this_o free_a concession_n for_o these_o be_v the_o ground_n protestant_n do_v believe_v upon_o but_o yet_o he_o will_v needs_o have_v it_o that_o they_o believe_v upon_o better_a ground_n than_o the_o protestant_n this_o i_o be_o apt_a to_o think_v he_o will_v no_o more_o be_v able_a to_o prove_v than_o that_o they_o reverence_n the_o scripture_n more_o than_o protestant_n however_o this_o he_o attempt_n and_o give_v this_o reason_n for_o that_o protestant_n let_v natural_a object_n ever_o about_o mystery_n of_o their_o faith_n have_v the_o direction_n of_o their_o sense_n in_o which_o they_o be_v so_o often_o deceive_v rather_o than_o the_o word_n of_o god_n which_o can_v deceive_v they_o but_o where_o have_v the_o word_n of_o god_n teach_v we_o that_o we_o be_v not_o to_o judge_n of_o natural_a object_n by_o those_o sense_n which_o he_o have_v give_v we_o to_o judge_n of_o natural_a object_n by_o will_v he_o undertake_v to_o prou●_n this_o also_o when_o he_o himself_o acknowledge_v that_o to_o frame_v a_o judgement_n of_o the_o nature_n or_o substance_n of_o a_o thing_n we_o must_v depend_v upon_o the_o information_n of_o sense_n and_o that_o the_o common_a and_o natural_a way_n be_v to_o judge_v according_a to_o the_o relation_n the_o sense_n give_v from_o the_o external_a and_o natural_a accident_n of_o the_o thing_n and_o now_o be_v not_o a_o wafer_n a_o sensible_a object_n and_o be_v we_o not_o to_o judge_n of_o it_o according_a to_o the_o relation_n the_o sense_n give_v of_o it_o and_o from_o its_o external_a and_o natural_a accident_n how_o will_v our_o author_n salve_v this_o difficulty_n that_o he_o proceed_v in_o after_o this_o manner_n but_o if_o we_o desire_v to_o frame_v a_o true_a judgement_n as_o if_o the_o other_o be_v a_o false_a one_o of_o what_o be_v the_o nature_n and_o substance_n of_o such_o a_o object_n not_o according_a to_o a_o natural_a be_v but_o according_a to_o the_o divine_a power_n and_o what_o it_o may_v have_v of_o supernatural_a the_o sense_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v lay_v aside_o but_o we_o must_v consider_v here_o too_o the_o information_n these_o give_v not_o now_o from_o the_o natural_a accident_n but_o from_o the_o word_n of_o god._n i_o shall_v have_v think_v the_o conclusion_n to_o be_v infer_v from_o hence_o will_v rather_o be_v the_o sense_n ought_v to_o be_v lay_v aside_o forasmuch_o as_o we_o be_v not_o in_o such_o case_n to_o judge_n of_o the_o natural_a accident_n according_a to_o what_o they_o report_v for_o i_o must_v confess_v he_o be_v one_o of_o the_o first_o i_o have_v meet_v with_o that_o have_v improve_v the_o argument_n this_o way_n and_o that_o appeal_v to_o the_o sense_n for_o the_o proof_n of_o transubstantiation_n which_o their_o church_n so_o cautious_o warn_v they_o against_o in_o this_o matter_n but_o he_o will_v illustrate_v this_o by_o a_o instance_n in_o another_o matter_n a_o friend_n say_v he_o send_v i_o a_o transparent_a stone_n of_o which_o when_o i_o will_v make_v a_o judgement_n i_o can_v do_v it_o without_o the_o information_n of_o my_o sense_n these_o may_v inform_v i_o two_o way_n either_o by_o look_v upon_o the_o thing_n itself_o or_o by_o read_v the_o letter_n send_v along_o with_o it_o or_o the_o report_n of_o the_o bearer_n if_o i_o take_v the_o information_n of_o my_o sense_n from_o the_o view_n of_o the_o stone_n i_o judge_v it_o to_o be_v a_o pebble_n if_o from_o the_o letter_n write_v by_o a_o excellent_a artist_n and_o the_o bearer_n a_o skilful_a jeweller_n i_o judge_v it_o to_o be_v a_o true_a diamond_n upon_o their_o authority_n and_o great_a skill_n now_o in_o which_o judgement_n of_o these_o aught_o i_o to_o acquiesce_v certain_o in_o this_o last_o and_o yet_o in_o so_o do_v i_o hope_v i_o shall_v not_o renounce_v all_o my_o five_o sense_n at_o once_o so_o since_o my_o sense_n assure_v i_o from_o scripture_n and_o the_o pastor_n of_o god_n church_n that_o the_o sacrament_n be_v christ_n body_n i_o be_o bind_v in_o reason_n to_o judge_n of_o it_o so_o rather_o than_o from_o the_o natural_a accident_n to_o judge_v it_o to_o be_v bread_n so_o that_o in_o thus_o believe_v this_o mystery_n we_o do_v not_o renounce_v but_o follow_v our_o sense_n but_o his_o instance_n reach_v not_o the_o case_n 1._o because_o the_o judge_a whether_o a_o transparent_a stone_n be_v a_o counterfeit_n or_o a_o diamond_n be_v not_o a_o matter_n of_o mere_a sense_n but_o judgement_n skill_n and_o experience_n and_o belong_v to_o a_o artist_n but_o sense_n will_v teach_v every_o one_o whether_o it_o be_v a_o stone_n or_o a_o pea_n hard_a or_o soft_a transparent_a or_o opacous_a but_o now_o the_o case_n before_o we_o be_v whether_o what_o we_o see_v be_v a_o bit_n of_o bread_n or_o the_o body_n of_o a_o man_n whether_o it_o be_v break_v or_o whole_a etc._n etc._n and_o therefore_o to_o put_v the_o case_n right_a and_o make_v it_o parallel_v he_o must_v suppose_v the_o stone_n to_o be_v a_o know_a diamond_n as_o know_v to_o he_o it_o be_v send_v to_o as_o to_o

itself_o but_o do_v he_o say_v that_o they_o picture_n what_o they_o themselves_o believe_v to_o be_v the_o picture_n of_o the_o divinity_n no_o sure_o than_o he_o have_v contradict_v the_o council_n and_o make_v they_o downright_a anthropomorphites_n but_o he_o lay_v it_o to_o their_o charge_n that_o they_o picture_n and_o make_v representation_n of_o the_o divinity_n and_o trinity_n itself_o as_o well_o as_o of_o saint_n that_o be_v not_o spare_v even_o the_o divinity_n o_o but_o say_v the_o council_n these_o be_v only_a history_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n but_o be_v there_o any_o history_n of_o scripture_n that_o tell_v we_o god_n do_v so_o appear_v in_o any_o form_n otherwise_o than_o in_o a_o prophetical_a scheme_n and_o be_v not_o even_o that_o forbid_a when_o a_o image_n of_o god_n be_v forbid_v because_o god_n can_v be_v describe_v in_o any_o way_n but_o by_o what_o he_o be_v not_o and_o so_o be_v a_o reason_n against_o image_n in_o all_o as_o well_o as_o any_o one_o

and_o common-prayer_n book_n they_o belong_v no_o more_o to_o our_o church_n than_o the_o temple_n of_o pallas_n to_o the_o roman_a church_n though_o existent_a in_o it_o if_o indeed_o they_o be_v

you_o see_v the_o bread_n and_o wine_n be_v worship_v by_o they_o not_o as_o representation_n of_o god_n which_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n be_v but_o as_o god_n himself_o the_o preacher_n show_v the_o grossness_n of_o their_o practice_n that_o what_o be_v indeed_o but_o bread_n and_o wine_n in_o their_o substance_n and_o a_o representation_n of_o our_o saviour_n they_o worship_v as_o god_n himself_o the_o former_a be_v what_o the_o thing_n be_v in_o itself_o the_o latter_a he_o charge_v upon_o they_o as_o their_o practice_n and_o therefore_o the_o sayer_n first_o mistake_v the_o case_n
