otherwise_o answer_v every_o body_n know_v that_o when_o image-worship_n be_v first_o set_v up_o there_o be_v a_o great_a number_n of_o christian_n who_o stout_o oppose_v it_o and_o gather_v council_n

make_v use_v of_o in_o reference_n to_o the_o image_n of_o our_o saviour_n be_v this_o if_o our_o saviour_n have_v leave_v one_o image_n of_o himself_o which_o be_v of_o divine_a institution_n than_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a to_o erect_v other_o image_n of_o he_o which_o be_v of_o humane_a invention_n but_o he_o have_v leave_v one_o image_n of_o himself_o namely_o in_o the_o sacrament_n which_o be_v of_o divine_a institution_n ergo._fw-la to_o make_v it_o good_a that_o the_o sacrament_n be_v a_o image_n of_o our_o saviour_n of_o his_o own_o appointment_n they_o show_v that_o all_o the_o ancient_a father_n have_v call_v it_o the_o image_n the_o figure_n the_o type_n the_o antitype_n the_o resemblance_n or_o representation_n of_o our_o saviour_n this_o very_a argument_n be_v use_v by_o the_o precede_a council_n at_o constantinople_n and_o be_v recite_v by_o the_o nicene_n council_n which_o be_v present_o after_o but_o how_o do_v the_o nicene_n council_n answer_v it_o they_o can_v not_o deny_v the_o major_a proposition_n and_o therefore_o they_o be_v force_v to_o break_v through_o the_o minor_a after_o this_o fashion_n they_o say_v that_o the_o sacrament_n be_v not_o the_o image_n resemblance_n figure_n type_n antitype_n of_o our_o saviour_n but_o his_o own_o body_n for_o he_o himself_o express_o say_v hoc_fw-la est_fw-la corpus_fw-la meum_fw-la it_o be_v not_o therefore_o a_o image_n or_o figure_n of_o he_o but_o it_o be_v he_o himself_o in_o person_n and_o thus_o they_o rescue_v and_o disengage_v themselves_o from_o a_o very_a close_a and_o distress_a argument_n and_o so_o their_o show_n of_o image-worship_n go_v on_o this_o be_v the_o first_o time_n that_o the_o literal_a interpretation_n as_o they_o call_v it_o of_o hoc_fw-la est_fw-la

so_o ready_a a_o answer_n common_a sense_n will_v never_o have_v suffer_v they_o to_o make_v use_n of_o that_o argument_n now_o after_o the_o literal_a interpretation_n be_v thus_o broach_v to_o serve_v a_o present_a turn_n and_o they_o have_v use_v it_o as_o a_o man_n do_v the_o next_o thing_n that_o come_v to_o hand_n to_o stop_v a_o gap_n it_o be_v yet_o a_o long_a time_n before_o

themselves_o and_o therefore_o there_o be_v no_o further_a occasion_n for_o it_o but_o in_o process_n of_o time_n they_o can_v not_o but_o discover_v many_o other_o advantage_n in_o it_o as_o among_o the_o rest_n that_o it_o will_v deck_v the_o priesthood_n with_o the_o high_a honour_n in_o the_o world_n and_o advance_v they_o above_o all_o throne_n and_o crown_a head_n if_o it_o be_v once_o believe_v that_o they_o can_v make_v their_o maker_n when_o they_o please_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v no_o wonder_n that_o they_o be_v so_o very_o sharp_a upon_o berengarius_fw-la when_o he_o set_v
