baptism_n be_v absolute_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n than_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n be_v bind_v to_o the_o sacrament_n this_o can_v be_v deny_v but_o your_o master_n of_o sentence_n say_v that_o

thirdlie_o if_o circumcision_n be_v not_o absolute_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n than_o baptism_n be_v not_o absolute_o necessary_a now_o because_o circumcision_n be_v

almost_o 40_o year_n circumcision_n be_v neglect_v which_o plain_o show_v that_o it_o be_v not_o so_o absolute_o necessary_a that_o salvation_n can_v not_o be_v obtain_v without_o it_o therefore_o baptism_n be_v not_o so_o absolute_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n as_o you_o suppose_v for_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n be_v of_o no_o less_o force_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n than_o it_o be_v in_o

which_o he_o will_v never_o have_v say_v if_o he_o have_v think_v it_o absolute_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n and_o bernard_n say_v i_o can_v altogether_o despair_v of_o the_o salvation_n of_o they_o who_o want_v baptism_n not_o through_o contempt_n but_o only_o through_o impossibility_n to_o get_v it_o and_o in_o that_o same_o place_n he_o say_v so_o also_o if_o our_o saviour_n christ_n for_o

it_o be_v not_o of_o that_o which_o he_o speak_v here_o second_o he_o speak_v of_o that_o eat_n and_o drink_v of_o his_o flesh_n and_o blood_n which_o whosoever_o so_o do_v have_v eternal_a life_n to_o themselves_o so_o our_o saviour_n christ_n promise_v in_o the_o 54._o verse_n but_o your_o own_o doctrine_n be_v that_o the_o reprobat_fw-la eat_n and_o drink_v christ_n body_n and_o blood_n in_o

and_o doctrine_n which_o be_v gainsay_v by_o the_o plain_a testimony_n of_o the_o scripture_n which_o destroy_v the_o article_n of_o our_o faith_n and_o the_o fundamental_a point_n of_o our_o

gainsay_v by_o the_o plain_a testimony_n of_o the_o scripture_n your_o interpretation_n be_v that_o there_o remain_v no_o true_a bread_n nor_o wine_n in_o the_o sacrament_n but_o the_o substance_n of_o it_o be_v change_v but_o matthew_n mark_v luke_n and_o the_o apostle_n all_o four_o testify_v that_o christ_n take_v bread_n break_v it_o and_o give_v it_o to_o his_o disciple_n and_o lest_o

the_o rest_n which_o be_v exceed_v many_o and_o because_o if_o you_o be_v a_o right_a defender_n of_o the_o catholic_n faith_n you_o will_v say_v with_o the_o rest_n of_o your_o clergy_n that_o the_o
