A12703 The high vvay to Heaven by the cleare light of the Gospell cleansed of a number of most dangerous stumbling stones thereinto throwen by Bellarmine and others In a treatise made vpon the 37. 38. and 39. verses of the 7. of Iohn: wherein is so handled the most sweete and comfortable doctrine of the true vnion and communication of Christ and his Church, and the contrarie is so confuted, as that not onely thereby also summarilie and briefly, and yet plainly all men may learne rightly to receiue the sacrament of Christs blessed bodie and blood, but also how to beleeue and to liue to saluation. And therefore entitled The highway to Heauen. By Thomas Sparke Doctor of Diuinitie. Sparke, Thomas, 1548-1616. 1597 (1597) STC 23021; ESTC S102434 161,682 384

before_o any_o of_o these_o can_v fall_v out_o unto_o it_o yet_o than_o they_o grant_v that_o the_o best_a shift_n that_o their_o popish_a christ_n have_v in_o this_o case_n be_v to_o run_v away_o or_o to_o give_v place_n such_o a_o christ_n may_v become_v such_o kind_n of_o christian_n but_o sure_o the_o wise_a heart_a christian_n will_v be_v loath_a to_o trust_v to_o such_o a_o christ_n for_o

of_o they_o and_o that_o therefore_o when_o any_o such_o thing_n seem_v to_o fall_v out_o otherwise_o either_o the_o priest_n consecrate_v not_o well_o and_o so_o fail_v and_o come_v short_a of_o

in_o trasubstantiate_v he_o again_o into_o the_o old_a bread_n and_o wine_n and_o i_o will_v be_v glad_a once_o to_o here_o a_o substantial_a reason_n why_o christ_n word_n shall_v not_o or_o do_v not_o prove_v as_o powerful_a to_o drive_v the_o accident_n away_o as_o the_o substance_n or_o why_o they_o believe_v notwithstanding_o christ_n plain_a word_n that_o accident_n of_o bread_n and_o
