hear_v the_o exception_n of_o protestant_n against_o each_o of_o these_o mystery_n against_o transubstantiation_n they_o object_v the_o evidence_n of_o our_o sense_n it_o never_o be_v read_v in_o scripture_n say_v they_o that_o god_n by_o a_o miracle_n deceive_v man_n sense_n or_o make_v appear_v to_o they_o one_o thing_n for_o another_o moses_n and_o aaron_n rod_n in_o egypt_n be_v real_o convert_v into_o a_o serpent_n and_o seem_v so_o also_o to_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o spectator_n the_o magician_n rod_n seem_v to_o be_v serpent_n to_o the_o sense_n but_o real_o be_v not_o from_o hence_o they_o conclude_v that_o by_o false_a miracle_n and_o illusion_n the_o sense_n may_v be_v deceive_v but_o never_o by_o true_a supernatural_a sign_n or_o miracle_n against_o transubstantiation_n they_o object_v also_o novelty_n of_o the_o word_n and_o of_o the_o thing_n define_v which_o be_v in_o the_o council_n of_o lateran_n first_o and_o after_o in_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n 3_o as_o for_o worship_n of_o image_n they_o look_v upon_o it_o as_o idolatry_n or_o at_o least_o as_o a_o thing_n incline_v the_o common_a people_n to_o it_o and_o therefore_o both_o dangerous_a and_o unlawful_a some_o object_n also_o novelty_n against_o it_o the_o first_o time_n say_v they_o worship_n of_o image_n be_v hear_v of_o be_v some_o 800._o year_n ago_o in_o the_o second_o council_n of_o nice_a 4_o now_o to_o their_o first_o exception_n and_o the_o evidence_n of_o their_o sense_n against_o transubstantiation_n i_o answer_v that_o the_o sense_n be_v not_o deceive_v because_o according_a to_o common_a philosophy_n their_o proper_a object_n which_o be_v the_o accident_n do_v remain_v but_o see_v divers_a both_o catholic_n and_o protestant_n do_v deny_v that_o there_o be_v any_o accident_n separable_a from_o their_o proper_a substance_n my_o second_o answer_n be_v that_o there_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o miracle_n some_o miracle_n be_v wrought_v not_o to_o be_v see_v but_o to_o be_v believe_v because_o they_o be_v not_o only_a miracle_n but_o also_o mystery_n of_o christian_a faith_n the_o incarnation_n or_o union_n of_o god_n and_o man_n in_o one_o person_n be_v one_o of_o the_o great_a miracle_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o do_v to_o be_v see_v or_o manifest_v to_o our_o sense_n in_o this_o life_n but_o be_v conceal_v from_o they_o to_o be_v believe_v the_o miracle_n of_o transubstantiation_n be_v call_v by_o christ_n himself_o mysterium_fw-la fidei_fw-la a_o mystery_n of_o faith_n it_o be_v not_o do_v to_o be_v perceive_v by_o our_o sense_n but_o to_o be_v believe_v by_o our_o understanding_n 5_o other_o miracle_n there_o be_v which_o have_v be_v wrought_v by_o god_n to_o the_o end_n they_o may_v move_v we_o to_o believe_v not_o themselves_o for_o they_o be_v see_v and_o manifest_a but_o some_o other_o reveal_v truth_n these_o miracle_n be_v patent_n to_o our_o sense_n because_o they_o give_v we_o sufficient_a evidence_n that_o the_o mystery_n of_o faith_n may_v prudent_o be_v credit_v as_o divine_a revelation_n such_o be_v moses_n his_o miracle_n in_o egypt_n the_o rod_n be_v not_o turn_v into_o a_o serpent_n that_o pharaoh_n and_o the_o egyptian_n shall_v believe_v what_o they_o do_v see_v with_o their_o eye_n but_o that_o they_o shall_v believe_v somewhat_o else_o to_o wit_n that_o moses_n be_v send_v by_o god_n 6_o suppose_v this_o difference_n between_o miracle_n there_o can_v be_v no_o difficulty_n in_o answer_v the_o objection_n make_v by_o protestant_n against_o transubstantiation_n miracle_n which_o be_v not_o wrought_v principal_o to_o the_o end_n that_o they_o may_v be_v believe_v by_o faith_n but_o rather_o to_o the_o end_n they_o may_v be_v evident_o see_v and_o by_o their_o mean_n other_o mystery_n believe_v can_v not_o deceive_v the_o sense_n because_o than_o they_o will_v be_v of_o no_o use_n god_n providence_n and_o end_n in_o work_v they_o will_v be_v frustrate_v miracle_n which_o be_v together_o mystery_n of_o faith_n and_o be_v do_v that_o they_o may_v be_v believe_v and_o not_o see_v must_v not_o appear_v evident_o to_o our_o sense_n but_o rather_o be_v conceal_v from_o they_o otherwise_o we_o shall_v have_v evidence_n and_o belief_n of_o one_o thing_n in_o the_o same_o time_n the_o mystery_n of_o transubstantiation_n be_v a_o miracle_n not_o to_o be_v evident_o see_v but_o to_o be_v believe_v therefore_o it_o be_v no_o marvel_n that_o it_o be_v not_o patent_n to_o our_o sense_n when_o christ_n turn_v water_n into_o wine_n he_o do_v it_o in_o such_o a_o manner_n that_o the_o sense_n perceive_v it_o to_o be_v wine_n because_o from_o that_o evident_a and_o sensible_a miracle_n they_o may_v infer_v and_o believe_v that_o he_o be_v the_o true_a messiah_n but_o when_o he_o change_v bread_n and_o wine_n into_o his_o own_o body_n and_o blood_n there_o be_v no_o appearance_n of_o change_n it_o seem_v to_o remain_v still_o bread_n because_o the_o insensible_a change_n of_o one_o substance_n to_o another_o be_v a_o mystery_n to_o be_v credit_v and_o not_o to_o be_v see_v the_o manna_n which_o be_v a_o figure_n of_o the_o bless_a sacrament_n of_o the_o altar_n do_v savour_n to_o the_o jew_n whatsoever_o they_o fancy_v though_o it_o remain_v the_o same_o substance_n it_o be_v before_o i_o see_v therefore_o no_o reason_n why_o we_o christian_n shall_v give_v more_o credit_n to_o our_o palate_n than_o the_o jew_n who_o have_v as_o much_o reason_n to_o doubt_v of_o the_o manna_n as_o we_o of_o the_o sacrament_n nay_o we_o have_v less_o because_o christ_n word_n be_v so_o absolute_o and_o clear_a this_o be_v my_o body_n if_o it_o be_v his_o body_n it_o be_v not_o bread_n be_v impossible_a that_o christ_n body_n shall_v be_v bread_n 7_o see_v god_n will_v not_o have_v the_o mystery_n of_o transubstantiation_n be_v evident_a to_o our_o sense_n it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v think_v either_o superfluous_a or_o incredible_a that_o the_o species_n or_o appearance_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n work_v the_o same_o effect_n which_o their_o substance_n will_v have_v do_v if_o it_o be_v present_a for_o god_n be_v as_o coherent_a in_o supernatural_a thing_n as_o in_o natural_a its_o necessary_a therefore_o for_o the_o concealment_n of_o this_o mystery_n and_o for_o the_o merit_n of_o christian_a faith_n that_o no_o want_n of_o the_o substance_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n may_v be_v perceive_v in_o the_o sacrament_n by_o any_o curious_a experience_n of_o man_n who_o will_v eat_v and_o drink_v only_o conscerate_v species_n the_o not_o manifest_v this_o great_a mystery_n to_o our_o sense_n require_v that_o the_o same_o effect_n be_v work_v by_o the_o species_n as_o by_o bread_n and_o wine_n 8_o some_o protestant_n think_v it_o a_o contradiction_n that_o one_o body_n be_v present_a in_o many_o place_n together_o but_o all_o catholic_n hold_v that_o christ_n body_n and_o blood_n have_v a_o spiritual_a presence_n in_o the_o sacrament_n which_o once_o grant_v there_o can_v be_v no_o difficulty_n in_o believe_v that_o our_o saviour_n body_n and_o blood_n may_v be_v in_o many_o place_n at_o the_o same_o time_n because_o it_o be_v grant_v to_o all_o thing_n which_o have_v a_o spiritual_a presence_n 9_o if_o any_o inquire_v how_o can_v a_o body_n have_v a_o spiritual_a presence_n i_o answer_v he_o with_o demand_v how_o can_v a_o spirit_n have_v a_o corporal_a presence_n how_o can_v a_o angel_n have_v the_o appearance_n and_o presence_n of_o a_o young_a man_n whereof_o there_o be_v many_o example_n in_o scripture_n whence_o it_o follow_v that_o our_o sense_n may_v be_v deceive_v or_o to_o speak_v more_o proper_o may_v give_v occasion_n to_o the_o understanding_n to_o be_v deceive_v not_o only_o in_o the_o mystery_n of_o transubstantiation_n but_o also_o in_o other_o express_v in_o scripture_n which_o be_v contrary_a to_o what_o our_o adversary_n object_n angel_n seem_v to_o the_o eye_n of_o abraham_n josue_n tobias_n and_o other_o to_o be_v young_a man_n and_o yet_o they_o be_v not_o man_n but_o spirit_n 10_o as_o for_o their_o say_n that_o transubstantiation_n be_v a_o novelty_n bring_v into_o the_o church_n by_o the_o council_n of_o lateran_n a_o 1215._o it_o be_v a_o mistake_n because_o the_o very_a condemn_v of_o of_o berengarius_fw-la as_o a_o heretic_n for_o impugn_v this_o mystery_n do_v demonstrate_v it_o be_v no_o novelty_n but_o believe_v as_o a_o atticle_n of_o faith_n not_o only_o before_o the_o council_n of_o lateran_n but_o since_o the_o apostle_n for_o otherwise_o how_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o the_o patriarch_n of_o jerusalem_n and_o constantinople_n 70._o metropolitanes_n 400._o bishop_n and_o 800._o conventuall_a prior_n who_o be_v present_a at_o that_o council_n shall_v all_o agree_v to_o declare_v transubstantiation_n to_o have_v be_v reveal_v by_o god_n to_o the_o primitive_a church_n and_o yet_o the_o same_o to_o be_v at_o the_o same_o
