A56393 Reasons for abrogating the test imposed upon all members of Parliament, anno 1678, Octob. 30 in these words, I A.B. do solemnly and sincerely, in the presence of God, profess, testifie, and declare, that I do believe that in the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper there is not any transubstantiation of the elements of bread and wine into the body and blood of Christ, at, or after the consecration thereof by any person whatsoever, and that the invocation or adoration of the Virgin Mary, or any other saint, and the sacrifice of the mass, as they are now used in the Church of Rome, are superstitious and idolatrous : first written for the author's own satisfaction, and now published for the benefit of all others whom it may concern.

〈◊〉_d but_o as_o for_o any_o philosophical_a notion_n of_o the_o mystery_n the_o church_n never_o presume_v to_o define_v it_o and_o this_o be_v the_o definition_n of_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n of_o the_o real_a presence_n that_o there_o be_v a_o conversion_n of_o the_o substance_n under_o the_o species_n or_o appearance_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n which_o the_o church_n have_v think_v

and_o that_o the_o name_n of_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n be_v give_v to_o they_o because_o they_o be_v the_o instrument_n by_o which_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v give_v to_o we_o this_o

nothing_o but_o the_o dove_n for_o the_o essence_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v invisible_a but_o he_o know_v the_o vision_n not_o to_o be_v a_o vain_a apparition_n but_o a_o certain_a sign_n of_o the_o presence_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n represent_v to_o he_o in_o that_o manner_n that_o he_o be_v able_a to_o bear_v the_o representation_n the_o same_o thing_n be_v to_o be_v say_v in_o the_o communion_n of_o our_o saviour_n body_n and_o blood_n that_o it_o be_v a_o spiritual_a mystery_n neither_o to_o be_v behold_v with_o eye_n nor_o comprehend_v with_o humane_a understanding_n and_o therefore_o be_v represent_v by_o figure_n and_o sing_v that_o as_o the_o weakness_n of_o our_o nature_n require_v fall_v under_o our_o sense_n so_o as_o it_o be_v not_o a_o bare_a and_o simple_a figure_n but_o conjoin_v with_o its_o reality_n and_o substance_n therefore_o the_o bread_n be_v proper_o call_v the_o body_n when_o it_o do_v not_o only_o represent_v it_o but_o also_o bring_v it_o to_o we_o and_o therefore_o we_o will_v ready_o grant_v that_o the_o name_n of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n may_v be_v transfer_v to_o the_o bread_n because_o it_o be_v the_o sacrament_n and_o emblem_n of_o it_o but_o then_o we_o must_v add_v that_o the_o sacrament_n be_v by_o no_o mean_n to_o be_v separate_v from_o the_o substance_n and_o reality_n and_o that_o they_o may_v not_o be_v confound_v it_o be_v not_o only_o convenient_a but_o altogether_o necessary_a to_o distinguish_v between_o they_o but_o intolerable_o absurd_a to_o divide_v one_o from_o the_o other_o wherefore_o when_o we_o see_v the_o visible_a sign_n what_o it_o represent_v we_o ought_v to_o reflect_v from_o who_o it_o be_v give_v we_o for_o the_o bread_n be_v give_v as_o a_o representation_n of_o the_o

that_o he_o in_o reality_n give_v whatever_o be_v there_o represent_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o we_o real_o receive_v the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n see_v the_o communion_n of_o both_o be_v represent_v to_o we_o for_o to_o what_o purpose_n shall_v he_o command_v we_o to_o eat_v the_o bread_n and_o drink_v the_o wine_n as_o signify_v his_o body_n and_o blood_n if_o without_o some_o spiritual_a reality_n we_o only_o receive_v the_o bread_n and_o wine_n will_v he_o not_o vain_o and_o absurd_o have_v institute_v this_o mystery_n and_o as_o we_o frenchman_n say_v by_o false_a representation_n therefore_o we_o must_v acknowledge_v that_o if_o god_n give_v we_o a_o true_a representation_n in_o the_o supper_n that_o the_o invisible_a substance_n of_o the_o sacrament_n be_v join_v with_o the_o visible_a sign_n and_o as_o the_o bread_n be_v distribute_v by_o hand_n so_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n be_v communicate_v to_o we_o to_o be_v partaker_n of_o it_o this_o certain_o if_o there_o be_v nothing_o else_o ought_v abundant_o to_o satisfy_v we_o when_o by_o it_o we_o understand_v that_o in_o the_o supper_n of_o our_o lord_n christ_n give_v we_o the_o
