to_o help_v they_o out_o when_o sense_n and_o reason_n fail_v they_o and_o therefore_o cajetan_n well_o say_v we_o ought_v not_o to_o dispute_v 3._o about_o god_n absolute_a power_n in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o sacrament_n be_v thing_n of_o such_o constant_a use_n and_o that_o it_o be_v a_o foolish_a thing_n to_o attribute_v to_o the_o sacrament_n all_o that_o god_n can_v do_v but_o we_o must_v consider_v what_o he_o say_v against_o sense_n and_o reason_n for_o the_o believe_v this_o mystery_n he_o do_v not_o at_o all_o think_v it_o meet_v for_o any_o christian_n to_o appeal_v from_o christ_n word_n to_o his_o own_o sense_n or_o reason_n for_o the_o examine_v the_o truth_n of_o what_o he_o have_v say_v but_o rather_o to_o submit_v his_o sense_n and_o reason_n to_o christ_n word_n in_o the_o obsequiousness_n of_o faith_n what!_o whether_o we_o know_v this_o to_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o christ_n word_n or_o not_o and_o thus_o we_o shall_v be_v bind_v to_o submit_v to_o every_o absurd_a interpretation_n of_o scripture_n because_o we_o must_v not_o use_v our_o sense_n or_o reason_n for_o examine_v the_o truth_n of_o what_o be_v say_v there_o can_v any_o thing_n be_v plain_o say_v in_o scripture_n than_o that_o god_n have_v eye_n and_o ear_n and_o hand_n must_v now_o every_o man_n yield_v to_o this_o in_o the_o obsequiousness_n of_o faith_n without_o examine_v it_o by_o principle_n of_o common_a reason_n and_o we_o think_v we_o be_v therefore_o bind_v to_o put_v another_o sense_n upon_o those_o expression_n because_o they_o imply_v a_o repugnancy_n to_o the_o divine_a perfection_n why_o not_o then_o where_o something_o be_v imply_v which_o be_v repugnant_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o christ_n body_n as_o well_o as_o to_o our_o sense_n but_o the_o question_n about_o judge_v in_o this_o matter_n by_o our_o sense_n be_v not_o as_o our_o author_n be_v willing_a to_o suppose_v viz._n whether_o our_o sense_n be_v to_o be_v believe_v against_o a_o clear_a and_o express_v divine_a revelation_n but_o whether_o the_o judgement_n of_o our_o sense_n and_o reason_n be_v not_o to_o be_v make_v use_n of_o for_o find_v out_o the_o true_a sense_n of_o this_o revelation_n and_o we_o think_v there_o be_v great_a reason_n for_o it_o 1._o because_o we_o have_v no_o more_o certain_a way_n of_o judge_v the_o substance_n of_o a_o body_n than_o by_o our_o sense_n we_o do_v not_o say_v our_o sense_n go_v beyond_o the_o accident_n but_o we_o say_v our_o sense_n by_o those_o accident_n do_v assure_v we_o of_o the_o bodily_a substance_n or_o else_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o we_o to_o know_v there_o be_v any_o such_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n 2._o because_o christ_n do_v himself_o appeal_v to_o the_o judgement_n of_o his_o disciple_n sense_n concern_v the_o truth_n of_o his_o own_o body_n after_o the_o resurrection_n behold_v 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 39_o spirit_n have_v not_o flesh_n and_o bone_n as_o you_o see_v i_o have_v now_o we_o think_v we_o have_v reason_n to_o allow_v the_o same_o criterion_n which_o christ_n himself_o do_v about_o the_o very_a same_o body_n unless_o he_o have_v then_o tell_v his_o disciple_n that_o there_o be_v to_o be_v another_o supernatural_a manner_n of_o existence_n of_o the_o same_o body_n concern_v which_o their_o sense_n be_v not_o to_o be_v judge_n 3._o some_o of_o the_o most_o important_a article_n of_o the_o christian_a faith_n do_v suppose_v the_o judgement_n of_o our_o sense_n to_o be_v true_a as_o about_o the_o truth_n of_o christ_n body_n whether_o he_o have_v real_o a_o body_n or_o only_o the_o outward_a accident_n and_o appearance_n of_o a_o body_n if_o he_o have_v not_o he_o do_v not_o real_o suffer_v upon_o the_o cross_n and_o so_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o propitiation_n there_o offer_v up_o to_o the_o father_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o mankind_n be_v lose_v there_o be_v a_o great_a controversy_n in_o st._n john_n time_n and_o afterward_o whether_o christ_n have_v any_o real_a body_n those_o who_o deny_v it_o bring_v revelation_n for_o it_o those_o who_o assert_v it_o prove_v it_o by_o their_o sense_n as_o s._n john_n himself_o that_o which_o we_o have_v see_v and_o hear_v and_o our_o hand_n have_v handle_v etc._n etc._n 3._o he_o do_v not_o tell_v man_n they_o must_v submit_v their_o sense_n and_o reason_n to_o the_o pretence_n of_o revelation_n but_o they_o ought_v to_o adhere_v to_o the_o judgement_n of_o their_o sense_n concern_v the_o reality_n of_o christ_n body_n since_o therefore_o christ_n himself_o appeal_v to_o it_o the_o apostle_n make_v use_v of_o it_o without_o any_o caution_n or_o limitation_n we_o have_v great_a reason_n to_o rely_v still_o on_o the_o

sense_n and_o reason_n in_o this_o point_n 1._o he_o believe_v christ_n to_o be_v god_n though_o to_o sense_n he_o seem_v nothing_o but_o man._n do_v we_o ever_o pretend_v to_o judge_n of_o christ_n divinity_n by_o our_o sense_n how_o then_o can_v this_o be_v pertinent_a when_o our_o only_a dispute_n be_v about_o judge_v his_o body_n and_o the_o substance_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n by_o they_o and_o yet_o the_o sense_n be_v of_o great_a use_n as_o to_o the_o proof_n of_o his_o divinity_n by_o the_o miracle_n which_o he_o wrought_v which_o if_o they_o have_v be_v like_o the_o pretend_a miracle_n in_o transubstantiation_n can_v have_v convince_v no_o man_n because_o they_o can_v never_o see_v they_o 2._o he_o believe_v the_o holy_a ghost_n descend_v on_o our_o saviour_n though_o sense_n or_o reason_n can_v discover_v it_o to_o be_v nothing_o but_o a_o dove_n if_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n to_o judge_n otherwise_o the_o judgement_n of_o sense_n be_v to_o be_v follow_v but_o since_o the_o scripture_n declare_v it_o be_v the_o holy_a ghost_n descend_v as_o a_o dove_n we_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o question_v that_o revelation_n for_o we_o do_v not_o pretend_v that_o our_o sense_n be_v so_o far_o judge_n of_o divine_a appearance_n as_o to_o exclude_v the_o possibility_n of_o god_n assume_v the_o shape_n and_o figure_n of_o his_o creature_n when_o he_o please_v by_o mould_v the_o substance_n of_o a_o real_a body_n into_o such_o a_o representation_n thus_o we_o do_v not_o deny_v the_o possibility_n of_o a_o appearance_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n under_o bread_n and_o wine_n if_o god_n think_v fit_a any_o more_o than_o under_o a_o dove_n and_o in_o this_o case_n we_o do_v not_o pretend_v that_o our_o sense_n can_v exclude_v the_o presence_n of_o a_o spirit_n under_o the_o element_n but_o that_o be_v very_o different_a from_o the_o present_a case_n for_o here_o the_o substance_n be_v suppose_v to_o be_v go_v and_o nothing_o but_o accident_n remain_v and_o no_o spiritual_a presence_n of_o christ_n be_v deny_v but_o that_o of_o his_o body_n the_o very_a same_o body_n which_o suffer_v on_o the_o cross._n 3._o he_o believe_v the_o man_n who_o appear_v to_o joshua_n ch_z 5._o 13._o and_o the_o three_o man_n to_o abraham_n gen._n 18._o be_v real_o and_o substantial_o no_o man_n notwithstanding_o all_o the_o information_n and_o evidence_n of_o sense_n to_o the_o contrary_a from_o their_o colour_n feature_n proportion_n talk_v eat_v and_o many_o other_o and_o what_o follow_v from_o hence_o but_o that_o spiritual_a invisible_a substance_n may_v be_v under_o the_o appearance_n of_o body_n and_o that_o our_o sense_n can_v be_v judge_n of_o they_o which_o be_v not_o our_o question_n but_o whether_o body_n can_v be_v so_o present_a after_o the_o manner_n of_o spirit_n as_o to_o lose_v all_o the_o natural_a property_n of_o body_n and_o whether_o a_o material_a substance_n can_v be_v lose_v under_o all_o the_o accident_n proper_a to_o it_o so_o as_o our_o sense_n can_v be_v proper_a judge_n of_o one_o by_o the_o other_o but_o our_o author_n seem_v to_o grant_v this_o in_o a_o natural_a way_n of_o the_o existence_n of_o a_o body_n but_o he_o say_v christ_n give_v to_o his_o body_n a_o supernatural_a manner_n of_o existence_n by_o which_o be_v leave_v without_o extension_n of_o part_n and_o render_v independent_a of_o place_n it_o may_v

of_o it_o he_o must_v declare_v that_o he_o hold_v the_o same_o faith_n which_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n hold_v and_o this_o be_v as_o much_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o roman_a church_n as_o the_o

therefore_o we_o can_v be_v think_v to_o misrepresent_v they_o if_o we_o charge_v they_o with_o such_o thing_n as_o be_v own_v either_o by_o the_o general_a and_o allow_v practice_n of_o their_o
