a_o particular_a to_o a_o universal_a be_v to_o declare_v his_o own_o ignorance_n in_o print_n we_o papist_n then_o say_v when_o ever_o our_o sense_n represent_v we_o a_o object_n as_o such_o unless_o there_o intervene_v a_o proof_n more_o prevalent_a we_o may_v believe_v they_o as_o also_o whensoever_o our_o reason_n stick_v to_o a_o principle_n as_o true_a and_o be_v draw_v away_o by_o a_o no_o more_o forcible_a argument_n we_o ought_v to_o conclude_v it_o be_v so_o but_o because_o we_o have_v divine_a revelation_n which_o be_v of_o a_o far_o great_a force_n than_o either_o sense_n or_o reason_n though_o my_o sense_n tell_v i_o when_o i_o see_v a_o consecrate_a host_n it_o be_v bread_n i_o must_v say_v it_o be_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n although_o my_o reason_n assure_v i_o this_o principle_n be_v evident_a that_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v the_o same_o with_o a_o mean_a be_v the_o same_o with_o themselves_o i_o must_v answer_v it_o be_v not_o so_o because_o god_n have_v tell_v i_o there_o be_v a_o trinity_n which_o contradict_v it_o but_o now_o i_o conceive_v it_o be_v my_o duty_n to_o show_v that_o the_o divine_a revelation_n we_o have_v for_o transubstantiation_n be_v more_o prevalent_a than_o the_o evidence_n of_o sense_n which_o oppose_v it_o let_v we_o come_v to_o our_o infidel_n before_o i_o persuade_v he_o to_o embrace_v christianity_n we_o must_v agree_v there_o be_v one_o god_n that_o this_o god_n be_v infinite_a in_o every_o perfection_n therefore_o that_o he_o see_v truth_n which_o we_o can_v understand_v otherwise_o he_o will_v not_o be_v infinite_a in_o knowledge_n that_o he_o can_v reveal_v those_o truth_n otherwise_o his_o power_n will_v be_v limit_v that_o he_o can_v oblige_v his_o creature_n to_o believe_v they_o otherwise_o his_o authority_n will_v not_o be_v infinite_a this_o a_o heathen_a must_v grant_v because_o it_o be_v as_o evident_a as_o that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n then_o i_o will_v ask_v he_o what_o evidence_n he_o require_v to_o rest_v convince_v that_o god_n reveal_v he_o the_o mystery_n of_o transubstantiation_n he_o will_v without_o doubt_n require_v such_o a_o one_o as_o no_o man_n can_v prudent_o call_v in_o question_n such_o as_o be_v all_o moral_a evidence_n which_o add_v to_o the_o forementioned_a principle_n be_v strong_a than_o that_o of_o our_o sense_n or_o reason_n which_o we_o know_v may_v be_v deceive_v now_o that_o this_o do_v not_o bring_v in_o scepticism_n nor_o destroy_v all_o demonstration_n be_v evident_a because_o i_o be_o to_o follow_v the_o deposition_n of_o my_o sense_n the_o light_n of_o my_o reason_n where_o no_o divine_a revelation_n which_o be_v a_o more_o prevalent_a argument_n do_v oppose_v they_o so_o that_o in_o other_o case_n i_o be_o as_o sure_o i_o be_o not_o deceive_v as_o that_o i_o have_v no_o divine_a revelation_n we_o therefore_o first_o prove_v divine_a revelation_n and_o then_o the_o possibility_n of_o the_o thing_n reveal_v as_o for_o example_n whatever_o god_n reveal_v be_v true_a but_o god_n have_v reveal_v transubstantiation_n ergo_fw-la be_v true_a the_o dr._n go_v on_o otherwise_o whatever_o say_v he_o be_v not_o true_a god_n have_v not_o reveal_v but_o the_o doctrine_n of_o transubstantiation_n be_v not_o true_a ergo_fw-la god_n have_v not_o reveal_v it_o according_a to_o this_o method_n he_o must_v first_o convince_v his_o infidel_n convert_v of_o all_o the_o strange_a truth_n in_o the_o scripture_n for_o example_n that_o the_o world_n be_v create_v of_o nothing_o that_o god_n be_v one_o in_o nature_n three_o in_o person_n that_o all_o the_o sodomite_n sense_n be_v deceive_v when_o they_o take_v the_o angel_n for_o young_a man_n etc._n etc._n believe_v i_o the_o philosopher_n will_v not_o so_o easy_o assent_v to_o these_o truth_n nor_o will_v they_o ever_o anathematise_v their_o book_n upon_o the_o drs._n authority_n or_o reason_n i_o must_v desire_v those_o who_o assist_v at_o the_o drs._n pulpit_n heat_n against_o popery_n and_o transubstantiation_n to_o examine_v whether_o his_o passion_n against_o both_o be_v not_o great_a than_o his_o reason_n and_o whether_o they_o may_v in_o conscience_n tie_v their_o belief_n to_o the_o authority_n of_o a_o man_n who_o undermine_v his_o own_o religion_n so_o popery_n may_v be_v involve_v in_o the_o ruin_n but_o god_n be_v thank_v our_o church_n be_v too_o strong_a to_o waver_v at_o the_o blast_n which_o flow_v from_o his_o mouth_n and_o will_v triumph_v when_o perchance_o the_o dr._n may_v smart_v for_o have_v attempt_v its_o destruction_n london_n print_v by_o henry_n hill_n printer_n to_o the_o king_n be_v most_o excellent_a majesty_n for_o his_o household_n and_o chapel_n and_o be_v to_o be_v sell_v at_o his_o printing-house_n on_o the_o ditch-side_n in_o blackfriar_n 1687._o

a_o full_a answer_n to_o dr._n tenison_n conference_n concern_v the_o eucharist_n i_o can_v not_o but_o wonder_n whilst_o i_o peruse_v the_o drs._n conference_n why_o he_o be_v please_v to_o term_v himself_o rather_o the_o publisher_n than_o author_n of_o the_o book_n some_o assure_v i_o the_o dr._n be_v too_o wise_a to_o think_v his_o reader_n so_o foolish_a as_o not_o to_o perceive_v he_o have_v borrow_a matter_n from_o his_o brethren_n to_o swell_v his_o pamphlet_n into_o fifteen_o sheet_n and_o indeed_o i_o myself_o be_v soon_o convince_v that_o if_o any_o thing_n appear_v new_a it_o pag._n 26._o arise_v from_o a_o certain_a air_n of_o novelty_n which_o may_v be_v in_o the_o manner_n of_o propose_v it_o but_o then_o why_o the_o dr._n shall_v engage_v himself_o in_o a_o new_a conference_n see_v that_o of_o michaelmas_n prove_v so_o unsuccessful_a i_o understand_v not_o but_o a_o friend_n very_o lucky_a in_o guess_v tell_v i_o that_o the_o dr._n be_v in_o the_o last_o meeting_n too_o weak_a to_o grapple_v with_o five_o jesuit_n arm_v with_o yellow_a peruque_n and_o little_a band_n he_o be_v resolve_v to_o venture_v the_o second_o cast_v with_o n._n alone_o a_o papist_n of_o his_o own_o coin_n yet_o some_o be_v of_o opinion_n that_o the_o dr._n turn_v dialoger_n to_o show_v the_o world_n he_o can_v compliment_v a_o papist_n though_o the_o loss_n of_o his_o father_n benefice_n give_v he_o no_o heart_n to_o use_v such_o ceremony_n with_o a_o jesuit_n now_o whether_o these_o man_n have_v hit_v the_o nail_n on_o the_o head_n i_o know_v not_o so_o that_o i_o will_v appeal_v to_o the_o dr._n if_o he_o say_v no_o let_v he_o be_v assure_v i_o shall_v not_o call_v he_o to_o the_o bar._n i_o come_v to_o his_o conclusion_n and_o proof_n first_o than_o he_o affirm_v pag._n 5._o that_o transubstantiation_n absolute_o destroy_v the_o certainty_n of_o our_o sense_n which_o be_v the_o foundation_n of_o the_o strong_a proof_n of_o christianity_n after_o some_o compliment_n with_o n._n he_o come_v to_o some_o postulata_n of_o which_o some_o be_v false_a other_o doubtful_a and_o then_o proceed_v to_o three_o grand_a conclusion_n as_o he_o term_v they_o the_o first_o be_v that_o if_o pag._n 19_o transubstantiation_n be_v one_o of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christianity_n christian_a religion_n will_v be_v oppose_v with_o great_a strength_n than_o mr._n huet_n or_o any_o one_o else_o can_v bring_v forth_o to_o maintain_v it_o in_o effect_n do_v transubstantiation_n make_v a_o part_n of_o christian_a religion_n one_o may_v oppose_v against_o it_o whatever_o be_v offer_v against_o transubstantiation_n which_o be_v physical_a evidence_n whereas_o the_o evidence_n for_o christian_a religion_n be_v only_o moral_a one_o i_o confess_v poor_a n._n be_v at_o a_o nonplus_n and_o therefore_o i_o think_v myself_o oblige_v to_o help_v he_o for_o my_o part_n i_o be_o of_o opinion_n the_o drs._n argument_n even_o in_o his_o principle_n wound_n as_o deep_a christianity_n as_o in_o we_o i_o suppose_v he_o believe_v abraham_n see_v a_o angel_n and_o i_o be_o sure_a the_o dr._n must_v grant_v his_o sense_n be_v all_o deceive_v for_o have_v any_o person_n then_o present_a bid_v he_o ask_v your_o eye_n ask_v your_o nose_n ask_v your_o hand_n ask_v they_o ten_o thousand_o time_n the_o same_o question_n they_o will_v ever_o answer_v you_o what_o they_o have_v ever_o answer_v those_o who_o have_v consult_v they_o in_o this_o matter_n it_o be_v a_o man_n you_o see_v now_o i_o argue_v thus_o if_o the_o belief_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n pag._n 19_o be_v one_o of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christianity_n christian_a religion_n will_v be_v oppose_v with_o great_a strength_n than_o the_o dr._n or_o any_o one_o else_o ibid._n can_v bring_v forth_o to_o maintain_v it_o because_o do_v the_o belief_n of_o holy_a scripture_n make_v a_o part_n of_o christian_a religion_n one_o may_v oppose_v against_o it_o whatever_o be_v offer_v against_o the_o belief_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n but_o more_o can_v be_v bring_v against_o the_o belief_n of_o holy_a scripture_n than_o the_o dr._n can_v bring_v to_o maintain_v christianity_n ergo._n the_o dr._n can_v deny_v the_o major_n without_o undermine_v his_o own_o foundation_n i_o prove_v therefore_o the_o minor._n no_o insidel_n can_v give_v assent_n to_o the_o scripture_n without_o believe_v all_o abraham_n sense_n be_v deceive_v this_o he_o can_v do_v unless_o he_o believe_v his_o own_o may_v be_v mistake_v this_o in_o the_o drs._n language_n be_v impossible_a for_o the_o argument_n the_o dr._n can_v propose_v to_o a_o insidel_n to_o convince_v he_o of_o the_o truth_n of_o christianity_n pag._n 19_o be_v only_o ground_v on_o a_o moral_a evidence_n which_o be_v never_o half_a so_o great_a as_o that_o of_o sense_n the_o evidence_n which_o assure_v a_o insidel_n abraham_n sense_n and_o by_o consequence_n his_o own_o can_v not_o be_v deceive_v be_v ground_v on_o sense_n and_o he_o be_v pag._n 17._o more_o assure_v of_o what_o he_o do_v not_o know_v but_o by_o the_o revelation_n of_o his_o sense_n than_o of_o that_o which_o have_v the_o high_a degree_n of_o moral_a evidence_n pag._n 19_o therefore_o if_o two_o be_v more_o than_o one_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o grant_v the_o belief_n of_o scripture_n to_o be_v one_o of_o the_o christian_a doctrine_n christianity_n be_v attack_v with_o great_a strength_n than_o the_o dr._n can_v defend_v it_o with_o hence_o it_o be_v clear_v the_o dart_n shoot_v at_o papist_n have_v rebound_v on_o st._n martin_n church_n and_o hit_v the_o minister_n if_o he_o please_v to_o answer_v my_o reply_n he_o will_v see_v his_o first_o objection_n fall_v to_o the_o ground_n as_o well_o as_o his_o other_o two_o which_o therefore_o i_o shall_v not_o mention_v the_o subject_a of_o the_o second_o conference_n be_v that_o pa._n 27._o transubstantiation_n discredit_v the_o testimony_n of_o our_o sense_n do_v absolute_o overthrow_v the_o principal_a reason_n which_o confirm_v the_o truth_n of_o christian_a religion_n the_o proposition_n he_o prove_v thus_o pa._n 29._o 1._o if_o transubstantiation_n take_v place_n our_o sense_n be_v deceive_v in_o take_v for_o bread_n and_o wine_n what_o be_v not_o so_o 2._o if_o our_o sense_n may_v be_v mistake_v in_o the_o eucharist_n they_o may_v be_v as_o well_o mistake_v in_o any_o thing_n else_o 3._o if_o our_o sense_n may_v be_v mistake_v in_o the_o discovery_n of_o their_o object_n be_v they_o what_o they_o will_v the_o proof_n of_o christian_a religion_n be_v of_o no_o value_n i_o answer_v as_o before_o if_o the_o deceptio_fw-la visus_fw-la of_o abraham_n take_v place_n his_o sense_n be_v deceive_v in_o take_v for_o a_o man_n him_z who_o be_v not_o so_o if_o his_o sense_n may_v be_v mistake_v in_o the_o angel_n they_o may_v be_v as_o well_o mistake_v in_o every_o thing_n else_o if_o his_o sense_n may_v be_v mistake_v in_o the_o discovery_n of_o their_o object_n be_v they_o what_o they_o will_v the_o proof_n of_o christianity_n be_v of_o no_o value_n because_o as_o i_o tell_v you_o before_o a_o infidel_n in_o the_o drs._n principle_n can_v believe_v abraham_n sense_n be_v deceive_v without_o grant_v his_o own_o may_v be_v mistake_v the_o drs._n argument_n then_o prove_v too_o much_o and_o therefore_o according_a to_o good_a philosophy_n nothing_o the_o three_o conference_n be_v but_o a_o repetition_n of_o the_o former_a i_o pass_v it_o by_o but_o because_o the_o second_o proposition_n be_v the_o chief_a ground_n of_o the_o four_o and_o five_o conference_n and_o indeed_o of_o all_o the_o book_n in_o which_o the_o dr._n pretend_v to_o prove_v that_o transubstantiation_n pa._n 60._o open_v a_o gate_n to_o scepticism_n in_o its_o full_a
