this_o doctrine_n the_o four_o point_n which_o the_o doctor_n accuse_v the_o lord_n primate_n not_o to_o hold_v according_a to_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v that_o of_o the_o true_a and_o

second_o by_o that_o passage_n in_o the_o public_a catechism_n in_o which_o the_o party_n catechise_v be_v teach_v to_o say_v that_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n be_v very_o and_o indeed_o

in_o very_a deed_n by_o god_n faithful_a people_n by_o which_o it_o seem_v it_o be_v agree_v on_o both_o side_n that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n that_o there_o be_v a_o true_a and_o real_a presence_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o holy_a eucharist_n the_o disagreement_n be_v only_o in_o the_o modus_fw-la praesentiae_fw-la but_o on_o the_o contrary_a the_o ld_n primate_n in_o his_o answer_n to_o the_o jesuit_n challenge_v have_v write_v one_o whole_a chapter_n against_o the_o real_a presence_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o sacrament_n in_o which_o

presence_n be_v no_o more_o than_o this_o viz._n that_o in_o the_o receive_n of_o the_o bless_a sacrament_n we_o be_v to_o distinguish_v between_o the_o outward_a and_o the_o inward_a action_n of_o the_o communicant_a in_o the_o outward_a with_o our_o bodily_a mouth_n we_o receive_v real_o the_o visible_a element_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n in_o the_o inward_a we_o do_v by_o faith_n real_o

but_o a_o mere_a 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d a_o strife_n about_o word_n and_o that_o the_o lord_n primate_n hold_v and_o believe_v this_o doctrine_n in_o the_o same_o sense_n with_o the_o church_n of_o england_n 1._o then_o the_o 29_o article_n of_o our_o church_n disavow_v all_o transubstantiation_n or_o the_o change_n of_o the_o substance_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n in_o the_o supper_n of_o the_o lord_n the_o second_o assert_n that_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n be_v give_v take_v and_o eat_v in_o the_o supper_n only_o after_o a_o heavenly_a and_o spiritual_a manner_n and_o that_o the_o mean_v whereby_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n be_v receive_v and_o eat_v in_o the_o supper_n be_v faith_n and_o now_o i_o will_v leave_v it_o to_o the_o unprejudiced_a reader_n to_o judge_v whether_o the_o lord_n primat_n way_n of_o explain_v this_o sacrament_n according_a to_o the_o passage_n before_o cite_v by_o the_o doctor_n do_v differ_v in_o sense_n from_o these_o article_n however_o it_o may_v somewhat_o in_o word_n as_o come_v near_o the_o article_n in_o ireland_n which_o the_o bishop_n when_o he_o write_v this_o book_n have_v alone_o subscribe_v to_o and_o be_v bind_v to_o maintain_v for_o i_o think_v no_o true_a son_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n will_v deny_v that_o in_o this_o sacrament_n they_o still_o real_o receive_v the_o visible_a element_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n 2._o that_o in_o the_o inward_a and_o spiritual_a action_n we_o real_o receive_v the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o our_o lord_n as_o the_o lord_n primate_n have_v before_o lay_v down_o but_o perhaps_o it_o will_v be_v say_v that_o the_o lord_n primate_n go_v further_a in_o this_o article_n than_o the_o church_n of_o england_n do_v and_o take_v upon_o he_o to_o explain_v in_o what_o

christ_n be_v eat_v only_o after_o a_o heavenly_a and_o spiritual_a manner_n yet_o still_o maintain_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n to_o be_v eat_v whereas_o the_o lord_n primate_n only_o say_v that_o

and_o blood_n of_o christ._n but_o i_o desire_v the_o objector_n to_o consider_v whether_o the_o explanation_n of_o our_o church_n do_v not_o amount_v to_o the_o same_o thing_n in_o effect_n that_o
