not_o go_v out_o of_o their_o limit_n it_o be_v true_a these_o be_v each_o as_o so_o many_o story_n one_o above_o another_o and_o the_o low_a must_v not_o presume_v into_o the_o region_n of_o the_o high_a for_o than_o they_o will_v be_v mistake_v and_o in_o error_n yet_o the_o high_a be_v support_v and_o sustain_v by_o the_o low_a and_o see_v they_o all_o be_v from_o god_n whatever_o be_v true_a in_o the_o low_a can_v be_v contradict_v in_o the_o high_a and_o therefore_o whatever_o be_v pretend_v in_o the_o high_a can_v be_v true_a there_o if_o it_o be_v just_o deny_v in_o the_o low_a now_o it_o be_v easy_a to_o show_v this_o notion_n of_o carnal_a transubstantiation_n must_v be_v false_a in_o all_o the_o judgement_n of_o our_o faculty_n but_o i_o shall_v only_o instance_n in_o sense_n

under_o the_o most_o advantageous_a circumstance_n for_o sense_n to_o judge_v by_o the_o contrary_n can_v never_o be_v true_a in_o reason_n in_o natural_a conscience_n nor_o in_o faith_n for_o then_o either_o there_o must_v be_v no_o such_o faculty_n as_o sense_n or_o that_o fundamental_a faculty_n of_o the_o soul_n judgement_n by_o sense_n must_v be_v false_a and_o so_o all_o our_o faculty_n will_v lose_v their_o credit_n for_o they_o may_v be_v false_a too_o see_v he_o that_o give_v we_o one_o give_v we_o all_o of_o they_o and_o this_o of_o sense_n be_v that_o we_o most_o live_v and_o
