which_o do_v not_o result_v by_o necessary_a concomitancy_n from_o the_o be_v of_o a_o body_n for_o since_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v by_o virtue_n of_o the_o hypostatical_a union_n that_o wherever_o the_o divinity_n be_v the_o humane_a nature_n of_o christ_n must_v be_v there_o also_o how_o do_v it_o necessary_o follow_v that_o wherever_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n be_v the_o divinity_n be_v so_o

it_o be_v not_o therefore_o bare_a union_n but_o the_o manner_n of_o presence_n which_o do_v make_v a_o object_n fit_a for_o adoration_n that_o presence_n ought_v to_o be_v if_o not_o glorious_a and_o

as_o some_o of_o your_o great_a and_o late_a divine_n have_v assert_v then_o there_o be_v no_o such_o necessity_n of_o concomitancy_n of_o the_o divinity_n of_o christ_n because_o they_o say_v god_n may_v reproduce_v the_o same_o body_n without_o all_o the_o accident_n of_o it_o and_o consequent_o without_o the_o hypostatical_a union_n 2._o by_o the_o same_o way_n of_o concomitancy_n they_o may_v

of_o his_o church_n and_o therefore_o that_o must_v be_v a_o real_a body_n of_o christ_n too_o which_o be_v so_o remote_a from_o justify_v paschasius_fw-la his_o doctrine_n that_o cellotius_n

encroach_v too_o much_o on_o the_o divine_a perfection_n but_o this_o hold_v much_o more_o against_o the_o pretence_n of_o infallibility_n in_o any_o person_n than_o for_o the_o lawfulness_n of_o

forbid_v the_o affectation_n of_o infallibility_n though_o of_o a_o inferior_a sort_n under_o the_o title_n of_o rabbi_n father_n and_o master_n so_o he_o do_v likewise_o all_o inferior_a sort_n of_o
