because_o although_o there_o be_v many_o figurative_a expression_n in_o scripture_n which_o all_o man_n allow_v yet_o this_o in_o relation_n to_o the_o case_n in_o hand_n be_v not_o such_o 2._o although_o a_o sacrament_n admit_v of_o figure_n which_o no_o man_n be_v so_o absurd_a as_o to_o deny_v since_o it_o be_v of_o the_o very_a nature_n of_o a_o sacrament_n to_o represent_v and_o exhibit_v some_o invisible_a grace_n and_o benefit_n by_o a_o outward_a sign_n and_o figure_n yet_o the_o figure_n do_v not_o lie_v where_o the_o author_n pretend_v it_o do_v the_o rule_n which_o man_n ought_v to_o observe_v in_o their_o discourse_n in_o relation_n to_o figure_n be_v this_o that_o a_o figure_n shall_v not_o be_v use_v which_o the_o auditor_n do_v not_o easy_o apprehend_v to_o

figure_n according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o human_a discourse_n be_v very_o absurd_a yet_o such_o be_v the_o author_n instance_n from_o scripture_n from_o whence_o he_o allege_v that_o when_o our_o

natural_a organise_v and_o visible_a body_n be_v then_o whole_a and_o unbroken_a and_o its_o blood_n not_o then_o shed_v yet_o that_o very_a body_n as_o break_v in_o the_o sacrament_n be_v say_v to_o

with_o his_o own_o precious_a body_n exhibit_v under_o the_o species_n of_o bread_n in_o the_o bless_a sacrament_n and_o yet_o his_o body_n be_v still_o one_o and_o the_o same_o 22._o the_o latter_a
