we_o must_v believe_v that_o he_o be_v a_o door_n a_o stone_n a_o vine_n a_o shepherd_n of_o sheep_n but_o the_o scripture_n say_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v ascend_v up_o into_o heaven_n and_o that_o he_o sit_v there_o at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o god_n the_o father_n therefore_o he_o be_v no_o long_o upon_o earth_n for_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a that_o the_o same_o body_n shall_v be_v in_o two_o distinct_a place_n at_o once_o if_o that_o be_v likely_a as_o the_o philosopher_n tell_v we_o the_o same_o body_n may_v be_v in_o twenty_o in_o a_o hundred_o in_o a_o thousand_o and_o in_o ten_o thousand_o place_n in_o the_o same_o moment_n from_o hence_o we_o may_v conclude_v that_o it_o be_v possible_a to_o make_v one_o man_n become_v a_o great_a army_n that_o one_o man_n shall_v kill_v himself_o a_o thousand_o time_n and_o yet_o continue_v alive_a that_o he_o shall_v be_v a_o saint_n in_o one_o place_n and_o a_o devil_n in_o another_o damn_v in_o one_o place_n and_o save_v in_o another_o the_o object_n of_o god_n wrath_n and_o goodness_n at_o the_o same_o time_n these_o be_v impossibility_n and_o plain_a contradiction_n christ_n command_v we_o to_o do_v this_o in_o

little_a purpose_n for_o beside_o other_o reason_n that_o may_v be_v allege_v against_o it_o i_o think_v they_o be_v mighty_o mistake_v to_o compare_v a_o totum_fw-la integrans_fw-la with_o a_o

other_o be_v altogether_o repugnant_a to_o division_n and_o separation_n the_o manna_n that_o be_v in_o the_o ark_n i_o confess_v be_v a_o memorial_n of_o that_o manna_n which_o the_o israelite_n have_v feed_v upon_o in_o the_o wilderness_n but_o it_o be_v not_o the_o same_o how_o can_v they_o therefore_o from_o hence_o conclude_v that_o christ_n body_n must_v be_v in_o several_a place_n under_o distinct_a notion_n christ_n inform_v we_o that_o his_o word_n be_v spirit_n and_o life_n and_o that_o the_o flesh_n profit_v nothing_o that_o it_o be_v the_o spirit_n that_o quicken_v it_o be_v not_o possible_a to_o speak_v any_o thing_n more_o contrary_a than_o this_o to_o the_o papist_n doctrine_n for_o these_o word_n assure_v we_o that_o christ_n be_v there_o real_o and_o in_o truth_n but_o spiritual_o not_o corporal_o nor_o substantial_o that_o he_o be_v there_o by_o his_o spirit_n virtue_n and_o efficacy_n to_o produce_v the_o same_o effect_n in_o we_o as_o if_o he_o be_v

that_o since_o the_o apostle_n time_n communicant_n do_v receive_v in_o both_o kind_n wherefore_o do_v they_o then_o take_v away_o the_o cup_n why_o do_v they_o establish_v this_o law_n that_o forbid_v layman_n to_o drink_v of_o the_o cup_n they_o acknowledge_v that_o jesus_n christ_n have_v appoint_v it_o to_o be_v so_o that_o the_o apostle_n do_v practice_n and_o command_v it_o and_o that_o it_o have_v be_v a_o universal_a custom_n among_o christian_n for_o all_o man_n to_o communicate_v in_o both_o kind_n nevertheless_o this_o council_n be_v so_o insolent_a to_o forbid_v it_o
