of_o those_o i_o mean_v the_o countermand_v that_o solemn_a and_o last_o command_n of_o our_o lord_n and_o saviour_n jesus_n at_o his_o last_o supper_n after_o he_o have_v institute_v the_o bless_a

once_o or_o twice_o a_o year_n now_o have_v the_o pope_n take_v away_o the_o bread_n also_o he_o may_v have_v give_v the_o very_a same_o reason_n for_o that_o as_o he_o do_v for_o take_v away_o the_o cup._n they_o give_v two_o reason_n first_o because_o it_o may_v happen_v that_o in_o deliver_v the_o cup_n to_o many_o people_n the_o wine_n which_o they_o call_v the_o blood_n may_v be_v spill_v why_o so_o in_o give_v the_o bread_n some_o crumb_n may_v fall_v and_o they_o affirm_v that_o christ_n body_n be_v entire_o contain_v in_o the_o least_o crumb_n second_o they_o say_v the_o people_n have_v the_o blood_n of_o christ_n in_o his_o body_n when_o they_o receive_v that_o and_o therefore_o they_o need_v it_o not_o again_o in_o the_o cup._n though_o it_o be_v apparent_a in_o scripture_n that_o our_o saviour_n give_v it_o in_o the_o cup_n apart_o to_o signify_v his_o bloodshedding_n from_o his_o body_n say_v this_o be_v my_o blood_n which_o be_v shed_v but_o it_o be_v no_o matter_n what_o our_o saviour_n say_v the_o pope_n say_v otherwise_o and_o we_o must_v hearken_v to_o he_o he_o say_v it_o be_v sufficient_a for_o the_o people_n to_o receive_v the_o blood_n in_o his_o body_n and_o so_o shall_v he_o say_v that_o he_o be_v the_o head_n of_o the_o church_n and_o if_o he_o alone_o receive_v the_o bread_n and_o cup_n and_o no_o other_o neither_o people_n nor_o priest_n

who_o dare_v say_v otherwise_o and_o thus_o you_o see_v that_o if_o we_o once_o let_v go_v the_o scripture_n farewell_o all_o religion_n all_o the_o command_n of_o god_n be_v to_o small_a purpose_n

very_a different_a faith_n from_o he_o and_o they_o i_o know_v full_a well_o that_o the_o papist_n do_v allege_v another_o place_n of_o saint_n augustine_n where_o he_o seem_v to_o speak_v somewhat_o in_o conformity_n to_o their_o faith_n as_o in_o his_o explication_n or_o paraphrase_n on_o the_o thirty_o three_o psalm_n where_o discourse_v of_o those_o word_n ferebatur_fw-la manibus_fw-la suis_fw-la he_o be_v carry_v in_o his_o own_o hand_n he_o apply_v those_o word_n unto_o christ_n say_v that_o they_o can_v not_o be_v literal_o mean_v of_o any_o body_n else_o because_o christ_n only_o bear_v himself_o in_o his_o own_o hand_n when_o he_o deliver_v with_o his_o own_o hand_n his_o body_n in_o the_o sacrament_n to_o his_o disciple_n to_o this_o i_o can_v answer_v that_o if_o st._n austin_n do_v here_o seem_v to_o contradict_v what_o he_o have_v prove_v before_o it_o follow_v from_o hence_o that_o we_o can_v take_v the_o authority_n of_o any_o father_n for_o our_o faith_n because_o this_o learned_a and_o eminent_a father_n as_o well_o as_o many_o other_o seem_v to_o contradict_v himself_o but_o i_o will_v not_o make_v so_o injurious_a a_o answer_n to_o so_o worthy_a a_o father_n of_o the_o church_n for_o in_o truth_n he_o do_v not_o here_o contradict_v in_o the_o least_o what_o he_o say_v before_o as_o i_o shall_v now_o make_v appear_v saint_n austin_n in_o his_o epistle_n to_o dardanus_n do_v profess_o discourse_v the_o point_n in_o a_o doctrinal_a way_n and_o do_v not_o only_o give_v his_o opinion_n but_o the_o reason_n that_o so_o enforce_v it_o as_o that_o it_o can_v be_v otherwise_o but_o it_o be_v quite_o another_o thing_n to_o discourse_n by_o way_n of_o paraphrase_n as_o saint_n austin_n do_v on_o that_o psalm_n we_o may_v well_o affirm_v that_o he_o use_v the_o common_a paraphrastical_a liberty_n which_o be_v very_o frequent_a among_o the_o father_n especial_o the_o more_o ancient_a and_o chief_o in_o origen_n who_o i_o may_v well_o call_v the_o origine_fw-la of_o such_o libertin_n discourse_n that_o great_a luxuriant_a wit_n make_v flourish_n upon_o every_o word_n often_o use_v expression_n too_o too_o light_a for_o the_o weighty_a sense_n of_o holy_a scripture_n but_o his_o great_a wit_n and_o learning_n have_v obtain_v great_a reverence_n these_o thing_n pass_v pardonable_a in_o he_o and_o become_v too_o much_o imitate_v by_o succeed_a doctor_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v no_o wonder_n that_o saint_n austin_n not_o much_o unlike_o he_o in_o luxuriancy_n of_o wit_n be_v somewhat_o like_o he_o in_o the_o way_n of_o allegory_n and_o paraphrase_n wherein_o man_n do_v not_o so_o much_o intend_v the_o clear_a positive_a doctrine_n as_o flourish_a circumlocution_n and_o variety_n of_o fancy_n but_o we_o may_v the_o better_a excuse_n saint_n austin_n in_o this_o if_o we_o take_v in_o saint_n augustine_n rule_n that_o it_o be_v no_o strange_a thing_n or_o false_a thing_n to_o affirm_v that_o of_o the_o sign_n which_o belong_v to_o the_o thing_n signify_v as_o he_o exemplify_v in_o our_o saviour_n himself_o non_fw-la dubitavit_fw-la dicere_fw-la hoc_fw-la est_fw-la corpus_fw-la meum_fw-la cum_fw-la

the_o sign_n of_o his_o body_n in_o his_o own_o hand_n and_o now_o for_o the_o clear_a conviction_n of_o the_o papist_n and_o for_o the_o full_a satisfaction_n of_o every_o impartial_a man_n it_o be_v

which_o be_v the_o slight_a way_n of_o discourse_v in_o the_o world_n i_o will_v not_o here_o urge_v against_o the_o papist_n that_o place_n of_o saint_n austin_n i_o mention_v but_o now_o that_o christ_n doubt_v not_o to_o say_v to_o his_o disciple_n this_o be_v my_o body_n when_o he_o give_v they_o the_o sign_n of_o his_o body_n because_o he_o do_v not_o there_o purposely_o dispute_v this_o

seem_v to_o imply_v that_o a_o glorify_a body_n do_v not_o require_v such_o space_n and_o dimension_n of_o place_n as_o mortal_a body_n because_o our_o saviour_n body_n enter_v the_o room_n pass_v through_o the_o material_a body_n of_o stone_n wood_n or_o the_o like_a as_o they_o will_v have_v it_o this_o objection_n be_v easy_o answer_v that_o no_o man_n be_v able_a to_o affirm_v how_o our_o saviour_n body_n enter_v the_o room_n it_o be_v not_o express_v in_o scripture_n but_o this_o be_v clear_a that_o our_o saviour_n may_v divide_v the_o wall_n or_o door_n or_o roof_n or_o floor_n and_o so_o make_v way_n for_o his_o body_n to_o enter_v and_o yet_o his_o disciple_n not_o perceive_v it_o as_o our_o saviour_n pass_v through_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o jew_n and_o they_o perceive_v it_o not_o when_o they_o carry_v he_o to_o the_o brow_n of_o the_o hill_n to_o cast_v he_o down_o head_n long_o no_o man_n suppose_v from_o hence_o that_o our_o saviour_n pass_v through_o the_o body_n of_o the_o jew_n but_o by_o they_o unseen_a wherefore_o it_o not_o be_v declare_v in_o scripture_n how_o he_o enter_v how_o can_v any_o argument_n be_v draw_v from_o hence_o of_o our_o saviour_n body_n
