heaven_n and_o sit_v on_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o god._n and_o there_o st._n stephen_n afterward_o see_v he_o act_v 7._o 56._o in_o which_o place_n as_o st._n peter_n testify_v act_v 3._o 21._o he_o

ability_n and_o on_o this_o account_n though_o john_n baptist_n tell_v the_o jew_n matth._n 3._o 9_o that_o god_n be_v able_a of_o the_o stone_n of_o the_o earth_n to_o raise_v up_o child_n unto_o

world_n be_v fill_v with_o absurdity_n and_o yet_o all_o pass_v for_o miracle_n but_o if_o we_o consult_v the_o sacred_a write_n we_o shall_v find_v that_o though_o god_n be_v sufficient_o declare_v to_o be_v omnipotent_a yet_o he_o never_o act_v any_o thing_n contrary_a to_o himself_o his_o power_n never_o appear_v contrary_a to_o his_o will._n now_o in_o the_o present_a case_n if_o we_o believe_v the_o scripture_n to_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o that_o his_o will_n be_v declare_v in_o his_o word_n it_o sufficient_o appear_v that_o christ_n must_v be_v corporal_o present_a in_o heaven_n till_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n and_o then_o to_o say_v that_o he_o be_v corporal_o present_a on_o earth_n too_o and_o in_o so_o many_o thousand_o place_n at_o the_o same_o time_n because_o nothing_o be_v impossible_a with_o god_n be_v to_o say_v in_o effect_n that_o god_n to_o show_v his_o power_n do_v some_o thing_n which_o be_v repugnant_a to_o his_o will_n and_o to_o preserve_v the_o prerogative_n of_o his_o omnipotence_n inviolate_a will_v upon_o occasion_n contradict_v his_o own_o word_n but_o the_o apostle_n have_v no_o such_o thought_n some_o of_o they_o see_v

whence_o i_o think_v it_o plain_o appear_v that_o eat_v christ_n flesh_n and_o believe_v on_o he_o be_v only_a term_n use_v promiscuous_o one_o for_o tother_o and_o so_o make_v nothing_o at_o all_o for_o transubstantiation_n but_o the_o chief_a of_o the_o argument_n be_v to_o come_v verse_n 52_o etc._n etc._n the_o jew_n therefore_o strive_v among_o themselves_o say_v how_o can_v this_o man_n give_v we_o his_o flesh_n to_o eat_v then_o jesus_n say_v unto_o they_o very_o very_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o except_o you_o eat_v the_o flesh_n of_o the_o son_n of_o man_n and_o drink_v his_o blood_n you_o have_v no_o life_n in_o you_o whoso_o eat_v my_o flesh_n and_o drink_v my_o blood_n have_v eternal_a life_n and_o i_o will_v raise_v he_o up_o at_o the_o last_o day_n for_o my_o flesh_n be_v

eat_v manna_n and_o be_v dead_a he_o that_o eat_v of_o this_o bread_n shall_v live_v for_o ever_o perhaps_o you_o may_v think_v madam_n that_o these_o reiterated_a expression_n be_v indication_n plain_a enough_o that_o our_o saviour_n here_o intend_v transubstantiation_n but_o i_o assure_v you_o they_o mean_v nothing_o less_o for_o first_o he_o say_v except_o you_o eat_v the_o flesh_n of_o the_o son_n of_o man_n and_o drink_v his_o blood_n you_o have_v no_o life_n in_o you_o and_o on_o the_o contrary_a whoso_o eat_v his_o flesh_n and_o drink_v his_o blood_n have_v eternal_a life_n and_o he_o will_v raise_v he_o up_o at_o the_o last_o day_n now_o if_o our_o saviour_n speak_v all_o this_o of_o his_o natural_a flesh_n and_o blood_n with_o which_o he_o be_v clothe_v and_o which_o be_v nail_v to_o the_o cross_n and_o split_v on_o the_o ground_n and_o last_o which_o he_o carry_v with_o he_o into_o heaven_n and_o if_o according_a to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o transubstantiation_n his_o natural_a flesh_n and_o blood_n be_v as_o real_o eat_v and_o drink_v in_o the_o lord_n supper_n then_o all_o man_n bad_a as_o well_o as_o good_a nay_o any_o live_a creature_n that_o be_v but_o capable_a of_o eat_v and_o drink_v may_v be_v in_o as_o fair_a a_o way_n to_o heaven_n as_o the_o devout_a professor_n of_o christianity_n for_o if_o eat_v the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n will_v carry_v one_o to_o heaven_n give_v a_o dog_n a_o piece_n of_o the_o transubstantiated_a bread_n and_o why_o may_v not_o he_o by_o eat_v it_o go_v thither_o too_o however_o to_o seclude_v beast_n it_o will_v be_v a_o bless_a world_n certain_o if_o the_o worst_a of_o man_n be_v in_o as_o sure_a a_o way_n to_o salvation_n as_o the_o best_a which_o must_v be_v if_o the_o doctrine_n of_o transubstantiation_n and_o our_o saviour_n word_n hold_v together_o for_o he_o say_v his_o flesh_n be_v meat_n indeed_o and_o his_o blood_n be_v drink_v indeed_o and_o transubstantiation_n give_v all_o man_n the_o real_a flesh_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n and_o by_o eat_v and_o drink_v they_o we_o get_v salvation_n which_o be_v here_o call_v eternal_a life_n but_o second_o he_o that_o eat_v christ_n flesh_n and_o drink_v his_o blood_n dwell_v in_o christ_n and_o christ_n in_o he_o now_o can_v christ_n dwell_v in_o a_o wicked_a man_n or_o unbeliever_n what_o fellowship_n have_v christ_n with_o

belial_n three_o this_o be_v that_o bread_n which_o come_v down_o from_o heaven_n not_o as_o our_o father_n do_v eat_v manna_n and_o be_v dead_a he_o that_o eat_v of_o this_o bread_n shall_v live_v for_o ever_o whence_o observe_v if_o one_o thing_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v according_a to_o the_o letter_n another_o be_v also_o and_o then_o if_o the_o letter_n intend_v transubstantiation_n according_a to_o the_o letter_n likewise_o they_o who_o eat_v the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n present_o become_v immortal_a and_o thus_o the_o jew_n understand_v our_o saviour_n when_o they_o cry_v out_o lord_n evermore_o give_v we_o of_o this_o bread_n verse_n 34._o but_o it_o be_v appoint_v for_o all_o man_n once_o to_o die_v therefore_o eat_v the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n and_o drink_v his_o blood_n can_v mean_v nothing_o but_o our_o feed_n on_o he_o by_o faith_n unto_o salvation_n and_o if_o by_o eat_v the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n and_o drink_v his_o blood_n we_o shall_v live_v for_o ever_o and_o yet_o no_o man_n can_v be_v save_v unless_o he_o believe_v in_o he_o either_o our_o saviour_n must_v be_v think_v to_o contradict_v himself_o or_o else_o this_o overthrow_v the_o doctrine_n of_o transubstantiation_n and_o prove_v that_o we_o only_o eat_v and_o drink_v the_o flesh_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n by_o faith._n and_o i_o appeal_v to_o yourself_o madam_n to_o judge_v which_o of_o the_o two_o it_o be_v most_o reasonable_a to_o believe_v but_o that_o what_o our_o saviour_n say_v here_o be_v not_o to_o be_v understand_v according_a to_o the_o letter_n will_v appear_v if_o we_o pursue_v it_o a_o little_a far_o verse_n 60._o many_o therefore_o of_o his_o disciple_n when_o they_o hear_v this_o say_v this_o be_v a_o hard_a say_v who_o can_v hear_v it_o when_o jesus_n know_v in_o himself_o that_o his_o disciple_n murmur_v at_o it_o he_o say_v unto_o they_o do_v this_o offend_v you_o what_o and_o if_o you_o shall_v see_v the_o son_n of_o man_n ascend_v up_o where_o he_o be_v before_o it_o be_v the_o spirit_n that_o quicken_v the_o flesh_n profit_v nothing_o the_o word_n that_o i_o speak_v unto_o you_o they_o be_v spirit_n and_o they_o be_v life_n but_o there_o be_v some_o of_o you_o that_o believe_v not_o from_o all_o which_o i_o can_v tell_v you_o madam_n and_o upon_o good_a ground_n too_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o this_o chapter_n or_o very_o little_a at_o most_o touch_v the_o eucharist_n but_o all_o that_o our_o saviour_n say_v concern_v his_o flesh_n and_o blood_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v of_o his_o exemplary_a life_n and_o wholesome_a doctrine_n which_o be_v meat_n and_o drink_v indeed_o but_o suppose_v the_o whole_a discourse_n to_o be_v upon_o that_o subject_n yet_o there_o can_v be_v nothing_o of_o transubstantiation_n contain_v in_o it_o which_o will_v yet_o more_o full_o appear_v by_o consider_v how_o often_o he_o urge_v the_o necessity_n of_o believe_v on_o he_o in_o order_n to_o salvation_n verse_n 29._o this_o say_v he_o
