thence_o infer_v a_o concurrence_n of_o some_o of_o our_o divine_n with_o he_o in_o this_o particular_a to_o wit_n pag._n 4._o that_o there_o be_v not_o one_o place_n of_o scripture_n so_o express_v that_o without_o the_o determination_n of_o the_o church_n it_o will_v evident_o compel_v a_o man_n to_o receive_v transubstantiation_n and_o the_o same_o may_v as_o well_o be_v say_v of_o the_o consubstantiality_n of_o the_o son_n that_o there_o be_v no_o scripture_n so_o express_v as_o without_o out_o the_o determination_n of_o the_o church_n it_o will_v evident_o compel_v a_o man_n to_o

the_o holy_a father_n to_o disprove_v the_o real_a presence_n it_o have_v be_v something_o though_o not_o to_o your_o purpose_n for_o the_o request_n be_v pag._n 4._o to_o satisfy_v you_o by_o the_o scripture_n only_o and_o not_o by_o cite_v of_o our_o modern_a divine_n or_o ancient_a greek_n and_o latin_a father_n but_o by_o the_o express_a text_n and_o plain_a word_n of_o god_n as_o write_a and_o set_v forth_o in_o our_o english_a bibles_n and_o no_o otherwise_o and_o this_o be_v the_o rule_n that_o i_o walk_v by_o in_o my_o answer_n not_o that_o i_o thereby_o renounce_v the_o
