that_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o it_o tend_v to_o the_o consecration_n of_o the_o element_n for_o it_o appear_v by_o st._n luke_n and_o st._n paul_n make_v use_n of_o the_o word_n give_v thanks_o for_o what_o the_o other_o evangelist_n express_v by_o bless_a that_o our_o saviour_n bless_v by_o give_v thanks_o and_o why_o may_v not_o he_o then_o or_o we_o now_o bless_v the_o sacramental_a element_n in_o like_a manner_n and_o by_o that_o blessing_n change_v they_o into_o a_o sacrament_n which_o be_v as_o much_o as_o to_o say_v consecrate_v and_o it_o appear_v also_o that_o as_o little_a as_o the_o romanist_n seem_v to_o esteem_v of_o prayer_n in_o this_o particular_a yet_o as_o there_o be_v even_o in_o their_o own_o missal_n a_o prayer_n to_o god_n that_o he_o will_v vouchsafe_v to_o

of_o blessing_n be_v no_o contemptible_a one_o yea_o such_o a_o blessing_n as_o god_n himself_o think_v no_o improper_a one_o for_o a_o priest_n or_o rather_o etc._n rather_o num._n 6.23_o etc._n

take_v that_o for_o grant_v the_o priest_n do_v not_o then_o use_v his_o own_o word_n but_o the_o word_n of_o christ_n himself_o the_o priest_n as_o aquinas_n afterward_o supra_fw-la afterward_o vbi_fw-la supra_fw-la tell_v we_o speak_v as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o person_n of_o christ_n to_o let_v we_o understand_v that_o in_o the_o perfection_n of_o this_o sacrament_n he_o do_v nothing_o but_o pronounce_v the_o word_n of_o christ_n but_o first_o if_o the_o priest_n use_v not_o his_o own_o word_n but_o the_o word_n of_o christ_n be_v that_o which_o make_v what_o he_o say_v to_o have_v the_o

reciter_n of_o they_o and_o a_o reciter_n of_o they_o too_o as_o speak_v the_o night_n before_o he_o suffer_v and_o with_o respect_n to_o that_o particular_a eucharist_n which_o he_o give_v to_o his_o disciple_n which_o how_o it_o shall_v convert_v the_o element_n then_o before_o he_o into_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n be_v a_o thing_n as_o hard_o to_o be_v understand_v as_o that_o

as_o apply_v by_o the_o priest_n to_o the_o element_n that_o be_v before_o he_o they_o may_v affect_v they_o also_o for_o if_o they_o be_v any_o otherwise_o apply_v to_o they_o than_o to_o show_v what_o our_o saviour_n intend_v this_o sacrament_n for_o and_o consequent_o what_o we_o may_v expect_v in_o those_o element_n which_o we_o set_v apart_o for_o it_o if_o we_o follow_v his_o direction_n in_o the_o consecration_n of_o they_o they_o be_v no_o more_o the_o word_n of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n but_o of_o the_o priest_n who_o so_o apply_v they_o and_o from_o which_o therefore_o no_o such_o effect_n can_v be_v expect_v this_o i_o take_v to_o be_v a_o sufficient_a bar_n against_o place_v the_o power_n of_o consecration_n in_o those_o word_n yea_o though_o when_o utter_v by_o our_o

be_v already_o become_v than_o any_o way_n productive_a of_o a_o sacramental_a relation_n in_o they_o for_o neither_o can_v our_o saviour_n have_v true_o say_v this_o be_v my_o body_n unless_o at_o that_o instant_n when_o he_o speak_v those_o word_n it_o be_v real_o such_o and_o much_o less_o can_v that_o have_v be_v any_o reason_n why_o he_o shall_v exhort_v they_o to_o take_v and_o eat_v what_o he_o then_o offer_v they_o as_o both_o the_o tenor_n of_o the_o word_n and_o the_o hoc_fw-la est_fw-la enim_fw-la corpus_fw-la meum_fw-la in_o the_o roman_a missal_n do_v yet_o more_o plain_o
