A56393	Reasons for abrogating the test imposed upon all members of Parliament, anno 1678, Octob. 30 in these words, I A.B. do solemnly and sincerely, in the presence of God, profess, testifie, and declare, that I do believe that in the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper there is not any transubstantiation of the elements of bread and wine into the body and blood of Christ, at, or after the consecration thereof by any person whatsoever, and that the invocation or adoration of the Virgin Mary, or any other saint, and the sacrifice of the mass, as they are now used in the Church of Rome, are superstitious and idolatrous : first written for the author's own satisfaction, and now published for the benefit of all others whom it may concern.	Parker, Samuel, 1640-1688.	1688 (1688)	Wing P467; ESTC R5001	62,716	138

appeal_n to_o the_o honourable_a member_n of_o both_o house_n if_o when_o they_o consider_v serious_o with_o themselves_o they_o have_v any_o distinct_a idea_n or_o notion_n in_o their_o mind_n of_o the_o thing_n they_o here_o so_o solemn_o renounce_v i_o fancy_n if_o every_o man_n be_v oblige_v to_o give_v his_o own_o account_n of_o it_o whatever_o transubstantiation_n may_v be_v it_o will_v

progress_n of_o this_o controversy_n of_o transubstantiation_n which_o when_o i_o have_v do_v the_o result_n and_o sum_n of_o the_o account_n will_v be_v that_o there_o be_v no_o one_o thing_n in_o which_o christendom_n more_o both_o agree_v and_o disagree_v all_o party_n consent_v in_o the_o thing_n and_o differ_v in_o the_o manner_n and_o here_o the_o history_n will_v branch_v itself_o into_o

about_o it_o and_o 2_o the_o scholastical_a account_n or_o the_o various_a dispute_n of_o the_o schoolman_n among_o themselves_o in_o their_o cell_n and_o cloister_n none_o of_o which_o be_v ever_o vouch_v by_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n and_o when_o i_o have_v represent_v the_o whole_a matter_n of_o fact_n i_o may_v safe_o leave_v it_o to_o the_o honour_n and_o wisdom_n of_o the_o nation_n to_o judge_v whether_o of_o all_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n transubstantiation_n be_v not_o the_o unfit_a thing_n in_o it_o to_o set_v up_o for_o a_o state_n test_n in_o the_o first_o
