best_o be_v able_a to_o judge_n by_o two_o or_o three_o observation_n 1._o it_o be_v confess_v by_o the_o great_a man_n of_o their_o church_n that_o there_o be_v no_o necessity_n to_o interpret_v those_o word_n in_o that_o manner_n that_o they_o do_v so_o that_o have_v not_o the_o authority_n of_o their_o church_n interpose_v they_o may_v have_v be_v equal_o verify_v in_o our_o

consequence_n be_v of_o so_o do_v 2._o our_o author_n himself_o confess_v that_o if_o the_o take_n of_o they_o in_o the_o literal_a sense_n do_v involve_v a_o certain_a contradiction_n than_o it_o can_v be_v right_o but_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o seek_v out_o some_o other_o exposition_n to_o avoid_v a_o certain_a contradiction_n 3._o it_o be_v undeniable_a that_o their_o interpretation_n of_o these_o word_n destroy_v the_o certainty_n of_o sense_n and_o in_o that_o of_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o christian_a religion_n which_o be_v confirm_v by_o miracle_n know_v only_o by_o the_o evidence_n of_o sense_n and_o by_o consequence_n of_o this_o particular_a point_n that_o transubstantiation_n be_v reveal_v to_o we_o by_o god_n or_o can_v be_v rely_v upon_o as_o come_v from_o he_o now_o from_o these_o principle_n i_o thus_o argue_v if_o that_o sense_n of_o these_o word_n this_o be_v my_o body_n upon_o which_o they_o ground_n their_o adoration_n do_v necessary_o imply_v many_o plain_a and_o certain_a contradiction_n then_o by_o their_o own_o confession_n that_o can_v be_v the_o right_a sense_n of_o they_o but_o that_o it_o do_v so_o and_o that_o without_o gross_a and_o culpable_a ignorance_n they_o can_v doubt_v of_o but_o know_v it_o i_o thus_o show_v he_o that_o believe_v these_o word_n in_o the_o sense_n of_o transubstantiation_n must_v believe_v the_o same_o natural_a body_n at_o the_o same_o time_n to_o be_v in_o ten-thousand_o several_a place_n upon_o earth_n and_o yet_o still_o to_o be_v but_o one_o body_n and_o that_o all_o the_o while_n in_o heaven_n he_o must_v believe_v that_o the_o same_o natural_a body_n be_v at_o the_o same_o time_n extend_v in_o all_o its_o part_n and_o yet_o continue_v still_o the_o same_o body_n without_o any_o change_n to_o be_v unextend_v and_o have_v no_o distinct_a part_n nor_o be_v capable_a of_o be_v divide_v into_o any_o he_o must_v believe_v the_o same_o body_n at_o the_o same_o time_n to_o move_v and_o to_o lie_v still_o to_o be_v the_o object_n of_o our_o sense_n and_o yet_o not_o to_o be_v perceptible_a by_o any_o with_o infinite_a other_o of_o the_o like_a kind_n 33._o kind_n see_v above_o ch._n 2._o of_o transubstantiation_n pag._n 32_o 33._o as_o i_o have_v more_o full_o show_v before_o but_o now_o all_o these_o be_v gross_a contradiction_n contrary_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o body_n and_o to_o the_o common_a principle_n of_o reason_n in_o all_o mankind_n and_o no_o man_n can_v without_o culpable_a ignorance_n pretend_v not_o to_o know_v they_o to_o be_v so_o and_o therefore_o notwithstanding_o any_o such_o suppose_a divine_a revelation_n as_o may_v be_v pretend_v from_o those_o word_n this_o be_v my_o body_n they_o can_v by_o our_o author_n be_v own_o rule_n without_o culpable_a ignorance_n not_o know_v that_o they_o be_v mistake_v in_o this_o matter_n again_o no_o papist_n can_v have_v any_o reason_n to_o believe_v transubstantiation_n to_o be_v true_a but_o because_o he_o read_v those_o word_n of_o holy_a scripture_n this_o be_v my_o body_n that_o these_o word_n be_v in_o scripture_n he_o can_v know_v only_o by_o his_o sense_n if_o his_o sense_n therefore_o be_v not_o to_o be_v trust_v he_o be_v not_o sure_a there_o be_v any_o such_o word_n in_o scripture_n if_o they_o be_v to_o be_v trust_v he_o be_v then_o sure_a that_o the_o interpretation_n which_o he_o put_v upon_o they_o must_v be_v false_a since_o than_o it_o be_v confess_v that_o there_o be_v no_o necessity_n to_o understand_v those_o word_n in_o a_o literal_a sense_n and_o that_o both_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o the_o contradiction_n that_o such_o a_o exposition_n involve_v to_o the_o common_a principle_n of_o reason_n and_o to_o the_o certain_a evidence_n of_o the_o sense_n of_o all_o mankind_n it_o be_v necessary_a to_o take_v they_o in_o some_o other_o meaning_n it_o remain_v that_o without_o gross_a and_o culpable_a ignorance_n they_o can_v pretend_v not_o to_o know_v that_o this_o can_v never_o have_v be_v the_o intention_n of_o our_o bless_a saviour_n in_o those_o word_n and_o that_o such_o ignorance_n will_v not_o excuse_v they_o our_o author_n himself_o have_v free_o confess_v but_o 2_o let_v we_o quit_v this_o reflection_n and_o for_o once_o suppose_v the_o possibility_n of_o transubstantiation_n yet_o still_o it_o be_v confess_v by_o they_o 1._o that_o there_o be_v no_o command_n nor_o example_n in_o holy_a scripture_n for_o adore_v christ_n in_o the_o eucharist_n 2._o that_o infinite_a defect_n may_v happen_v

without_o any_o command_n or_o warrant_n of_o god_n pay_v a_o divine_a adoration_n to_o that_o which_o he_o can_v never_o be_v sure_o be_v more_o than_o a_o mere_a creature_n can_v never_o be_v sure_a that_o he_o do_v not_o commit_v idolatry_n but_o whosoever_o worship_v the_o host_n worship_n that_o which_o he_o can_v never_o be_v sure_o be_v more_o than_o a_o mere_a creature_n and_o therefore_o

as_o to_o this_o matter_n how_o strict_a he_o have_v be_v in_o the_o peculiar_a vindication_n of_o his_o supreme_a prerogative_n in_o such_o case_n how_o therefore_o he_o that_o will_v come_v to_o he_o must_v be_v very_o well_o assure_v that_o it_o be_v god_n to_o who_o he_o approach_v and_o therefore_o if_o he_o have_v but_o the_o least_o reason_n to_o doubt_v of_o it_o ought_v not_o to_o
