where_o will_v the_o romanist_n find_v that_o assure_a infallibility_n which_o they_o pretend_v to_o as_o for_o the_o second_o proof_n from_o the_o strength_n of_o reason_n we_o admit_v christ_n

we_o to_o lay_v hold_n of_o they_o and_o improve_v they_o to_o our_o own_o good_a for_o this_o depend_v upon_o our_o own_o free_a election_n therefore_o when_o we_o transgress_v against_o god_n

here_o it_o may_v be_v allege_v that_o the_o drift_n of_o all_o these_o proof_n be_v no_o other_o than_o to_o make_v it_o appear_v that_o the_o whole_a business_n of_o transubstantiation_n be_v supernatural_a and_o miraculous_a which_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n free_o acknowledge_v and_o be_v induce_v to_o this_o belief_n by_o the_o authority_n of_o christ_n himself_o who_o hold_v bread_n

we_o all_o know_v that_o the_o substance_n of_o bread_n can_v by_o natural_a mean_n be_v convert_v into_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n but_o by_o the_o illimited_a power_n of_o god_n it_o may_v be_v

may_v be_v believe_v yet_o not_o slight_o and_o without_o sufficient_a reason_n but_o if_o by_o a_o urgent_a and_o indispensable_a necessity_n or_o a_o irrefragable_a authority_n which_o bring_v

this_o assertion_n it_o appear_v that_o from_o this_o doctrine_n of_o transubstantiation_n it_o unavoidable_o follow_v that_o all_o natural_a cause_n both_o can_v and_o do_v actual_o create_v and_o

be_v no_o necessity_n neither_o from_o scripture_n nor_o reason_n nor_o from_o any_o other_o revelation_n to_o admit_v transubstantiation_n the_o great_a necessity_n that_o have_v be_v hitherto_o allege_v be_v draw_v from_o those_o word_n of_o christ_n hoc_fw-la est_fw-la corpus_fw-la meum_fw-la but_o from_o hence_o no_o necessity_n can_v be_v derive_v for_o they_o that_o hold_v consubstantiation_n and_o assert_v that_o christ_n body_n exist_v in_o the_o sacrament_n together_o with_o the_o substance_n of_o bread_n these_o i_o say_v as_o rigorous_o stand_v to_o the_o literal_a

in_o reality_n there_o be_v no_o more_o necessity_n of_o understand_v those_o word_n of_o christ_n in_o a_o literal_a sense_n then_o when_o he_o say_v i_o be_o a_o door_n i_o be_o a_o vine_n etc._n etc._n for_o since_o the_o scripture_n be_v capable_a of_o so_o many_o sense_n and_o interpretation_n there_o be_v no_o reason_n nor_o necessity_n of_o wrest_v it_o to_o that_o sense_n alone_o which_o

and_o since_o it_o be_v usual_a with_o our_o great_a redeemer_n to_o speak_v by_o allegory_n parable_n by_o trope_n and_o figure_n it_o be_v most_o likely_a he_o speak_v so_o here_o which_o be_v

can_v be_v capable_a to_o administer_v such_o a_o assure_a belief_n of_o transubstantiation_n which_o notwithstanding_o it_o do_v not_o in_o the_o least_o signify_v it_o ensue_v therefore_o that_o as_o the_o rabbi_n in_o those_o time_n do_v usual_o speak_v in_o parable_n trope_n and_o figure_n etc._n etc._n so_o our_o great_a master_n who_o in_o most_o thing_n accommodate_v himself_o to_o the_o

the_o bread_n be_v a_o fit_a emblem_n of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n and_o equivalent_o the_o same_o because_o it_o be_v by_o christ_n himself_o elevate_v to_o be_v a_o sacrament_n and_o as_o bread_n

this_o reason_n it_o be_v fit_o institute_v in_o this_o sacrament_n as_o a_o commemoration_n of_o christ_n passion_n and_o therefore_o our_o lord_n himself_o tell_v we_o v._o 63._o that_o it_o be_v
