A97089	A brief answer to the many calumnies of Dr. Henry More, in his pretended Antidote against idolatry. Shewing that no prudent person can, upon any rational ground, be deterr'd from returning to the communion of St. Peter's chair, by any of the doctors best and strongest evidences to the contrary.	Walton, John, 1624-1677.	1672 (1672)	Wing W675A; ESTC R225655	39,521	109

generation_n for_o if_o this_o be_v absolute_o possible_a it_o will_v be_v false_a to_o day_n to_o utter_v this_o proposition_n that_o individual_a thing_n that_o can_v be_v and_o be_v to_o be_v make_v of_o any_o thing_n be_v not_o and_o be_v not_o this_o rash_o to_o fetter_v god_n omnipotency_n and_o to_o go_v about_o to_o wrest_v a_o power_n out_o of_o his_o almighty_a hand_n which_o he_o may_v have_v for_o any_o thing_n the_o doctor_n know_v to_o the_o contrary_n three_o it_o be_v pity_n to_o observe_v his_o word_n in_o the_o next_o proposition_n the_o individual_a body_n of_o christ_n say_v he_o be_v to_o be_v make_v of_o the_o wafer_n consecrate_v which_o imply_v as_o much_o as_o if_o the_o water_n be_v the_o material_a cause_n of_o christ_n body_n what_o philosopher_n ever_o speak_v thus_o unphilosophical_o yet_o to_o make_v amends_o he_o immediate_o contradict_v himself_o and_o add_v that_o the_o wafer_n be_v turn_v or_o convert_v into_o his_o individual_a body_n which_o be_v a_o much_o different_a thing_n from_o be_v make_v of_o the_o wafer_n but_o the_o particle_n for_o go_v beyond_o wonder_n the_o individual_a body_n of_o christ_n be_v make_v of_o the_o wafer_n consecrate_v mark_v the_o word_n for_o it_o be_v turn_v into_o his_o individual_a body_n which_o be_v a_o piece_n of_o as_o learned_a nonsense_n as_o if_o he_o say_v in_o open_a term_n because_o the_o wafer_n be_v turn_v into_o christ_n body_n by_o a_o total_a conversion_n which_o exclude_v a_o material_a cause_n therefore_o his_o body_n be_v make_v of_o the_o wafer_n by_o generation_n which_o require_v a_o material_a cause_n thus_o unfortunate_a be_v the_o act_n and_o science_n when_o they_o engage_v against_o god_n church_n i_o come_v now_o to_o his_o argument_n transubstantiation_n say_v he_o imply_v that_o the_o same_o thing_n be_v and_o be_v not_o at_o the_o same_o time_n this_o i_o deny_v first_o because_o physics_n have_v render_v it_o probable_a that_o a_o thing_n which_o actual_o be_v may_v be_v reproduced_a without_o lose_v its_o actual_a existence_n and_o if_o we_o shall_v say_v that_o christ_n body_n be_v thus_o reproduced_a in_o the_o sacrament_n it_o will_v not_o follow_v that_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n be_v and_o be_v not_o at_o once_o to_o wit_n before_o the_o consecration_n but_o only_o that_o it_o be_v by_o a_o first_o production_n and_o be_v not_o by_o a_o second_o production_n till_o after_o the_o consecration_n second_o i_o will_v assign_v the_o doctor_n another_o way_n whereby_o to_o evade_v his_o contradiction_n for_o as_o in_o nutrition_n and_o augmentation_n when_o new_a matter_n be_v add_v to_o the_o body_n by_o conversion_n of_o our_o food_n and_o sustenance_n into_o flesh_n the_o soul_n present_o begin_v to_o inform_v this_o new_a matter_n and_o there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o produce_v a_o new_a soul_n which_o be_v not_o before_o but_o only_o the_o soul_n begin_v to_o be_v where_o it_o be_v not_o before_o so_o when_o the_o host_n be_v convert_v into_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n no_o necessity_n enforce_v we_o to_o grant_v the_o production_n of_o a_o new_a body_n which_o be_v not_o before_o but_o only_o that_o the_o body_n begin_v to_o be_v where_o it_o be_v not_o before_o let_v the_o impartial_a reader_n now_o judge_v what_o great_a cause_n the_o doctor_n have_v to_o cry_v victory_n before_o his_o time_n and_o so_o manful_o to_o word_n we_o down_o and_o conclude_v hector-like_a as_o he_o do_v that_o nothing_o can_v be_v more_o full_o and_o entire_o contradictious_a and_o repugnant_a to_o all_o sense_n and_o reason_n to_o all_o indubitable_a principle_n of_o all_o art_n and_o science_n than_o this_o figment_n of_o transubstantiation_n so_o that_o any_o one_o say_v he_o that_o be_v not_o a_o mere_a bigot_n may_v be_v as_o assure_v that_o transubstantiation_n be_v a_o mere_a figment_n or_o enormous_a falsehood_n as_o of_o any_o thing_n else_o in_o the_o whole_a world_n i_o wonder_v whether_o they_o be_v not_o as_o mere_a bigot_n with_o the_o doctor_n whoever_o believe_v the_o mystery_n of_o the_o holy_a trinity_n for_o let_v he_o but_o compare_v the_o mystery_n of_o transubstantiation_n and_o trinity_n together_o and_o then_o he_o shall_v be_v to_o i_o more_o than_o a_o great_a apollo_n if_o he_o can_v show_v that_o there_o be_v any_o thing_n more_o full_o and_o entire_o contradictious_a and_o repugnant_a to_o all_o sense_n and_o reason_n to_o all_o indubitable_a principle_n of_o all_o art_n and_o science_n in_o the_o first_o mystery_n then_o in_o the_o late_a and_o that_o any_o one_o who_o be_v not_o a_o mere_a bigot_n may_v be_v more_o assure_v that_o transubstantiation_n be_v a_o mere_a figment_n or_o enormous_a falsehood_n than_o trinity_n and_o i_o desire_v he_o to_o instance_n in_o particular_a by_o what_o argument_n he_o have_v attempt_v to_o conclude_v the_o impossibility_n of_o one_o body_n be_v in_o

the_o four_o section_n contain_v a_o answer_n to_o the_o four_o fifth_z and_o six_z chapter_n in_o the_o entrance_n of_o the_o four_o chapter_n the_o doctor_n fall_v foul_a upon_o the_o council_n of_o
