deliverance_n of_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n out_o of_o egypt_n but_o a_o continuance_n of_o the_o covenant_n that_o moses_n make_v between_o god_n and_o they_o which_o distinguish_v they_o from_o all_o the_o nation_n round_o about_o they_o as_o well_o as_o the_o first_o passeover_n have_v distinguish_v they_o from_o the_o egyptian_n now_o it_o be_v a_o strange_a inference_n because_o the_o lamb_n be_v call_v the_o lord_n passeover_n that_o be_v the_o sacrifice_n upon_o the_o sprinkle_n of_o who_o blood_n the_o angel_n pass_v over_o or_o pass_v by_o the_o house_n of_o the_o israelite_n when_o he_o smite_v the_o first-born_a of_o the_o egyptian_n to_o say_v that_o there_o be_v a_o change_n of_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o lamb_n or_o because_o the_o real_a faith_n of_o a_o prince_n be_v give_v by_o his_o great_a seal_n print_v on_o wax_n and_o affix_v to_o a_o parchment_n that_o therefore_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o wax_n be_v change_v so_o it_o be_v no_o less_o absurd_a to_o imagine_v that_o because_o the_o bread_n and_o the_o wine_n be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n as_o break_v and_o shed_v that_o be_v his_o death_n really_n and_o effectual_o offer_v to_o we_o as_o our_o sacrifice_n that_o therefore_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n be_v change_v and_o thus_o upon_o the_o whole_a matter_n that_o which_o be_v present_a in_o the_o sacrament_n be_v christ_n dead_a and_o since_o his_o death_n be_v transact_v above_o 1600._o year_n ago_o the_o reality_n of_o his_o presence_n can_v be_v no_o other_o than_o a_o real_a offer_n of_o his_o death_n make_v to_o we_o in_o a_o institute_v and_o federal_a symbol_n i_o have_v explain_v this_o the_o more_o full_o because_o with_o this_o all_o the_o ambiguity_n in_o the_o use_n of_o that_o common_o receive_v phrase_n fall_v off_o iv_o as_o for_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o ancient_a church_n there_o have_v be_v so_o much_o say_v in_o this_o enquiry_n that_o a_o man_n can_v hope_v to_o add_v any_o new_a discovery_n to_o what_o have_v be_v already_o find_v out_o therefore_o i_o shall_v only_o endeavour_v to_o bring_v some_o of_o the_o most_o important_a observation_n into_o a_o narrow_a compass_n and_o to_o set_v they_o in_o a_o good_a light_n and_o shall_v first_o offer_v some_o general_a presumption_n to_o show_v that_o it_o be_v not_o like_a that_o this_o be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o primitive_a time_n and_o then_o some_o positive_a proof_n of_o it_o 1._o it_o be_v no_o slight_a presumption_n against_o it_o that_o we_o do_v not_o find_v the_o father_n take_v any_o pain_n to_o answer_v the_o objection_n that_o do_v natural_o arise_v out_o of_o the_o present_a doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n these_o objection_n do_v not_o arise_v out_o of_o profound_a study_n or_o great_a learning_n but_o from_o the_o plain_n dictate_v of_o common_a sense_n which_o make_v it_o hard_o to_o say_v no_o more_o for_o we_o to_o believe_v that_o a_o body_n can_v be_v in_o more_o place_n than_o one_o at_o once_o and_o that_o it_o can_v be_v in_o a_o place_n after_o the_o manner_n of_o a_o spirit_n that_o accident_n can_v be_v without_o their_o subject_n or_o that_o our_o sense_n can_v deceive_v we_o in_o the_o plain_a case_n we_o find_v the_o father_n explain_v some_o abstruse_a difficulty_n that_o arise_v out_o of_o other_o mystery_n that_o be_v less_o know_v and_o be_v more_o speculative_a and_o while_o they_o be_v think_v perhaps_o to_o overdo_v the_o one_o it_o be_v a_o little_a strange_a that_o they_o shall_v never_o touch_v the_o other_o but_o on_o the_o contrary_a when_o they_o treat_v of_o philosophical_a matter_n they_o express_v themselves_o roundly_o in_o opposition_n to_o those_o consequence_n of_o this_o doctrine_n whereas_o since_o this_o doctrine_n have_v be_v receive_v we_o see_v all_o the_o speculation_n of_o philosophy_n have_v be_v so_o manage_v as_o to_o keep_v a_o reserve_n for_o this_o doctrine_n so_o that_o the_o uncautious_a way_n in_o which_o the_o father_n be_v handle_v they_o in_o proof_n of_o which_o volume_n of_o quotation_n can_v be_v make_v show_v they_o have_v not_o then_o receive_v that_o doctrine_n which_o must_v of_o necessity_n give_v they_o occasion_n to_o write_v otherwise_o than_o they_o do_v 2._o we_o find_v the_o heathen_n study_v to_o load_v the_o christian_a religion_n with_o all_o the_o heavy_a imputation_n that_o they_o can_v give_v it_o they_o object_v to_o they_o the_o believe_v a_o god_n that_o be_v bear_v and_o that_o die_v and_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o dead_a and_o many_o lesser_a matter_n which_o seem_v absurd_a to_o they_o they_o have_v malice_n enough_o to_o seek_v out_o every_o thing_n that_o can_v disgrace_v a_o religion_n which_o grow_v too_o hard_o for_o they_o but_o they_o never_o once_o object_v this_o of_o make_v a_o god_n out_o of_o a_o piece_n of_o bread_n and_o then_o eat_v he_o if_o this_o have_v be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o those_o age_n the_o heathen_n chief_o celsus_n and_o porphiry_n but_o above_o all_o julian_n can_v not_o have_v be_v ignorant_a of_o it_o now_o it_o do_v not_o stand_v with_o common_a sense_n to_o think_v that_o those_o who_o insist_v much_o upon_o inconsiderable_a thing_n can_v have_v pass_v over_o this_o which_o be_v both_o so_o sensible_a and_o of_o such_o importance_n if_o it_o have_v be_v the_o receive_a belief_n of_o those_o age_n 3._o it_o be_v also_o of_o weight_n that_o there_o be_v no_o dispute_n nor_o heresy_n upon_o this_o point_n during_o the_o first_o age_n and_o that_o none_o of_o the_o heretic_n ever_o object_v it_o to_o the_o doctor_n of_o the_o church_n we_o find_v they_o contend_v about_o all_o other_o point_n now_o this_o have_v so_o many_o difficulty_n in_o it_o that_o it_o shall_v seem_v a_o little_a strange_a that_o all_o man_n understanding_n shall_v have_v be_v then_o so_o easy_a and_o consent_v that_o this_o be_v the_o single_a point_n of_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o divinity_n about_o which_o the_o church_n have_v no_o dispute_n for_o the_o first_o seven_o century_n it_o therefore_o incline_v a_o man_n rather_o to_o think_v that_o because_o there_o be_v no_o dispute_n concern_v it_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o then_o broach_v since_o we_o see_v plain_o that_o ever_o since_o it_o be_v broach_v in_o the_o west_n it_o have_v occasion_v last_v dispute_n both_o with_o those_o who_o can_v not_o be_v bring_v to_o believe_v it_o and_o with_o one_o another_o concern_v the_o several_a way_n of_o explain_v and_o maintain_v it_o 4._o it_o be_v also_o a_o strong_a prejudice_n against_o the_o antiquity_n of_o this_o doctrine_n that_o there_o be_v none_o of_o those_o rite_n in_o the_o first_o age_n which_o have_v creep_v in_o in_o the_o latter_a which_o be_v such_o natural_a consequence_n of_o it_o that_o the_o belief_n of_o the_o one_o make_v way_n for_o the_o other_o we_o may_v conclude_v that_o where_o the_o one_o be_v not_o practise_v the_o other_o be_v not_o believe_v i_o will_v not_o mention_v all_o the_o pomp_n which_o the_o latter_a age_n have_v invent_v to_o raise_v the_o lustre_n of_o this_o doctrine_n with_o which_o the_o former_a age_n be_v unacquainted_a it_o be_v enough_o to_o observe_v that_o the_o adoration_n of_o the_o sacrament_n be_v such_o a_o necessary_a consequence_n of_o this_o doctrine_n that_o since_o the_o primitive_a time_n know_v nothing_o of_o it_o as_o the_o greek_a church_n do_v not_o to_o this_o day_n it_o be_v perhaps_o more_o than_o a_o prosumption_n that_o they_o believe_v it_o not_o v._o but_o now_o i_o come_v to_o more_o positive_a and_o convince_a proof_n and_o 1._o the_o language_n of_o the_o whole_a church_n be_v only_o to_o be_v find_v in_o the_o liturgy_n which_o be_v more_o severe_o compose_v than_o rhetorical_a discourse_n and_o of_o all_o the_o part_n of_o the_o office_n the_o prayer_n of_o consecration_n be_v that_o in_o which_o we_o must_v hope_v to_o find_v most_o certain_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n we_o find_v then_o in_o the_o 4_o century_n that_o in_o the_o prayer_n of_o consecration_n the_o element_n be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o type_n of_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n as_o st._n basil_n inform_v we_o from_o the_o greek_a liturgy_n and_o the_o figure_n of_o his_o body_n and_o blood_n as_o st._n
