however_o i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o do_v under_o these_o two_o head_n first_o of_o intellectual_a absurdity_n and_o second_o of_o practical_a absurdity_n 1._o the_o first_o head_n be_v of_o intellectual_a absurdity_n by_o which_o i_o mean_v such_o falsehood_n as_o be_v repugnant_a to_o the_o common_a reason_n and_o understanding_n of_o mankind_n and_o i_o purposely_o wave_v all_o those_o absurdity_n of_o transubstantiation_n which_o contradict_v our_o sense_n because_o if_o a_o man_n be_v bend_v upon_o it_o and_o will_v outface_v i_o out_o of_o all_o all_o my_o sense_n as_o i_o can_v

i_o can_v only_o say_v as_o i_o find_v and_o appeal_v to_o his_o own_o sense_n and_o desire_v he_o to_o do_v i_o right_n in_o case_n a_o romanist_n shall_v bear_v i_o down_o that_o the_o bible_n in_o my_o hand_n be_v not_o a_o book_n but_o the_o live_a judge_n of_o controversy_n pope_n innocent_a the_o eleven_o and_o all_o the_o bishop_n of_o the_o christian_a world_n sit_v together_o in_o council_n i_o can_v help_v myself_o especial_o if_o he_o pretend_v to_o have_v change_v the_o book_n into_o such_o and_o so_o many_o live_a man_n by_o say_v some_o powerful_o charm_a word_n over_o it_o and_o further_o if_o in_o condescension_n and_o compliance_n with_o the_o frailty_n of_o human_a sense_n he_o likewise_o acknowledge_v that_o it_o look_v like_o a_o print_a and_o bind_v book_n and_o be_v clothe_v with_o all_o the_o accident_n and_o property_n of_o a_o book_n and_o that_o one_o part_n of_o the_o enchantment_n lie_v in_o this_o that_o though_o in_o all_o appearance_n it_o be_v a_o book_n yet_o it_o be_v in_o reality_n pope_n innocent_a the_o eleven_o and_o a_o assembly_n of_o live_a bishop_n in_o this_o case_n i_o can_v use_v my_o sense_n because_o he_o have_v
