operate_v spiritual_o in_o such_o soul_n as_o be_v well_o dispose_v by_o faith_n and_o the_o other_o theological_a virtue_n to_o receive_v it_o
therefore_o what_o the_o mounsieur_fw-fr object_n concern_v eat_v christ_n body_n corporal_o by_o reprobat_n be_v to_o no_o purpose_n for_o we_o confess_v that_o to_o eat_v he_o corporal_o only_o without_o faith_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o theological_a virtue_n bring_v rather_o eternal_a damnation_n then_o eternal_a life_n to_o the_o soul_n and_o yet_o we_o still_o deny_v that_o he_o be_v eat_v spiritual_o by_o the_o mouth_n of_o faith_n alone_o or_o that_o there_o be_v any_o such_o thing_n as_o mouth_n of_o faith_n rodon_n 3._o his_o three_o argument_n he_o take_v from_o s._n augustine_n and_o cardinal_n caietan_n who_o expound_v he_o say_v the_o word_n of_o jesus_n christ_n as_o he_o do_v s._n augustine_n in_o book_n 3._o of_o christian_a doctrine_n speak_v thus_o to_o eat_v the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n be_v a_o figure_n teach_v we_o to_o partake_v of_o christ_n passion_n and_o to_o imprint_v in_o our_o memory_n with_o delight_n and_o profit_n that_o christ_n be_v crucify_v for_o we_o cardinal_n caietan_n in_o his_o commentary_n on_o s._n john_n 6._o say_v to_o eat_v the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n and_o drink_v his_o blood_n be_v faith_n in_o christ_n death_n so_o that_o the_o sense_n be_v this_o if_o you_o use_v not_o the_o death_n of_o the_o son_n of_o man_n as_o meat_n and_o drink_n you_o shall_v not_o have_v the_o life_n of_o the_o spirit_n in_o you_o and_o have_v sufficient_o prove_v this_o exposition_n he_o add_v to_o eat_v and_o drink_v the_o sacrament_n be_v a_o thing_n common_a as_o well_o to_o those_o that_o eat_v unworthy_o as_o to_o those_o that_o eat_v worthy_o but_o that_o which_o jesus_n christ_n here_o speak_v of_o be_v not_o common_a to_o both_o for_o he_o faith_n he_o that_o eat_v my_o flesh_n and_o drink_v my_o blood_n have_v

his_o opinion_n concern_v the_o real_a presence_n be_v the_o same_o we_o be_v and_o that_o he_o die_v in_o it_o therefore_o if_o he_o be_v of_o any_o authority_n with_o mr._n de_fw-fr rodon_n he_o ought_v to_o understand_v he_o according_a to_o his_o meaning_n the_o word_n be_v these_o but_o if_o right_o understand_v and_o according_a to_o his_o meaning_n not_o at_o all_o against_o we_o to_o

as_o meat_n and_o drink_n you_o shall_v not_o have_v the_o life_n of_o the_o spirit_n in_o you_o the_o acute_a cardinal_n meaning_n be_v to_o expound_v the_o true_a meaning_n and_o sense_n of_o these_o word_n be_v say_v in_o christ_n death_n and_o also_o to_o instruct_v people_n how_o to_o receive_v this_o sacrament_n with_o profit_n to_o their_o soul_n therefore_o he_o say_v that_o the_o sense_n of_o those_o word_n be_v to_o use_v the_o death_n of_o the_o son_n of_o man_n as_o meat_n and_o drink_n if_o we_o intend_v to_o receive_v profitable_o and_o what_o else_o be_v it_o to_o use_v the_o death_n of_o the_o son_n of_o man_n as_o meat_n and_o drink_n but_o to_o ruminate_v and_o meditate_v upon_o his_o death_n so_o that_o the_o cardinal_n meaning_n be_v that_o to_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n profitable_o when_o we_o eat_v and_o drink_v the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n we_o must_v do_v it_o in_o remembrance_n of_o his_o passion_n which_o be_v the_o self_n same_o thing_n

do_v clear_a his_o meaning_n for_o he_o know_v that_o to_o eat_v christ_n body_n corporal_o be_v a_o thing_n common_a as_o well_o to_o the_o reprobate_a as_o to_o the_o elect_a he_o tell_v we_o that_o to_o eat_v it_o profitable_o we_o must_v believe_v it_o to_o be_v a_o rememorative_n of_o christ_n death_n and_o that_o by_o so_o eat_v it_o we_o eat_v and_o ruminate_v upon_o his_o death_n therefore_o although_o we_o confess_v that_o faith_n be_v necessary_a in_o he_o that_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n to_o take_v it_o worthy_o and_o profitable_o yet_o we_o deny_v that_o faith_n be_v
