brief_o and_o compare_v our_o faith_n and_o practice_n in_o relation_n to_o the_o sacrament_n which_o be_v the_o most_o solemn_a branch_n of_o our_o devotion_n for_o i_o shall_v ever_o acknowledge_v it_o as_o a_o obligation_n from_o you_o if_o you_o will_v be_v fair_a in_o this_o particular_a and_o communicate_v your_o own_o thought_n free_o without_o prevarication_n whether_o you_o can_v submit_v your_o reason_n in_o this_o particular_a to_o that_o doctrine_n of_o your_o church_n that_o be_v so_o much_o against_o it_o whither_o you_o can_v believe_v in_o your_o conscience_n as_o it_o be_v open_o profess_v that_o a_o priest_n by_o consecrate_v bread_n and_o wine_n according_a to_o the_o missal_n can_v change_v their_o substance_n into_o that_o of_o god_n or_o so_o establish_v the_o divinity_n in_o those_o creature_n or_o under_o the_o covert_n of_o their_o accident_n as_o real_o to_o make_v they_o or_o what_o you_o see_v upon_o the_o table_n in_o their_o shape_n to_o become_v a_o proper_a object_n to_o be_v worship_v and_o adore_v for_o since_o nothing_o can_v be_v more_o absurd_a nor_o indeed_o more_o criminal_a in_o religion_n than_o to_o apply_v god_n worship_n to_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v not_o god_n there_o be_v nothing_o less_o than_o a_o belief_n of_o this_o particular_a that_o can_v be_v plead_v by_o you_o to_o justify_v your_o practice_n when_o you_o worship_n and_o adore_v the_o consecrate_a host_n in_o the_o constant_a exercise_n of_o your_o public_a devotion_n let_v we_o inquire_v therefore_o i_o beseech_v you_o into_o the_o foundation_n of_o this_o faith_n and_o how_o this_o notion_n which_o appear_v impossible_a to_o mankind_n shall_v come_v to_o have_v that_o credit_n in_o the_o church_n as_o to_o be_v make_v a_o principle_n of_o the_o christian_a religion_n and_o not_o only_o be_v receive_v as_o a_o article_n of_o faith_n but_o to_o be_v make_v the_o groundwork_n also_o of_o such_o a_o dangerous_a practice_n §_o 8._o the_o church_n of_o rome_n dogmatical_o tell_v we_o 1._o that_o our_o bless_a saviour_n at_o the_o institution_n of_o his_o holy_a supper_n change_v the_o substance_n of_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n into_o the_o substance_n of_o his_o own_o body_n and_o blood_n for_o say_v of_o the_o bread_n this_o be_v my_o body_n and_o of_o the_o wine_n this_o be_v my_o blood_n and_o in_o both_o expression_n be_v literal_o to_o be_v understand_v by_o all_o man_n his_o expression_n can_v be_v true_a except_o this_o change_n be_v real_o effect_v it_o be_v impossible_a in_o a_o literal_a sense_n that_o the_o same_o thing_n at_o the_o same_o time_n can_v be_v real_a bread_n and_o also_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n and_o therefore_o they_o believe_v that_o after_o the_o word_n of_o consecration_n be_v pronounce_v christ_n himself_o with_o his_o body_n and_o blood_n his_o soul_n and_o his_o divinity_n and_o not_o any_o long_a bread_n and_o wine_n do_v real_o remain_v upon_o the_o table_n and_o so_o they_o adore_v the_o consecrate_a host_n as_o be_v real_o then_o the_o person_n of_o christ_n who_o be_v the_o saviour_n god_n and_o judge_n of_o all_o the_o world_n now_o sir_n if_o you_o will_v but_o serious_o consider_v all_o those_o word_n which_o our_o saviour_n christ_n have_v speak_v on_o this_o subject_a together_o with_o the_o end_n design_n and_o occasion_n of_o his_o speak_v they_o it_o will_v not_o appear_v difficult_a to_o prove_v clear_o to_o you_o first_o that_o those_o word_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o thus_o literal_o to_o be_v interpret_v but_o direct_o contrary_a to_o this_o doctrine_n their_o true_a sense_n be_v altogether_o spiritual_a and_o mystical_a and_o 2_o ●ly_o that_o if_o they_o be_v literal_o to_o be_v understand_v by_o all_o man_n even_o in_o the_o utmost_a sense_n those_o word_n can_v bear_v yet_o they_o will_v neither_o assert_v what_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n decree_n nor_o justify_v your_o practice_n in_o worship_v the_o host_n §_o 9_o first_o i_o say_v that_o the_o word_n of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n in_o the_o institution_n of_o this_o sacrament_n can_v be_v understand_v in_o a_o literal_a sense_n but_o must_v have_v a_o sigurative_a or_o mystical_a signification_n and_o this_o do_v appear_v full_o from_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n the_o design_n of_o the_o institution_n the_o occasion_n of_o the_o expression_n and_o our_o saviour_n own_o judgement_n as_o to_o their_o interpretation_n as_o to_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n it_o be_v a_o sufficient_a proof_n that_o any_o text_n of_o scripture_n be_v not_o literal_o to_o be_v understand_v by_o christian_n if_o its_o common_a read_n contradict_v the_o rule_n of_o sense_n and_o principle_n of_o philosophy_n or_o destroy_v the_o groundwork_n of_o all_o certainty_n and_o knowledge_n and_o so_o root_v up_o the_o foundation_n of_o religion_n in_o general_n and_o if_o a_o man_n by_o be_v a_o christian_n be_v to_o take_v those_o word_n of_o christ_n in_o a_o literal_a sense_n and_o to_o believe_v that_o that_o be_v flesh_n which_o by_o his_o sight_n touch_n taste_n and_o smell_v he_o full_o and_o clear_o discover_v to_o be_v bread_n all_o those_o recite_v mischief_n be_v the_o necessary_a consequence_n and_o there_o can_v be_v no_o rule_n of_o any_o certainty_n in_o religion_n in_o so_o much_o that_o no_o man_n can_v be_v sure_a that_o there_o be_v a_o bible_n or_o that_o any_o such_o word_n as_o these_o we_o treat_v of_o be_v record_v in_o it_o or_o indeed_o that_o any_o thing_n else_o be_v write_v in_o order_n to_o his_o salvation_n if_o he_o must_v not_o trust_v his_o sense_n be_v right_o dispose_v in_o relation_n to_o a_o proper_a object_n with_o a_o fit_a medium_fw-la if_o you_o say_v that_o this_o be_v a_o improper_a object_n because_o it_o be_v a_o substance_n when_o accident_n alone_o do_v incur_v the_o sense_n i_o say_v that_o there_o be_v no_o other_o way_n to_o know_v a_o substance_n but_o by_o the_o accident_n that_o be_v proper_a to_o it_o and_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a for_o all_o the_o accident_n that_o be_v proper_a to_o one_o subject_a to_o inhere_o another_o it_o will_v be_v impossible_a to_o determine_v which_o be_v which_o or_o ever_o true_o to_o distinguish_v any_o one_o thing_n from_o another_o but_o it_o be_v also_o evident_a that_o a_o humane_a body_n be_v the_o real_a thing_n we_o here_o treat_v of_o and_o that_o this_o be_v a_o proper_a object_n for_o our_o sense_n appear_v plain_o to_o we_o from_o the_o practice_n of_o our_o saviour_n in_o that_o he_o recur_v unto_o they_o even_o after_o his_o resurrection_n and_o make_v they_o the_o only_a judge_n of_o his_o bodily_a substance_n behold_v say_v he_o luke_n xxiv_o 39_o my_o hand_n and_o my_o foot_n that_o it_o be_v i_o myself_o handle_v and_o see_v for_o a_o spirit_n have_v not_o flesh_n and_o bone_n as_o you_o see_v i_o have_v so_o that_o either_o this_o body_n of_o christ_n suppose_v in_o the_o sacrament_n must_v be_v a_o proper_a object_n for_o our_o sense_n or_o it_o be_v not_o that_o body_n of_o christ_n wherewith_o he_o arise_v from_o the_o dead_a and_o the_o priest_n must_v create_v another_o body_n such_o as_o our_o saviour_n never_o have_v before_o he_o can_v adapt_v it_o to_o this_o doctrine_n of_o the_o sacrament_n it_o be_v therefore_o evident_o a_o device_n of_o the_o schoolman_n to_o impose_v upon_o the_o vulgar_a that_o they_o general_o discourse_v thus_o of_o the_o object_n of_o one_o science_n in_o term_n and_o notion_n that_o be_v peculiar_a to_o another_o and_o instead_o of_o matter_n and_o form_n wherein_o the_o essence_n of_o a_o body_n do_v consist_v and_o which_o do_v evident_o demonstrate_v that_o every_o humane_a body_n do_v consist_v of_o limb_n have_v flesh_n and_o bone_n with_o that_o
