for_o a_o infinite_a attribute_n we_o confess_v that_o in_o as_o much_o as_o the_o humane_a nature_n in_o christ_n be_v inseparable_o take_v into_o the_o subsistence_n of_o the_o omnipresent_v son_n of_o god_n it_o be_v therefore_o a_o truth_n to_o say_v that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n though_o fill_v all_o place_n be_v not_o yet_o in_o any_o of_o they_o separate_v or_o asunder_o from_o the_o

by_o the_o subsistence_n of_o the_o tree_n and_o yet_o it_o have_v not_o that_o amplitude_n of_o place_n which_o the_o tree_n have_v let_v go_v then_o this_o opinion_n there_o be_v a_o three_o presence_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v a_o carnal_a physical_a local_a presence_n which_o we_o affirm_v his_o humane_a nature_n to_o have_v only_o in_o heaven_n the_o papist_n attribute_v it_o to_o the_o sacrament_n because_o christ_n have_v say_v this_o be_v my_o body_n and_o in_o matter_n of_o fundamental_a consequence_n he_o use_v no_o figurative_a or_o dark_a speech_n to_o this_o we_o say_v that_o it_o be_v a_o carnal_a doctrine_n and_o a_o mistake_n like_o that_o of_o nicodemus_n and_o of_o origen_n from_o the_o spirit_n to_o the_o letter_n and_o for_o the_o difficulty_n it_o be_v none_o to_o man_n that_o have_v more_o than_o only_a a_o carnal_a ear_n to_o hear_v it_o for_o what_o difficulty_n be_v it_o to_o say_v that_o then_o the_o king_n give_v a_o man_n a_o office_n when_o he_o have_v seal_v he_o such_o a_o pa●ent_n in_o the_o right_a whereof_o that_o office_n belong_v and_o be_v convey_v unto_o he_o and_o if_o christ_n be_v thus_o local_o in_o the_o sacrament_n and_o eat_v with_o the_o mouth_n and_o so_o convey_v into_o the_o stomach_n i_o then_o demand_v what_o become_v of_o he_o when_o and_o after_o he_o be_v thus_o receive_v into_o the_o stomach_n if_o he_o

proportion_n between_o the_o holy_a action_n use_v by_o christ_n in_o this_o sacrament_n and_o christ_n himself_o who_o be_v the_o substance_n of_o it_o it_o follow_v now_o that_o we_o inquire_v far_o

action_n which_o do_v alter_v in_o the_o use_n and_o make_v it_o a_o sacrament_n and_o first_o we_o find_v that_o christ_n take_v the_o bread_n and_o wine_n and_o bless_v it_o and_o give_v thanks_o and_o so_o consecrate_v it_o or_o set_v a_o part_n unto_o a_o holy_a or_o solemn_a use_n 16_o which_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o saint_n paul_n call_v it_o a_o cup_n of_o blessing_n so_o that_o unto_o

which_o wonderful_a union_n notwithstanding_o the_o property_n of_o the_o divine_a nature_n remain_v absolute_o intransient_a and_o uncommunicable_a unto_o the_o humane_a yet_o be_v there_o shed_v from_o that_o inexhaustible_a fountain_n many_o high_a and_o glorious_a endowment_n by_o which_o the_o humanity_n under_o this_o manner_n of_o subsistence_n be_v 18._o anoint_v 9_o consecrate_a 23._o seal_v and_o set_v apart_o for_o that_o work_n of_o incomprehensible_a love_n and_o power_n the_o redemption_n of_o the_o world_n and_o second_o as_o the_o bread_n be_v take_v by_o we_o from_o christ_n in_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o gift_n he_o break_v it_o and_o give_v it_o to_o his_o disciple_n so_o be_v the_o humane_a nature_n take_v by_o christ_n from_o the_o father_n as_o a_o gift_n 26._o from_o the_o good_a pleasure_n of_o god_n three_o as_o the_o take_n of_o the_o bread_n by_o christ_n do_v alter_v only_o the_o manner_n of_o its_o be_v the_o operation_n and_o efficacy_n the_o

require_v in_o the_o aeconomie_n and_o dispensation_n of_o that_o great_a work_n for_o which_o he_o assume_v it_o but_o yet_o he_o never_o alter_v the_o essential_a and_o natural_a quality_n of_o the_o body_n but_o keep_v it_o still_o within_o the_o measure_n and_o limit_n of_o the_o create_a perfection_n which_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n do_v at_o first_o share_n out_o unto_o it_o last_o to_o

the_o second_o action_n be_v the_o break_n of_o the_o bread_n and_o pour_a the_o wine_n into_o the_o cup_n which_o do_v near_o express_v his_o crucify_a body_n where_o 14._o the_o joint_n be_v loose_v

to_o spin_v a_o meditation_n into_o a_o controversy_n about_o the_o extent_n and_o nature_n of_o christ_n passion_n but_o certain_o whatsoever_o either_o ignominy_n or_o agony_n his_o body_n suffer_v
