before_o of_o christ_n apparel_v but_o although_o god_n be_v in_o all_o other_o thing_n yet_o not_o so_o that_o he_o be_v one_o suppositum_fw-la with_o they_o nor_o be_v there_o such_o a_o union_n

hypostatical_a union_n between_o christ_n and_o the_o accident_n as_o between_o the_o divine_a and_o humane_a nature_n for_o although_o bellarmin_n say_v that_o all_o thing_n there_o present_a in_o a_o certain_a manner_n make_v one_o with_o the_o suppositum_fw-la yet_o he_o declare_v express_o that_o it_o be_v not_o in_o the_o same_o manner_n but_o here_o the_o doctor_n complain_v of_o un-intelligible_a term_n and_o notion_n use_v in_o this_o matter_n and_o may_v he_o not_o do_v the_o same_o with_o as_o much_o reason_n of_o the_o term_n and_o notion_n use_v by_o the_o schoolman_n in_o explicate_v the_o mystery_n of_o the_o trinity_n and_o incarnation_n how_o un-intelligible_a soever_o the_o school-term_n appear_v to_o he_o yet_o it_o be_v very_o easy_a to_o understand_v that_o neither_o greg._n de_fw-la valentia_n nor_o bellarmin_n mean_v to_o give_v divine_a honour_n to_o the_o accident_n for_o themselves_o and_o yet_o much_o easy_a to_o understand_v what_o christian_a people_n mean_v when_o they_o profess_v the_o object_n of_o their_o adoration_n in_o the_o eucharist_n to_o be_v the_o only_o beget_v son_n of_o god_n under_o the_o accident_n of_o bread_n and_o
