sacrament_n but_o the_o truth_n be_v those_o horrid_a calumny_n be_v charge_v on_o the_o christian_n from_o the_o execrable_a and_o abominable_a practice_n of_o the_o gnostic_n who_o call_v themselves_o christian_n and_o the_o enemy_n of_o the_o faith_n either_o believe_v these_o be_v the_o practice_n of_o all_o christian_n or_o be_v desirous_a to_o have_v other_o think_v so_o do_v accuse_v the_o whole_a body_n of_o christian_n as_o guilty_a of_o these_o abomination_n so_o that_o it_o appear_v those_o calumny_n be_v not_o at_o all_o take_v up_o from_o the_o eucharist_n and_o there_o be_v nothing_o else_o that_o be_v so_o much_o as_o say_v to_o have_v any_o relation_n to_o the_o eucharist_n charge_v on_o the_o christian_n we_o may_v well_o conclude_v from_o hence_o that_o this_o doctrine_n be_v not_o receive_v then_o in_o the_o church_n but_o another_o negative_a argument_n be_v that_o we_o find_v heresy_n rise_v up_o in_o all_o age_n against_o all_o the_o other_o mystery_n of_o our_o faith_n and_o some_o downright_a deny_v they_o other_o explain_v they_o very_o strange_o and_o it_o be_v indeed_o very_o natural_a to_o a_o unmortified_a and_o corrupt_a mind_n to_o reject_v all_o divine_a revelation_n more_o particular_o that_o which_o either_o choke_v his_o common_a notion_n or_o the_o deduction_n of_o appear_a reason_n but_o most_o of_o all_o all_o man_n
