faith_n for_o the_o mystery_n of_o the_o eucharist_n those_o new_a philosopher_n you_o speak_v of_o be_v call_v cartesian_n and_o gassendists_n i_o never_o much_o concern_v myself_o with_o those_o

of_o their_o faith_n and_o of_o their_o submission_n to_o the_o church_n they_o say_v that_o they_o speak_v thereof_o as_o philosopher_n and_o not_o as_o divine_n that_o they_o consider_v matter_n in_o its_o natural_a state_n when_o they_o define_v it_o by_o extent_n or_o that_o they_o declare_v it_o to_o be_v essential_o impenetrable_a that_o they_o do_v not_o trouble_v themselves_o with_o what_o it_o may_v be_v in_o its_o supernatural_a estate_n wherein_o god_n can_v put_v it_o by_o his_o power_n they_o turn_v themselves_o a_o hundred_o way_n some_o say_v that_o extent_n be_v the_o

at_o the_o age_n of_o thirty_o year_n that_o the_o body_n of_o jesus_n christ_n may_v be_v in_o the_o eucharist_n have_v only_o the_o greatness_n of_o a_o hand-worm_n and_o that_o this_o extent_n be_v sufficient_a to_o save_v this_o truth_n that_o the_o essence_n of_o body_n consist_v in_o extent_n they_o likewise_o say_v that_o the_o essence_n of_o the_o body_n of_o jesus_n christ_n consist_v in_o a_o certain_a little_a part_n of_o the_o brain_n which_o be_v almost_o insensible_a in_o which_o the_o soul_n be_v fix_v and_o that_o by_o suppose_v that_o in_o the_o eucharist_n there_o be_v only_o
