his_o 2._o book_n contra_fw-la adu._n legis_fw-la &_o prophetarum_fw-la he_o say_v that_o with_o faithful_a heart_n &_o mouth_n we_o receive_v the_o mediator_n of_o god_n &_o man_n christ_n jesus_n give_v we_o his_o flesh_n to_o eat_v &_o his_o blood_n to_o drink_v although_o it_o seem_v more_o horrible_a to_o eat_v man_n flesh_n than_o to_o kill_v it_o or_o to_o drink_v man_n blood_n than_o to_o shed_v it_o in_o this_o place_n he_o first_o distinguish_v two_o way_n of_o eat_v oral_a and_o spiritua_n &_o then_o assert_v they_o both_o and_o i_o can_v wish_v they_o will_v take_v a_o little_a notice_n of_o this_o place_n who_o so_o much_o please_v themselves_o with_o popular_a declamation_n against_o the_o pretend_a barbarousness_n of_o this_o mystery_n in_o his_o comment_n upon_o the_o 33._o psalm_n he_o make_v no_o difficulty_n of_o admit_v all_o the_o real_a consequence_n of_o this_o mystery_n which_o to_o our_o adversary_n seem_v absurd_a &_o impossible_a as_o for_o example_n that_o christ_n body_n shall_v be_v at_o the_o same_o time_n in_o two_o place_n that_o he_o shall_v hold_v himself_o in_o his_o own_o hand_n give_v himself_o to_o his_o disciple_n keep_v himself_o to_o himself_o &_o the_o like_a first_o he_o move_v the_o difficulty_n who_o be_v carry_v in_o his_o own_o hand_n in_o another_o hand_n one_o may_v be_v carry_v no_o man_n be_v carry_v in_o his_o own_o afterward_o he_o answer_v christ_n be_v carry_v in_o his_o own_o hand_n when_o commend_v to_o they_o his_o own_o body_n he_o say_v this_o be_v my_o body_n for_o he_o carry_v that_o body_n in_o his_o own_o hand_n i_o will_v only_o mention_v one_o more_o testimony_n of_o this_o father_n but_o so_o plain_a a_o one_o that_o it_o be_v impossible_a any_o man_n in_o his_o wit_n shall_v have_v utter_v if_o he_o have_v not_o believe_v the_o doctrine_n of_o transubstantiation_n in_o his_o comment_n upon_o the_o 98._o psalm_n christ_n say_v he_o take_v flesh_n of_o the_o flesh_n of_o mary_n in_o this_o flesh_n he_o walk_v here_o with_o we_o this_o flesh_n he_o give_v we_o to_o eat_v that_o we_o may_v be_v save_v no_o body_n eat_v this_o flesh_n but_o first_o adore_v it_o observe_v his_o word_n he_o plain_o speak_v of_o oral_a eat_n he_o do_v not_o mean_v only_o believe_v if_o he_o do_v he_o will_v not_o say_v we_o always_o adore_v before_o we_o eat_v because_o it_o be_v evident_a we_o do_v not_o adore_v before_o we_o believe_v pray_v what_o be_v this_o we_o adore_v before_o we_o eat_v be_v it_o only_o apiece_o of_o bread_n a_o wafer_n a_o sacred_a figure_n of_o christ_n body_n sure_o you_o will_v not_o make_v s._n austin_n &_o all_o the_o christian_n of_o his_o time_n idolater_n adore_v a_o thing_n which_o they_o believe_v be_v not_o their_o god_n no_o no_o they_o believe_v that_o although_o before_o the_o word_n of_o consecration_n it_o be_v only_o a_o piece_n of_o bread_n yet_o after_o consecration_n it_o be_v by_o god_n omnipotence_n substantial_o change_v into_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n &_o so_o become_v their_o god_n as_o well_o as_o their_o food_n and_o therefore_o the_o christian_n of_o that_o age_n adore_v the_o sacrament_n before_o they_o dare_v approach_v to_o eat_v it_o &_o s._n austin_n be_v so_o zealous_a for_o this_o adoration_n that_o he_o say_v in_o the_o same_o place_n it_o be_v not_o only_o lawful_a to_o adore_v but_o a_o sin_n not_o to_o adore_v the_o dispute_n that_o be_v betwixt_o nestorius_n &_o s_n cyril_n of_o alexandria_n plain_o show_v that_o in_o those_o time_n this_o mystery_n be_v universal_o believe_v nestorius_n fancy_a there_o be_v two_o person_n in_o christ_n the_o one_o true_a god_n the_o other_o true_a man_n and_o pretend_v to_o prove_v that_o the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o divinity_n be_v not_o unite_v in_o one_o person_n the_o scripture_n plain_o tell_v he_o that_o we_o eat_v the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n but_o say_v he_o we_o do_v not_o eat_v the_o divinity_n therefore_o the_o flesh_n &_o the_o divinity_n be_v not_o unite_v in_o one_o person_n if_o s._n cyril_n have_v believe_v that_o what_o we_o eat_v with_o our_o mouth_n be_v mere_a bread_n he_o may_v easy_o have_v answer_v that_o this_o argument_n only_o prove_v the_o nature_n of_o bread_n &_o the_o divine_a nature_n be_v not_o unite_v in_o one_o person_n but_o because_o he_o believe_v that_o the_o sacrament_n which_o seem_v mere_a bread_n be_v not_o any_o long_a bread_n but_o the_o true_a substance_n of_o christ_n body_n therefore_o he_o answer_v that_o although_o we_o do_v not_o eat_v the_o divine_a nature_n yet_o the_o holy_a flesh_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o common_a flesh_n flesh_n it_o be_v the_o proper_a body_n of_o the_o word_n which_o give_v life_n to_o all_o thing_n this_o argument_n and_o answer_v you_o may_v read_v in_o his_o apology_n for_o his_o anathema_n the_o catholics_n &_o the_o nestorian_n both_o agree_v in_o the_o common_a belief_n that_o the_o sacrament_n be_v not_o bread_n but_o the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n otherwise_o nestorius_n have_v be_v the_o most_o silly_a disputant_n that_o ever_o live_v &_o s._n cyril_n have_v be_v quite_o infatuate_v that_o do_v not_o give_v another_o answer_n nestorius_n argue_v we_o do_v not_o eat_v the_o divinity_n therefore_o the_o flesh_n be_v not_o unite_v to_o the_o divine_a person_n s._n cyril_n answer_v the_o flesh_n which_o we_o eat_v gives_z life_n therefore_o it_o be_v unite_v to_o the_o divine_a person_n without_o which_o it_o profit_v nothing_o according_a to_o our_o saviour_n word_n in_o the_o six_o chapter_n of_o s._n john._n gelasius_n bishop_n of_o cyzicus_n in_o his_o book_n de_fw-fr duabus_fw-la in_o christo_fw-la naturis_fw-la prove_v against_o the_o eutychian_o that_o there_o be_v two_o nature_n in_o christ_n because_o in_o the_o sacrament_n there_o be_v two_o nature_n to_o wit_n the_o visible_a nature_n of_o the_o outward_a form_n and_o the_o invisible_a nature_n of_o christ_n substance_n and_o

bread_n &_o wine_n remain_v according_a to_o gelasius_n in_o the_o propriety_n of_o their_o nature_n but_o yet_o the_o bread_n &_o wine_n be_v change_v into_o the_o divine_a substance_n think_v a_o little_a of_o this_o and_o tell_v i_o what_o it_o be_v if_o it_o be_v not_o transubstantiation_n theodoret_n in_o his_o first_o dialogue_n take_v notice_n how_o jacob_n in_o the_o 49._o of_o genesis_n give_v our_o saviour_n blood_n the_o name_n of_o wine_n and_o our_o saviour_n in_o the_o gospel_n give_v wine_n the_o name_n of_o his_o blood_n he_o say_v the_o reason_n be_v manifest_a because_o he_o will_v have_v those_o who_o partake_v of_o the_o divine_a mystery_n not_o to_o mind_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n which_o be_v see_v but_o by_o the_o change_n of_o name_n believe_v the_o

these_o three_o age_n have_v write_v upon_o this_o subject_n these_o which_o i_o have_v produce_v already_o be_v beyond_o exception_n they_o declare_v the_o faith_n of_o the_o age_n they_o live_v in_o they_o say_v the_o sacramental_a bread_n be_v change_v into_o the_o substance_n of_o christ_n they_o say_v no_o body_n eat_v it_o but_o first_o adore_v it_o they_o say_v it_o be_v a_o sin_n not_o to_o adore_v it_o all_o this_o they_o say_v &_o this_o be_v all_o we_o understand_v by_o transubstantiation_n i_o come_v now_o to_o the_o first_o four_o century_n and_o put_v the_o question_n to_o those_o father_n who_o have_v the_o happiness_n to_o flourish_v in_o the_o best_a &_o pure_a time_n of_o christianity_n whether_o the_o inward_a substance_n of_o the_o sacrament_n be_v bread_n &_o wine_n or_o whether_o it_o be_v the_o body_n &_o blood_n of_o christ_n if_o it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o inward_a substance_n of_o the_o sacrament_n be_v real_o the_o body_n or_o flesh_n of_o christ_n it_o follow_v evident_o that_o it_o be_v no_o long_a bread_n and_o
they_o promise_v we_o be_v always_o ready_a to_o come_v over_o to_o they_o but_o have_v be_v so_o long_o in_o full_a &_o peaceable_a possession_n of_o a_o truth_n deliver_v to_o we_o as_o a_o

oblige_v they_o to_o make_v this_o bold_a attempt_n they_o know_v if_o once_o they_o grant_v that_o all_o the_o torrent_n of_o antiquity_n run_v clear_a and_o strong_a against_o they_o they_o never_o can_v be_v able_a to_o bear_v up_o against_o the_o stream_n they_o be_v sensible_a how_o plain_o the_o father_n speak_v their_o mind_n in_o favour_n of_o this_o mystery_n and_o therefore_o search_v among_o the_o dark_a passage_n of_o all_o their_o write_n where_o they_o be_v glad_a to_o meet_v with_o any_o thing_n that_o make_v a_o plausible_a appearance_n appearance_n the_o sum_n of_o their_o objection_n be_v this_o that_o s._n chrysostom_n theodoret_n and_o gelasius_n express_o affirm_v that_o the_o substance_n of_o bread_n remain_v after_o consecration_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o change_v into_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n christ_n this_o at_o first_o sight_n seem_v plausible_a enough_o nor_o be_v it_o any_o wonder_n if_o it_o startle_v those_o who_o never_o hear_v of_o it_o before_o and_o yet_o if_o all_o these_o great_a man_n by_o their_o substance_n mean_v no_o more_o than_o the_o true_a nature_n of_o the_o outward_a form_n &_o sensible_a quality_n there_o be_v no_o danger_n of_o their_o disbelieve_a transubstantiation_n we_o believe_v the_o substance_n be_v real_o change_v and_o these_o father_n be_v please_v to_o say_v the_o substance_n be_v real_o the_o same_o but_o yet_o after_o all_o the_o noise_n they_o make_v with_o it_o the_o father_n and_o we_o may_v agree_v so_o far_o as_o to_o be_v both_o in_o the_o right_n if_o we_o take_v the_o same_o word_n in_o different_a sense_n &_o they_o by_o substance_n mean_v one_o thing_n whilst_o we_o mean_v another_o philosophy_n both_o old_a &_o new_a distinguish_v betwixt_o the_o inward_a substance_n &_o the_o

tell_v we_o that_o the_o nature_n or_o the_o substance_n be_v the_o same_o what_o wonder_n be_v it_o if_o s._n chrysostom_n in_o his_o epistle_n to_o cesarius_n write_v thus_o as_o before_o
