of_o his_o visible_a body_n and_o that_o they_o speak_v of_o his_o invisible_a body_n yea_o but_o then_o we_o reply_v where_o ever_o learn_v they_o either_o in_o scripture_n or_o in_o any_o ancient_a

know_v christ_n manhood_n that_o at_o one_o and_o self_n same_o time_n he_o shall_v have_v a_o visible_a body_n and_o a_o invisible_a yea_o one_o in_o the_o heaven_n to_o come_v invisiblie_o again_o when_o he_o please_v and_o yet_o the_o same_o both_o there_o and_o this_o here_o also_o multiply_v into_o so_o many_o invisible_a body_n as_o there_o be_v receiver_n mouth_n if_o this_o be_v not_o with_o the_o old_a rot_a dote_v and_o long_a ago_o condemn_v martion_n to_o make_v a_o mere_a phantasm_n of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n let_v any_o man_n judge_v but_o once_o for_o all_o by_o this_o sword_n of_o the_o spirit_n to_o pierce_v this_o monstrous_a conceit_n of_o they_o to_o the_o very_a heart_n and_o so_o to_o leave_v it_o for_o dead_a see_v they_o stand_v so_o much_o upon_o the_o letter_n and_o word_n of_o the_o text_n i_o will_v have_v they_o once_o again_o to_o mark_v and_o remember_v that_o saint_n paul_n that_o say_v therein_o that_o which_o he_o receive_v of_o the_o lord_n he_o deliver_v have_v upon_o his_o credit_n tell_v we_o that_o the_o lord_n speak_v of_o the_o bread_n call_v it_o not_o simple_o and_o naked_o his_o body_n but_o his_o body_n break_v and_o they_o all_o agree_v in_o one_o that_o he_o call_v the_o other_o his_o blood_n shed_v if_o therefore_o they_o will_v stick_v to_o the_o word_n of_o the_o text_n and_o yet_o have_v a_o real_a presence_n as_o they_o teach_v of_o his_o very_a body_n and_o blood_n by_o virtue_n of_o the_o word_n thereof_o they_o see_v most_o plain_o than_o it_o must_v be_v of_o his_o body_n break_v and_o of_o his_o blood_n shed_v unless_o therefore_o now_o they_o can_v find_v we_o a_o invisible_a body_n break_v and_o blood_n invisible_a shed_v of_o he_o for_o the_o mouth_n of_o every_o receiver_n they_o neither_o say_v or_o do_v any_o thing_n to_o the_o purpose_n according_a to_o the_o text_n but_o i_o hope_v they_o be_v not_o so_o far_o go_v but_o they_o know_v that_o it_o be_v now_o a_o thousand_o and_o five_o hundred_o year_n ago_o and_o more_o since_o he_o have_v either_o his_o body_n break_v or_o blood_n shed_v and_o that_o when_o they_o be_v so_o he_o die_v so_o that_o he_o die_v no_o more_o as_o we_o read_v rom._n 6.9_o and_o therefore_o even_o hereby_o the_o most_o simple_a may_v see_v that_o though_o they_o can_v show_v that_o his_o body_n alive_a or_o glorify_v can_v be_v invisible_a infinite_a and_o so_o multipliable_a as_o their_o doctrine_n import_v which_o yet_o they_o can_v never_o do_v that_o yet_o all_o this_o be_v nothing_o to_o the_o real_a presence_n of_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n in_o respect_n of_o that_o estate_n of_o he_o when_o the_o one_o be_v break_v and_o the_o other_o shed_v for_o the_o
