john_n gospel_n above_o mention_v as_o also_o the_o word_n of_o our_o saviour_n institution_n be_v take_v in_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o reality_n or_o transubstantiation_n that_o there_o be_v no_o promise_n to_o be_v find_v in_o holy_a writ_n of_o any_o spiritual_a virtue_n to_o accompany_v this_o sacrament_n so_o that_o our_o adversary_n whilst_o they_o be_v so_o eager_a to_o oppose_v the_o reality_n do_v as_o much_o as_o in_o they_o lie_v destroy_v the_o nature_n and_o end_n of_o this_o bless_a institution_n and_o have_v no_o argument_n at_o all_o to_o use_v against_o the_o socinian_n who_o deny_v the_o real_a virtue_n as_o well_o as_o the_o real_a presence_n of_o christ_n body_n in_o the_o sacrament_n which_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o i_o do_v sometime_o term_v this_o virtue_n which_o the_o author_n without_o ground_n conceive_v to_o be_v in_o this_o ordinance_n though_o separate_v from_o christ_n real_a body_n imaginary_a because_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n to_o conclude_v the_o virtue_n of_o the_o body_n to_o be_v here_o from_o scripture_n unless_o the_o body_n be_v so_o too_o not_o that_o i_o will_v derogate_v at_o all_o from_o the_o virtue_n of_o christ_n body_n which_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o hypostatical_a union_n be_v infinite_a but_o this_o task_n be_v already_o perform_v by_o a_o learned_a modern_a 2._o author_n and_o the_o reader_n may_v easy_o discern_v the_o truth_n of_o what_o i_o have_v here_o assert_v by_o inspect_v such_o place_n of_o holy_a scripture_n as_o relate_v to_o this_o sacrament_n into_o the_o number_n of_o which_o they_o will_v not_o allow_v the_o six_o chapter_n of_o st._n john_n gospel_n to_o be_v admit_v have_v therefore_o thus_o explain_v those_o place_n of_o holy_a scripture_n which_o relate_v to_o the_o bless_a sacrament_n as_o also_o those_o other_o form_n of_o speak_v both_o of_o divine_a and_o human_a authority_n which_o the_o author_n be_v please_v to_o compare_v with_o the_o word_n of_o our_o lord_n institution_n and_o show_v upon_o compare_v they_o together_o that_o they_o will_v not_o at_o all_o fit_a his_o purpose_n but_o prove_v the_o quite_o contrary_a to_o what_o he_o will_v have_v they_o to_o do_v i_o shall_v now_o sum_v up_o such_o of_o the_o reason_n and_o argument_n for_o the_o understanding_n the_o word_n in_o which_o our_o saviour_n institute_v this_o bless_a sacrament_n in_o a_o proper_a sense_n as_o the_o catholic_a church_n expound_v they_o as_o be_v plain_o deduce_v from_o the_o nature_n and_o end_n of_o this_o holy_a institution_n and_o the_o manner_n of_o express_v it_o in_o holy_a scripture_n which_o i_o entreat_v the_o christian_a reader_n serious_o to_o consider_v of_o and_o so_o conclude_v this_o head_n of_o discourse_n 1._o institution_n because_o christ_n the_o great_a lover_n of_o soul_n never_o speak_v to_o his_o apostle_n and_o disciple_n in_o figure_n and_o parable_n which_o have_v any_o obscurity_n or_o difficult_a sense_n especial_o if_o the_o discourse_v relate_v to_o the_o practice_n of_o a_o necessary_a duty_n with_o a_o intention_n to_o keep_v they_o in_o ignorance_n but_o 13._o that_o their_o humble_a and_o well_o dispose_v mind_n may_v be_v the_o more_o excite_a and_o inflame_v with_o a_o desire_n of_o inquire_v into_o and_o understand_v the_o true_a meaning_n of_o what_o he_o say_v and_o that_o they_o may_v the_o better_o retain_v it_o and_o because_o in_o all_o such_o case_n even_o of_o less_o difficulty_n than_o this_o of_o the_o sacrament_n as_o particular_o in_o the_o parable_n of_o the_o sour_a of_o seed_n although_o the_o mystery_n concern_v the_o success_n of_o the_o gospel_n which_o be_v herein_o prefigure_v be_v not_o necessary_a for_o every_o one_o to_o know_v as_o that_o of_o the_o eucharist_n be_v christ_n do_v full_o explain_v himself_o to_o his_o disciple_n who_o be_v also_o to_o instruct_v other_o therefore_o since_o the_o word_n of_o the_o institution_n of_o the_o bless_a sacrament_n
