question_n of_o transubstantiation_n of_o which_o if_o you_o make_v good_a use_n i_o shall_v proceed_v to_o the_o latter_a yet_o i_o defer_v the_o thing_n till_o i_o can_v learn_v that_o the_o person_n on_o who_o ability_n you_o lean_a viz._n mr._n g._n be_v return_v from_o london_n that_o he_o may_v be_v near_o at_o hand_n to_o furnish_v you_o with_o answer_n to_o the_o intent_n i_o shall_v not_o be_v calumniate_v as_o a_o designer_n to_o surprise_v and_o lurch_v you_o wherefore_o i_o now_o send_v these_o few_o line_n to_o desire_v you_o to_o provide_v yourself_o of_o a_o satisfactory_a resolution_n about_o this_o question_n or_o let_v i_o receive_v intimation_n how_o that_o satisfaction_n do_v arise_v i_o abridge_v you_o not_o of_o liberty_n to_o consult_v with_o any_o other_o person_n that_o may_v add_v any_o thing_n to_o mr._n g._n for_o i_o love_v truth_n and_o be_o loath_a you_o shall_v be_v carry_v away_o with_o falsehood_n and_o nothing_o will_v more_o content_v i_o than_o to_o receive_v a_o answer_n of_o weight_n to_o this_o paper_n which_o shall_v at_o this_o time_n only_o touch_v a_o few_o doubt_n many_o more_o be_v reserve_v to_o be_v propose_v when_o these_o be_v clear_v at_o present_a i_o must_v tell_v you_o 1._o what_o you_o be_v or_o must_v be_v teach_v to_o believe_v 2_o how_o hard_o it_o will_v be_v for_o you_o to_o believe_v what_o you_o shall_v be_v so_o teach_v in_o the_o former_a i_o will_v note_v the_o doctrine_n teach_v and_o the_o method_n of_o teach_v they_o the_o latter_a viz._n the_o method_n i_o begin_v with_o that_o you_o may_v believe_v your_o mind_n must_v be_v abstract_v as_o much_o as_o possible_a it_o may_v from_o the_o judgement_n of_o your_o own_o sense_n now_o this_o method_n will_v be_v hard_a for_o you_o to_o submit_v to_o when_o you_o consider_v that_o it_o be_v about_o their_o proper_a object_n and_o your_o sense_n due_o dispose_v to_o give_v their_o judgement_n and_o the_o common_a sense_n of_o mankind_n concur_v with_o you_o but_o yet_o this_o will_v be_v yet_o hard_o to_o digest_v 1.1_o john_n 20.27_o 1_o john_n 1.1_o see_v this_o new_a method_n be_v direct_o contrary_a to_o the_o method_n which_o christ_n use_v to_o instruct_v thomas_n which_o be_v not_o to_o abstract_n his_o mind_n from_o the_o judgement_n of_o his_o sense_n but_o to_o employ_v his_o mind_n about_o the_o judgement_n of_o his_o sense_n the_o method_n also_o of_o st._n john_n be_v not_o to_o abstract_n from_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o sense_n but_o he_o appeal_v to_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o sense_n to_o beget_v and_o confirm_v faith_n hence_o therefore_o the_o first_o question_n will_v arise_v 1._o quest_n why_o the_o method_n of_o your_o new_a teacher_n be_v so_o opposite_a to_o the_o method_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n now_o to_o the_o doctrine_n teach_v three_o thing_n most_o admirable_a be_v effect_v in_o the_o eucharist_n by_o the_o word_n of_o consecration_n which_o the_o catholic_n faith_n believe_v and_o confess_v without_o any_o doubt_n 1._o that_o the_o true_a body_n of_o christ_n even_o the_o same_o which_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o virgin_n and_o now_o sit_v in_o heaven_n at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o the_o father_n be_v contain_v in_o the_o sacrament_n 2._o that_o no_o substance_n of_o the_o element_n remain_v in_o it_o 3._o that_o the_o accident_n which_o be_v perceive_v by_o the_o sense_n be_v in_o a_o wonderful_a and_o inexplicable_a manner_n without_o any_o subject_a matter_n the_o substance_n of_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n be_v so_o change_v that_o they_o whole_o cease_v to_o be_v but_o the_o accident_n even_o all_o of_o they_o of_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n you_o may_v see_v and_o perceive_v which_o inhere_o in_o no_o substance_n but_o consist_v by_o themselves_o the_o proof_n of_o this_o follow_v now_o the_o word_n of_o christ_n be_v so_o plain_a in_o this_o matter_n that_o none_o in_o his_o sound_a mind_n can_v be_v ignorant_a what_o he_o must_v understand_v when_o he_o hear_v this_o be_v my_o body_n also_o the_o word_n of_o paul_n be_v plain_a 1_o cor._n 11._o let_v a_o man_n examine_v etc._n etc._n he_o that_o eatech_v and_o drink_v unworthy_o eat_v and_o drink_v damnation_n to_o himself_o not_o discern_v the_o lord_n body_n for_o what_o need_n be_v there_o of_o such_o weighty_a word_n if_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o the_o sacrament_n but_o a_o memory_n and_o sign_n of_o christ_n passion_n as_o heretic_n teach_v the_o same_o thing_n paul_n more_o at_o large_a explain_v in_o these_o word_n the_o cup_n of_o blessing_n which_o we_o bless_v be_v it_o not_o the_o communication_n of_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n you_o hear_v the_o doctrine_n and_o the_o proof_n of_o it_o from_o christ_n and_o paul_n now_o for_o the_o explication_n of_o these_o word_n to_o make_v out_o the_o proof_n these_o place_n of_o scripture_n must_v be_v so_o explain_v by_o the_o pastor_n and_o this_o must_v chief_o be_v teach_v that_o nothing_o of_o doubtfulness_n or_o uncertainty_n be_v leave_v of_o what_o be_v abovesaid_a especial_o when_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n of_o god_n have_v interpret_v these_o thing_n the_o knowledge_n of_o which_o we_o attain_v two_o way_n 1._o when_o we_o consult_v with_o the_o father_n who_o flourish_v from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o church_n and_o so_o downward_o 2._o when_o we_o see_v the_o contrary_a opinion_n condemn_v this_o doctrine_n thus_o prove_v by_o scripture_n and_o the_o scripture_n they_o explain_v you_o must_v believe_v now_o to_o show_v how_o hard_o it_o will_v be_v for_o you_o to_o believe_v this_o these_o follow_a question_n be_v propose_v 1._o quest_n whether_o the_o word_n of_o christ_n be_v spiritual_a it_o may_v not_o suffice_v to_o take_v they_o in_o a_o spiritual_a sense_n but_o it_o be_v necessary_a to_o take_v they_o in_o the_o literal_a sense_n of_o his_o natural_a body_n and_o that_o without_o a_o figure_n 2._o quest_n whether_o the_o first_o article_n be_v not_o sufficient_o believe_v when_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n be_v believe_v to_o be_v real_o true_o present_a even_o the_o same_o body_n but_o not_o in_o the_o same_o manner_n 3._o quest_n whether_o the_o second_o and_o three_o article_n be_v of_o equal_a truth_n and_o certainty_n with_o the_o first_o and_o must_v so_o be_v believe_v 4._o quest_n whether_o the_o word_n cite_v for_o proof_n be_v intend_v to_o prove_v all_o three_o article_n equal_o or_o the_o first_o only_o and_o the_o second_o and_o three_o be_v leave_v to_o shift_v for_o themselves_o 5._o quest_n whether_o every_o one_o in_o his_o wit_n can_v see_v such_o enforcement_n in_o the_o word_n of_o christ_n or_o paul_n without_o the_o especial_a help_n of_o the_o church_n authority_n and_o the_o father_n 6._o quest_n if_o not_o then_o whether_o reason_n will_v that_o not_o the_o church_n in_o the_o apostle_n time_n shall_v be_v principal_o hear_v in_o this_o authoritative_a interpretation_n 7._o quest_n whether_o you_o be_v true_o teach_v that_o we_o heretic_n say_v that_o in_o the_o sacrament_n there_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o memory_n and_o a_o sign_n of_o christ_n passion_n and_o whether_o the_o father_n that_o prove_v there_o be_v something_o more_o and_o condemn_v such_o as_o say_v there_o be_v nothing_o more_o do_v prove_v any_o thing_n against_o we_o or_o do_v condemn_v we_o i_o shall_v now_o think_v it_o reasonable_a to_o request_v of_o you_o to_o return_v to_o we_o until_o these_o difficulty_n be_v overcome_v but_o if_o mr._n g._n will_v not_o yield_v to_o this_o request_n than_o i_o pray_v you_o improve_v all_o your_o interest_n with_o he_o for_o some_o satisfaction_n for_o yourself_o and_o i_o what_o be_v his_o true_a and_o serious_a sense_n of_o this_o whole_a matter_n and_o put_v he_o to_o it_o on_o his_o own_o behalf_n in_o this_o manner_n viz._n sir_n see_v if_o i_o eat_v unworthy_o i_o eat_v judgement_n to_o myself_o if_o i_o discern_v not_o the_o lord_n body_n in_o eat_v i_o eat_v unworthy_o if_o i_o discern_v not_o the_o very_a same_o body_n form_v in_o the_o womb_n etc._n etc._n if_o i_o discern_v not_o accident_n without_o a_o substance_n etc._n etc._n i_o discern_v not_o the_o lord_n body_n therefore_o that_o i_o may_v be_v confirm_v i_o beseech_v you_o assure_v i_o concern_v yourself_o who_o be_v strong_a in_o faith_n whereas_o i_o be_o but_o weak_a yourself_o who_o know_v your_o own_o intention_n in_o consecrate_v whereas_o i_o know_v it_o not_o yourself_o who_o have_v look_v upon_o and_o examine_v the_o element_n that_o they_o be_v not_o corrupt_v whereas_o i_o have_v not_o yourself_o who_o have_v utter_v the_o word_n of_o consecration_n whereas_o i_o perhaps_o hear_v not_o perhaps_o understand_v not_o i_o say_v that_o you_o yourself_o be_v so_o right_a in_o your_o wit_n as_o to_o perceive_v
