thus_o a_o man_n may_v reason_v he_o that_o have_v christ_n have_v eternal_a life_n but_o he_o that_o receive_v christ_n very_o &_o true_o as_o all_o the_o wicked_a do_v in_o the_o sacrament_n by_o

this_o two_o thing_n first_o that_o the_o wicked_a receive_v christ_n only_o sacramental_o and_o not_o spiritual_o and_o therefore_o they_o have_v no_o benefit_n by_o he_o and_o second_o because_o

that_o though_o they_o receive_v sacramental_o and_o unworthy_o yet_o by_o their_o doctrine_n they_o receive_v u●ry_n christ_n and_o so_o by_o these_o scripture_n it_o must_v needs_o follow_v that_o they_o also_o receive_v the_o fruit_n and_o effect_n of_o his_o death_n which_o be_v life_n and_o salvation_n add_v hereunto_o that_o the_o term_n here_o use_v be_v general_a both_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o person_n that_o receive_v and_o also_o the_o manner_n of_o receive_v without_o any_o such_o exception_n or_o distinction_n as_o they_o devise_v and_o therefore_o i_o conclude_v that_o it_o be_v as_o impossible_a to_o make_v a_o separation_n betwixt_o christ_n and_o his_o save_a grace_n as_o to_o separate_v the_o sun_n from_o light_n fire_n from_o heat_n or_o the_o soul_n from_o

pass_v over_o all_o which_o be_v contrary_a to_o that_o romish_a position_n that_o the_o wicked_a eat_v and_o drink_v the_o very_a body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n which_o they_o must_v needs_o do_v if_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n after_o the_o word_n of_o consecration_n be_v change_v into_o the_o very_a body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n 27._o last_o it_o be_v contrary_a to_o their_o own_o

be_v to_o the_o whole_a word_n of_o consecration_n together_o with_o the_o sense_n thereof_o the_o matter_n be_v the_o whole_a element_n with_o the_o signification_n thereof_o as_o for_o example_n in_o the_o eucharist_n the_o matter_n be_v the_o species_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n contain_v under_o they_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o form_n be_v for_o this_o be_v my_o

difference_n betwixt_o the_o faithful_a and_o they_o for_o they_o receive_v no_o more_o and_o why_o shall_v not_o they_o be_v save_v then_o as_o well_o as_o they_o if_o they_o do_v not_o then_o either_o they_o receive_v not_o christ_n at_o all_o because_o we_o be_v sure_o they_o receive_v the_o outward_a element_n and_o therefore_o if_o any_o thing_n be_v want_v it_o must_v needs_o be_v the_o thing_n signify_v or_o there_o be_v more_o part_n than_o these_o two_o of_o the_o sacrament_n again_o thus_o if_o the_o wicked_a receive_v christ_n in_o the_o sacrament_n and_o yet_o not_o the_o

in_o the_o thing_n itself_o and_o so_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o wicked_a in_o the_o sacrament_n receive_v christ_n and_o yet_o not_o christ_n the_o whole_a sacrament_n and_o yet_o but_o a_o part_n of_o the_o sacrament_n and_o that_o there_o be_v but_o two_o part_n of_o it_o and_o yet_o more_o than_o two_o observe_v gentle_a reader_n these_o contradiction_n and_o wonder_n 28._o again_o
