virtue_n of_o it_o as_o protestant_n do_v since_o it_o be_v clear_a from_o all_o their_o write_n that_o they_o do_v hold_v it_o as_o prove_v from_o scripture_n although_o i_o may_v have_v save_v myself_o the_o trouble_n of_o clear_v this_o point_n so_o large_o have_v i_o not_o think_v it_o convenient_a rather_o for_o the_o vindication_n of_o these_o writer_n who_o the_o author_n have_v so_o gross_o abuse_v than_o for_o the_o defend_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o real_a presence_n or_o transubstantiation_n for_o what_o if_o seven_o author_n shall_v before_o the_o solemn_a declaration_n of_o the_o church_n have_v deny_v it_o to_o be_v necessary_o prove_v from_o scripture_n though_o real_o they_o have_v not_o be_v there_o not_o seventy_o time_n seven_o of_o another_o mind_n be_v not_o the_o arian_n bishop_n the_o semipelagian_n and_o other_o heretic_n who_o at_o several_a time_n oppose_v the_o article_n of_o the_o christian_a faith_n vast_o more_o numerous_a and_o the_o author_n

sense_n of_o transubstantiation_n i_o be_o sure_a there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o reason_n to_o understand_v they_o otherwise_o whether_o we_o consider_v the_o like_a expression_n in_o scripture_n as_o where_o our_o saviour_n say_v he_o be_v the_o door_n and_o the_o true_a vine_n which_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n will_v mighty_o have_v triumph_v in_o have_v it_o be_v say_v this_o be_v my_o true_a body_n and_o so_o likewise_o where_o the_o church_n be_v say_v to_o be_v christ_n body_n and_o the_o rock_n which_o follow_v the_o israelite_n to_o be_v christ_n 1_o cor._n 10._o 4._o they_o drink_v of_o that_o rock_n which_o follow_v they_o and_o that_o rock_n be_v christ_n all_o which_o and_o innumerable_a more_o like_a expression_n in_o scripture_n every_o man_n understand_v in_o a_o figurative_a and_o not_o in_o a_o strict_o literal_a and_o absurd_a sense_n and_o it_o be_v very_o well_o know_v that_o in_o the_o hebrew_n language_n thing_n be_v common_o say_v to_o be_v that_o which_o they_o do_v signify_v and_o represent_v and_o there_o be_v not_o in_o that_o language_n a_o more_o proper_a and_o usual_a way_n of_o express_v a_o thing_n to_o signify_v so_o and_o so_o than_o to_o say_v that_o it_o be_v so_o and_o so_o thus_o joseph_n expound_v pharaoh_n dream_n to_o he_o gen._n 41._o 26._o say_v the_o seven_o good_a cow_n be_v seven_o year_n and_o the_o seven_o good_a ear_n of_o corn_n be_v seven_o year_n that_o be_v they_o signify_v or_o represent_v seven_o year_n of_o plenty_n and_o so_o pharaoh_n understand_v he_o and_o so_o will_v any_o man_n of_o sense_n understand_v the_o like_a expression_n nor_o do_v i_o believe_v that_o any_o sensible_a man_n who_o have_v never_o hear_v of_o transubstantiation_n be_v ground_v upon_o these_o word_n of_o our_o saviour_n this_o be_v my_o body_n will_v upon_o read_v the_o institution_n of_o the_o sacrament_n in_o the_o gospel_n ever_o have_v imagine_v any_o such_o thing_n to_o be_v mean_v by_o our_o

see_v i_o now_o do_v do_v you_o hereafter_o for_o a_o memorial_n of_o i_o but_o sure_o it_o will_v never_o have_v enter_v into_o any_o man_n mind_n to_o have_v think_v that_o our_o saviour_n do_v literal_o hold_v himself_o in_o his_o hand_n and_o give_v away_o himself_o from_o himself_o with_o his_o own_o hand_n answer_n second_o proper_o since_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n of_o understand_v our_o saviour_n word_n in_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o real_a presence_n or_o transubstantiation_n i_o be_o sure_a there_o can_v be_v no_o reason_n give_v to_o understand_v they_o otherwise_o for_o if_o we_o consider_v the_o expression_n which_o the_o author_n produce_v out_o of_o scripture_n as_o resemble_v these_o they_o be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v like_o they_o that_o from_o thence_o we_o shall_v prove_v the_o quite_o contrary_a to_o what_o the_o author_n allege_v they_o for_o therefore_o to_o reduce_v this_o head_n of_o discourse_n to_o some_o method_n i_o shall_v first_o lay_v down_o the_o principle_n by_o which_o it_o be_v to_o be_v govern_v that_o i_o may_v the_o better_a afterward_o draw_v my_o conclusion_n 1._o re_fw-la christ_n ever_o speak_v reasonable_o and_o in_o a_o manner_n conformable_a to_o good_a sense_n nothing_o escape_v he_o through_o imprudence_n or_o mistake_n 2._o his_o power_n infinite_o exceed_v the_o capacity_n of_o our_o mind_n therefore_o it_o be_v against_o reason_n that_o we_o shall_v confine_v it_o to_o the_o narrow_a bound_n of_o our_o understanding_n or_o pretend_v that_o god_n can_v do_v what_o we_o can_v conceive_v 3._o when_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o word_n which_o christ_n speak_v if_o take_v proper_o be_v not_o contradictory_n to_o right_a reason_n though_o above_o it_o and_o the_o rule_n of_o human_a discourse_n oblige_v we_o to_o take_v these_o word_n in_o the_o proper_a sense_n than_o we_o be_v not_o to_o doubt_v of_o the_o truth_n of_o they_o as_o so_o take_v that_o we_o may_v the_o better_o apply_v these_o principle_n protestant_n and_o the_o ensue_a discourse_n to_o the_o case_n in_o hand_n i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o state_n it_o as_o precise_o as_o may_v be_v and_o draw_v it_o into_o as_o narrow_a a_o compass_n as_o i_o can_v christ_n in_o the_o institution_n of_o the_o bless_a sacrament_n say_v this_o be_v my_o body_n which_o word_n those_o of_o the_o english_a church_n that_o do_v not_o believe_v the_o presence_n of_o christ_n real_a body_n in_o the_o sacrament_n yet_o attribute_v the_o efficacy_n thereof_o to_o the_o due_a reception_n of_o the_o sacramental_a element_n and_o i_o will_v charitable_o suppose_v the_o author_n to_o be_v one_o of_o these_o interpret_v thus_o this_o thing_n which_o you_o see_v to_o be_v bread_n in_o substance_n be_v a_o sign_n of_o my_o real_a body_n wherein_o the_o virtue_n of_o my_o body_n though_o itself_o be_v absent_a be_v contain_v or_o whereunto_o this_o virtue_n be_v conjoin_v or_o together_o with_o which_o it_o be_v exhibit_v which_o several_a sort_n of_o expression_n i_o be_o force_v to_o use_v that_o i_o may_v by_o some_o of_o they_o reach_v that_o sense_n which_o they_o have_v not_o yet_o sufficient_o explain_v catholic_n thus_o this_o thing_n which_o by_o the_o mean_n of_o your_o sense_n be_v represent_v to_o the_o mind_n under_o the_o species_n or_o appearance_n of_o bread_n be_v my_o body_n in_o substance_n in_o these_o explication_n i_o say_v that_o by_o this_o in_o the_o proposition_n this_o be_v my_o body_n be_v mean_v this_o thing_n because_o this_o be_v a_o pronoun_n demonstrative_a that_o do_v not_o express_v any_o particular_o determinate_a and_o distinct_a nature_n or_o substance_n for_o it_o may_v be_v apply_v to_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v the_o object_n of_o sense_n or_o of_o pure_a understanding_n when_o it_o be_v but_o confuse_o represent_v to_o the_o mind_n as_o we_o say_v point_v to_o a_o person_n before_o we_o this_o be_v john_n or_o this_o be_v thomas_n point_v to_o a_o animal_n we_o say_v this_o be_v a_o lamb_n this_o be_v a_o dove_n after_o we_o have_v discourse_v of_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o soul_n we_o may_v say_v of_o cogitation_n conceive_v it_o in_o our_o mind_n this_o be_v the_o property_n of_o the_o soul._n but_o because_o it_o will_v be_v great_a rashness_n of_o judgement_n and_o that_o which_o be_v strict_o call_v prejudice_n to_o conclude_v full_o of_o the_o nature_n of_o any_o thing_n which_o another_o that_o be_v presume_v to_o know_v it_o better_o than_o we_o do_v shall_v be_v show_v to_o we_o before_o he_o have_v full_o pronounce_v his_o proposition_n by_o which_o he_o be_v to_o discover_v its_o nature_n as_o for_o instance_n if_o any_o one_o hold_v up_o a_o gild_a shilling_n or_o a_o counterfeit_n guiny_n shall_v be_v about_o to_o inform_v we_o true_o that_o this_o be_v but_o a_o shilling_n or_o a_o counterfeit_n piece_n of_o gold_n which_o notwithstanding_o appear_v to_o the_o sense_n like_o gold_n we_o shall_v rash_o conclude_v before_o he_o tell_v we_o full_o what_o it_o be_v he_o show_v we_o that_o it_o be_v a_o true_a piece_n of_o gold_n or_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n if_o any_o
lord_n word_n shall_v be_v take_v in_o the_o figurative_a sense_n of_o these_o expression_n but_o contrariwise_o in_o a_o proper_a sense_n i_o shall_v lay_v down_o these_o distinction_n and_o rule_n to_o show_v the_o disparity_n by_o sign_n be_v either_o natural_o so_o sign_n as_o black_a cloud_n be_v a_o sign_n of_o rain_n smoak_n be_v a_o sign_n of_o fire_n or_o else_o so_o only_o by_o

may_v fit_o be_v choose_v to_o signify_v and_o represent_v although_o not_o enough_o to_o exhibit_v the_o idea_n of_o the_o thing_n upon_o the_o bare_a sight_n or_o mention_v which_o afterward_o by_o institution_n they_o be_v to_o signify_v unto_o we_o thus_o a_o live_a creature_n sacrifice_v typify_v or_o signify_v christ_n crucify_a upon_o the_o cross_n and_o some_o have_v not_o thus_o the_o

the_o sign_n the_o name_n of_o the_o thing_n signify_v or_o to_o the_o thing_n signify_v the_o name_n of_o the_o sign_n be_v very_o rare_a to_o make_v it_o intelligible_a it_o be_v require_v 1._o that_o the_o sign_n be_v plain_o institute_v 2._o it_o must_v be_v just_o presume_v that_o those_o to_o who_o we_o speak_v regard_v the_o thing_n as_o a_o sign_n or_o else_o we_o ought_v to_o

this_o of_o our_o lord_n by_o which_o at_o the_o very_a first_o constitute_v any_o thing_n into_o a_o sign_n it_o be_v call_v the_o thing_n signify_v without_o prepare_v the_o mind_n of_o the_o auditor_n to_o understand_v it_o so_o distinction_n to_o apply_v these_o rule_n to_o the_o case_n in_o hand_n we_o must_v observe_v that_o this_o dream_n or_o vision_n of_o pharaoh_n be_v a_o sign_n of_o institution_n it_o have_v be_v appoint_v by_o god_n to_o signify_v something_o to_o he_o again_o indeed_o this_o sign_n have_v some_o sort_n of_o fitness_n in_o its_o own_o nature_n to_o be_v make_v a_o sign_n of_o what_o it_o be_v to_o represent_v even_o more_o than_o bread_n have_v to_o represent_v christ_n body_n yet_o it_o can_v not_o exhibit_v to_o pharaoh_n mind_v the_o thing_n which_o it_o be_v to_o signify_v without_o some_o explicit_a interpretation_n of_o good_a authority_n and_o it_o be_v so_o obscure_a a_o sign_n that_o none_o of_o all_o his_o magician_n can_v give_v

interpret_v pharaoh_n can_v not_o but_o consider_v his_o word_n as_o a_o interpretation_n of_o this_o sign_n of_o institution_n therefore_o by_o the_o second_o and_o third_z rule_n beforementioned_a it_o be_v very_o rational_a for_o he_o to_o put_v the_o predicate_v in_o the_o place_n of_o the_o subject_a the_o sign_n for_o the_o thing_n signify_v by_o say_v the_o seven_o good_a cow_n be_v

our_o lord_n this_o be_v my_o body_n the_o bread_n have_v be_v a_o sign_n of_o institution_n though_o it_o have_v some_o remote_a resemblance_n yet_o since_o it_o can_v not_o of_o itself_o before_o
