confess_v they_o must_v needs_o be_v here_o in_o their_o proper_a subject_n and_o substance_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n but_o all_o this_o be_v found_v upon_o a_o false_a ground_n for_o albeit_o natural_o a_o accident_n can_v be_v but_o in_o a_o subject_n yet_o supernatural_o and_o by_o the_o power_n of_o god_n susteyninge_v it_o and_o supplyinge_v the_o place_n of_o a_o natural_a subject_n it_o may_v be_v as_o we_o do_v confess_v on_o the_o contrary_a side_n by_o christian_a faith_n that_o the_o human_a nature_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o mystery_n of_o the_o incarnation_n have_v not_o her_o proper_a subsistence_n in_o it_o self_n which_o yet_o be_v as_o natural_a to_o a_o substance_n to_o subsist_v in_o it_o self_n as_o it_o be_v to_o a_o accident_n to_o be_v sustain_v by_o another_o but_o be_v sustain_v by_o the_o divine_a person_n of_o christ._n 35._o and_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o concern_v accident_n be_v that_o albeit_o the_o intrinsical_a nature_n of_o a_o accident_n be_v to_o be_v unperfect_a and_o to_o depend_v of_o another_o and_o thereby_o to_o have_v a_o aptitude_n to_o be_v in_o another_o yet_o the_o act_n thereof_o may_v be_v separate_v by_o god_n power_n from_o the_o say_a nature_n as_o a_o thing_n posterior_n and_o follow_v from_o the_o say_a nature_n as_o we_o have_v she_o wed_v before_o in_o the_o natural_a propriety_n of_o quantity_n to_o have_v commensuration_n of_o place_n and_o this_o to_o be_v true_a that_o this_o actual_a inherence_n of_o accident_n may_v be_v sever_v from_o the_o essential_a aptitude_n thereunto_o without_o destro_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o say_a accident_n many_o philosopher_n both_o christian_n and_o heathen_a do_v affirm_v who_o sentence_n you_o 76._o may_v see_v gather_v by_o diverse_a learned_a man_n as_o well_o of_o ancient_a as_o of_o our_o time_n sundry_a father_n also_o be_v of_o opinion_n that_o this_o case_n happen_v de_fw-la facto_fw-la in_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n when_o the_o light_n be_v make_v upon_o the_o first_o day_n as_o the_o book_n of_o genesis_n recount_v which_o be_v but_o a_o quality_n and_o accident_n remain_v without_o a_o subject_n unto_o the_o four_o

36._o this_o then_o be_v so_o that_o these_o accident_n of_o bread_n &_o wine_n may_v remain_v by_o the_o power_n of_o god_n in_o the_o sacrament_n without_o their_o proper_a subject_n it_o follow_v to_o consider_v what_o action_n they_o can_v have_v and_o first_o it_o be_v to_o be_v note_v substance_n that_o whatsoever_o action_n or_o operation_n be_v proper_a to_o they_o as_o accident_n when_o they_o be_v in_o their_o proper_a subject_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n before_o consecration_n the_o same_o they_o may_v have_v afterward_o when_o they_o contain_v the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n without_o inherence_n therein_o for_o that_o god_n suppli_v all_o by_o his_o power_n which_o their_o say_a subject_n or_o substance_n do_v perform_v when_o they_o be_v present_a so_o as_o the_o effect_n for_o example_n that_o the_o accident_n of_o wine_n &_o bread_n do_v work_v in_o our_o sense_n before_o by_o movinge_v our_o sight_n by_o their_o colour_n to_o see_v our_o taste_n by_o their_o savour_n and_o other_o like_a effect_n the_o same_o do_v they_o perform_v also_o afterward_o so_o as_o for_o example_n sake_n by_o drink_v much_o consecrate_a wine_n though_o there_o be_v no_o substance_n of_o wine_n therein_o but_o only_o the_o proper_a accident_n of_o wine_n as_o heat_n smell_v and_o other_o quality_n and_o proprietye_n of_o wine_n may_v a_o man_n be_v incense_v or_o distemper_v as_o much_o as_o if_o the_o substance_n of_o wine_n be_v there_o in_o deed_n for_o these_o be_v the_o proper_a action_n and_o operation_n of_o the_o say_a accident_n themselves_n but_o where_o the_o concurrence_n of_o substance_n be_v necessary_a to_o any_o action_n as_o in_o nutrition_n generation_n or_o corruption_n of_o one_o substance_n into_o another_o there_o do_v god_n supply_v the_o matter_n that_o be_v necessary_a to_o that_o action_n when_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n do_v cease_v to_o be_v there_o which_o be_v when_o those_o accident_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n be_v corrupt_v and_o not_o otherwise_o as_o for_o example_n in_o the_o resurrection_n of_o our_o body_n where_o every_o body_n be_v to_o receive_v his_o own_o proper_a flesh_n again_o which_o it_o have_v in_o this_o life_n if_o some_o one_o body_n have_v eat_v another_o body_n or_o parcel_n thereof_o in_o this_o world_n and_o convert_v the_o same_o into_o his_o proper_a substance_n in_o this_o case_n i_o say_v almighty_a god_n must_v needs_o supply_v otherwise_o by_o his_o omnipotent_a power_n that_o part_n and_o matter_n of_o substance_n that_o want_v in_o one_o of_o these_o two_o body_n for_o that_o else_o one_o of_o they_o shall_v be_v unperfect_a and_o want_v part_n of_o his_o substance_n in_o the_o resurrection_n and_o after_o the_o like_a manner_n we_o say_v that_o when_o a_o consecrate_a host_n be_v eat_v and_o afterward_o be_v turn_v into_o the_o natural_a norishment_n of_o the_o eater_n which_o norishment_n require_v a_o material_a substance_n god_n do_v supply_v that_o substance_n in_o that_o instant_n when_o the_o form_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n perishinge_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n cease_v to_o be_v there_o 37._o and_o this_o appertain_v to_o the_o providence_n of_o almighty_a god_n for_o supply_v the_o defect_n of_o particular_a natural_a cause_n when_o any_o thing_n fail_v that_o be_v necessary_a for_o their_o natural_a operation_n the_o very_a same_o also_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v in_o generation_n and_o corruption_n as_o for_o example_n when_o the_o accident_n of_o the_o consecrate_a host_n perishinge_v and_o some_o other_o substance_n shall_v happen_v to_o be_v engender_v thereof_o as_o worm_n or_o the_o like_a there_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n cease_v to_o be_v when_o the_o say_v accident_n do_v perish_v and_o for_o the_o new_a generation_n insuinge_v thereof_o god_n suppli_v fit_a matter_n as_o in_o the_o example_n before_o allege_v of_o the_o resurrection_n of_o our_o body_n whereof_o the_o one_o have_v eat_v part_n of_o

we_o think_v it_o needful_a to_o explain_v and_o declare_v in_o this_o place_n the_o nature_n use_n and_o abuse_n of_o these_o word_n 39_o first_o then_o a_o sacrament_n according_a to_o the_o

this_o be_v the_o first_o and_o chief_a manner_n how_o this_o sacrament_n be_v a_o sign_n that_o be_v to_o say_v a_o sign_n of_o grace_n and_o not_o of_o christ_n body_n absent_a as_o protestant_n

to_o be_v consider_v in_o this_o preface_n about_o the_o nature_n of_o disputation_n to_o wit_n that_o as_o it_o be_v a_o fit_a mean_n same_o to_o stir_v up_o man_n understand_v to_o attend_v the_o

can_v answer_v or_o dissolve_v and_o this_o happen_v not_o only_o in_o unlearned_a people_n which_o by_o no_o mean_n can_v discern_v which_o party_n have_v the_o better_a when_o both_o part_n be_v

argue_v to_o and_o fro_o by_o disputation_n be_v bring_v manytime_n to_o be_v more_o doubtful_a thereby_o then_o before_o &_o this_o even_a in_o matter_n both_o natural_a and_o moral_a of_o this_o life_n the_o reason_n whereof_o be_v that_o man_n understand_v being_n limit_v and_o the_o light_n of_o knowledge_n impart_v unto_o he_o from_o god_n be_v but_o a_o little_a particle_n or_o sparkle_n of_o his_o infinite_a divine_a knowledge_n it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o the_o more_o this_o sparkle_n be_v exercise_v &_o inkendle_v in_o search_v out_o god_n work_n and_o secret_n in_o this_o life_n the_o more_o it_o see_v she_o own_o weakness_n and_o begin_v to_o doubt_v more_o &_o to_o be_v more_o ambiguous_a in_o herself_o whether_o that_o which_o she_o apprehend_v be_v true_o apprehend_v or_o no_o or_o whether_o by_o further_a search_n she_o shall_v not_o find_v it_o otherwise_o and_o see_v herself_o deceive_v in_o this_o apprehension_n as_o she_o have_v find_v in_o many_o

these_o how_o much_o less_o in_o supernatural_a and_o divine_a wherein_o human_a disputation_n have_v far_o less_o force_n for_o that_o human_a science_n deducinge_v their_o disputation_n from_o

be_v receive_v only_o by_o light_n of_o faith_n &_o reveyl_v from_o god_n wherefore_o these_o disputation_n may_v serve_v to_o examine_v and_o discuss_v matter_n for_o stir_v up_o our_o

of_o our_o doctrine_n of_o transuostantiation_n eutiches_n say_v that_o the_o divine_a and_o human_a nature_n in_o christ_n be_v confound_v together_o and_o of_o two_o make_v but_o one_o we_o say_v

christ_n human_a nature_n be_v turn_v into_o his_o divine_a we_o say_v only_o that_o bread_n and_o wine_n be_v turn_v into_o christ_n flesh_n and_o blood_n what_o likeness_n have_v this_o with_o

to_o doctor_n smith_n that_o ask_v he_o this_o question_n do_v he_o so_o sit_v at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o his_o father_n that_o he_o do_v never_o foresake_n the_o same_o ridley_n answer_v nay_o i_o do_v not_o bind_v christ_n in_o heaven_n so_o strait_o by_o which_o answer_n you_o see_v that_o this_o whole_a principal_a ground_n and_o headspringe_n of_o ridleyes_n argument_n against_o transubstantiation_n be_v quite_o overthrow_v for_o if_o christ_n in_o flesh_n after_o his_o ascension_n may_v be_v also_o on_o earth_n when_o he_o will_v as_o ridley_n here_o grant_v then_o be_v it_o not_o against_o the_o article_n of_o our_o creed_n he_o ascend_v into_o heaven_n to_o believe_v that_o not_o withstand_v his_o ascension_n he_o may_v be_v also_o on_o earth_n in_o the_o sacrament_n and_o albeit_o ridley_n do_v cyte_v here_o certain_a place_n of_o s._n augustine_n that_o do_v seem_v to_o say_v that_o christ_n after_o his_o ascension_n be_v no_o more_o conversant_a among_o we_o
