concern_v the_o sacrament_n of_o union_n point_n the_o lord_n supper_n which_o be_v the_o chief_a of_o those_o several_a positive_a institution_n of_o religion_n which_o christ_n have_v ordain_v in_o his_o church_n there_o be_v many_o great_a difference_n even_o between_o protestant_n themselves_o it_o be_v no_o wonder_n therefore_o if_o there_o be_v as_o many_o between_o protestant_n and_o catholic_n of_o these_o the_o author_n give_v two_o instance_n the_o one_o about_o the_o doctrine_n of_o transubstantiation_n the_o other_o about_o the_o administration_n of_o this_o sacrament_n to_o the_o people_n in_o both_o kind_n as_o for_o that_o of_o transubstantiation_n he_o will_v have_v do_v well_o to_o have_v tell_v we_o in_o what_o supposition_n he_o mean_v to_o take_v the_o word_n in_o

signify_v that_o presence_n not_o with_o the_o bread_n but_o by_o its_o be_v change_v into_o his_o body_n this_o be_v a_o difference_n indeed_o and_o the_o only_a proper_a one_o in_o this_o supposition_n between_o he_o and_o catholic_n in_o this_o matter_n but_o then_o if_o he_o will_v have_v proceed_v sincere_o and_o as_o one_o that_o be_v real_o master_n of_o so_o much_o sense_n as_o he_o talk_v of_o in_o this_o treatise_n he_o shall_v have_v hold_v to_o his_o point_n and_o not_o impugn_a what_o he_o suppose_v but_o if_o he_o suppose_v no_o such_o real_a or_o substantial_a presence_n of_o christ_n body_n and_o under_o the_o name_n of_o transubstantiation_n fight_v express_o against_o the_o real_a presence_n through_o his_o whole_a discourse_n as_o it_o be_v evident_a he_o do_v and_o therefore_o aught_o to_o have_v call_v it_o a_o discourse_n against_o the_o real_a presence_n and_o its_o consequence_n transubstantiation_n and_o not_o a_o discourse_n only_o against_o transubstantiation_n then_o the_o difference_n be_v not_o only_o as_o he_o will_v make_v it_o with_o the_o catholic_n but_o with_o the_o lutheran_n also_o and_o those_o of_o his_o own_o

no_o less_o true_o than_o catholic_o do_v but_o however_o he_o compose_v this_o difference_n with_o they_o yet_o the_o catholic_n as_o for_o their_o tenent_n do_v not_o think_v only_o as_o he_o say_v

on_o their_o side_n and_o for_o the_o other_o point_n viz._n the_o administration_n of_o the_o sacrament_n in_o both_o kind_n they_o be_v sure_a that_o neither_o he_o nor_o any_o of_o his_o party_n

speak_v the_o word_n the_o latter_a of_o which_o be_v the_o general_a opinion_n of_o catholic_n the_o proposition_n be_v strict_o true_a in_o a_o proper_a sense_n i_o shall_v only_o premise_v one_o thing_n more_o sacrament_n before_o i_o examine_v the_o author_n pretend_a proof_n from_o scripture_n because_o i_o will_v by_o no_o mean_n make_v the_o breach_n betwixt_o we_o wide_a than_o it_o be_v which_o be_v this_o that_o catholic_n acknowledge_v a_o figure_n in_o the_o sacrament_n no_o less_o than_o protestant_n thus_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n before_o consecration_n be_v distinct_a thing_n and_o separate_v one_o from_o the_o other_o do_v resemble_v christ_n body_n and_o blood_n separate_v upon_o the_o cross_n and_o his_o soul_n separate_v from_o his_o body_n although_o they_o can_v not_o do_v this_o in_o their_o own_o nature_n and_o till_o after_o the_o first_o institution_n they_o be_v expose_v upon_o the_o altar_n for_o such_o a_o use_n as_o may_v make_v we_o consider_v they_o as_o such_o resemblance_n since_o there_o be_v not_o so_o much_o of_o natural_a likeness_n as_o to_o call_v the_o idea_n of_o the_o passion_n into_o our_o mind_n we_o believe_v also_o that_o after_o consecration_n christ_n body_n in_o the_o sacrament_n under_o the_o veil_n of_o the_o species_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n be_v a_o figure_n similitude_n or_o examplar_n of_o the_o same_o body_n of_o christ_n as_o it_o suffer_v upon_o the_o cross_n in_o like_a manner_n as_o his_o body_n when_o new_o bear_v be_v a_o resemblance_n and_o exemplar_n and_o express_v image_n of_o his_o body_n at_o full_a growth_n but_o this_o we_o conclude_v not_o from_o those_o word_n of_o our_o lord_n this_o be_v my_o body_n which_o must_v still_o be_v understand_v in_o a_o proper_a sense_n but_o from_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n itself_o after_o the_o institution_n know_v to_o be_v make_v from_o whence_o we_o firm_o believe_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n to_o be_v there_o it_o be_v of_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o sacrament_n to_o represent_v and_o exhibit_v something_o more_o unto_o we_o than_o what_o it_o outward_o appear_v to_o be_v i_o now_o proceed_v to_o consider_v the_o expression_n which_o the_o author_n produce_v out_o of_o scripture_n by_o which_o he_o will_v prove_v a_o figurative_a presence_n of_o christ_n body_n in_o opposition_n to_o a_o real_a one_o in_o the_o catholic_a sense_n and_o this_o be_v the_o main_a proof_n upon_o which_o those_o who_o have_v renounce_v the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n do_v pretend_v to_o build_v their_o faith_n since_o they_o allow_v that_o nothing_o ought_v to_o be_v admit_v as_o a_o article_n of_o faith_n which_o be_v not_o clear_o deduce_v from_o hence_o and_o consequent_o nothing_o aught_o to_o be_v condemn_v as_o contrary_a to_o the_o christian_a faith_n but_o what_o be_v manifest_o repugnant_a to_o this_o from_o hence_o then_o it_o be_v that_o he_o shall_v bring_v a_o evidence_n which_o be_v able_a to_o overthrow_v the_o authority_n of_o so_o many_o council_n and_o several_a of_o they_o general_a one_o as_o have_v determine_v this_o point_n against_o he_o and_o to_o show_v plain_o that_o the_o whole_a true_a visible_a church_n of_o christ_n which_o have_v for_o near_o mdcc_o year_n receive_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o real_a presence_n of_o christ_n body_n have_v err_v in_o so_o necessary_a a_o point_n of_o faith_n and_o be_v guilty_a of_o idolatry_n even_o grosser_n than_o that_o of_o the_o heathen_a world_n as_o the_o author_n pretend_v notwithstanding_o the_o evidence_n of_o the_o same_o holy_a scripture_n that_o the_o holy_a spirit_n shall_v lead_v it_o into_o all_o truth_n and_o that_o the_o gate_n of_o hell_n shall_v not_o be_v able_a to_o prevail_v against_o it_o let_v we_o see_v therefore_o how_o well_o he_o acquit_v himself_o in_o this_o vast_a enterprise_n of_o so_o great_a concern_v to_o the_o christian_a world._n his_o argument_n from_o scripture_n be_v this_o there_o be_v other_o expression_n in_o scripture_n which_o be_v take_v figurative_o therefore_o this_o must_v be_v so_o take_v out_o of_o the_o innumerable_a like_o expression_n in_o holy_a scripture_n as_o he_o be_v please_v to_o term_v they_o he_o cit_v two_o very_a different_a sort_n the_o first_o be_v bare_o figurative_a such_o as_o be_v use_v in_o ordinary_a human_a discourse_n as_o well_o as_o scripture_n without_o prepare_v of_o the_o mind_n of_o the_o hearer_n beforehand_o that_o he_o may_v receive_v they_o then_o he_o compare_v the_o word_n of_o our_o lord_n institution_n to_o a_o dream_n or_o vision_n of_o the_o night_n that_o be_v to_o be_v interpret_v which_o indeed_o have_v something_o more_o of_o resemblance_n than_o the_o former_a expression_n which_o he_o allege_v because_o it_o be_v know_v that_o the_o thing_n which_o be_v represent_v in_o dream_n and_o vision_n be_v not_o real_a but_o imaginary_a yet_o since_o they_o be_v sometime_o consider_v as_o represent_v real_a thing_n that_o be_v to_o come_v to_o pass_v they_o be_v of_o the_o nature_n of_o sign_n of_o institution_n and_o so_o may_v come_v near_o to_o the_o case_n in_o hand_n but_o he_o seem_v to_o be_v soon_o weary_a of_o these_o resemblance_n which_o be_v so_o different_a in_o nature_n one_o from_o the_o other_o be_v not_o like_a to_o agree_v to_o the_o same_o three_o thing_n the_o sacrament_n then_o he_o fly_v from_o scripture_n to_o justin_n martyr_n testimony_n concern_v the_o ancient_a form_n of_o the_o passover_n use_v by_o the_o jew_n yet_o he_o know_v not_o whether_o he_o shall_v stick_v to_o this_o expression_n which_o be_v sacrifical_a or_o sacramental_a and_o so_o most_o likely_a to_o resemble_v the_o sacramental_a about_o which_o he_o argue_v or_o the_o former_a which_o be_v not_o so_o for_o he_o begin_v his_o period_n thus_o whether_o we_o consider_v the_o like_a expression_n in_o scripture_n as_o where_o our_o saviour_n say_v etc._n etc._n or_o whether_o we_o compare_v these_o word_n with_o the_o ancient_a form_n of_o the_o passover_n and_o i_o be_o sure_a these_o be_v not_o of_o a_o like_a nature_n with_o the_o other_o sure_o there_o be_v no_o man_n
