protestant_n and_o particular_o the_o author_n will_v have_v they_o to_o be_v must_v need_v be_v allow_v to_o be_v obscure_a and_o difficult_a because_o they_o differ_v so_o much_o among_o themselves_o as_o well_o as_o from_o the_o catholic_a church_n about_o the_o meaning_n of_o they_o and_o yet_o none_o of_o the_o evangelist_n nor_o st._n paul_n although_o although_o vary_v in_o

church_n have_v great_a reason_n to_o understand_v they_o proper_o 2._o because_o now_o just_a upon_o our_o lord_n passion_n it_o be_v the_o time_n for_o figure_n and_o shadow_n to_o vanish_v and_o for_o truth_n and_o reality_n to_o appear_v and_o our_o lord_n be_v institute_v the_o great_a sacrament_n of_o christian_a religion_n he_o can_v not_o therefore_o speak_v with_o too_o much_o force_n and_o efficacy_n especial_o since_o he_o now_o speak_v to_o his_o apostle_n in_o private_a to_o who_o he_o be_v use_v at_o such_o time_n to_o speak_v very_o plain_o 3._o because_o christ_n be_v make_v his_o last_o will_n and_o testament_n which_o be_v to_o be_v express_v in_o such_o plain_a and_o distinct_a term_n that_o there_o may_v be_v no_o just_a reason_n for_o his_o child_n to_o contend_v about_o their_o legacy_n and_o can_v we_o be_v so_o unworthy_a as_o to_o imagine_v that_o in_o this_o his_o last_o and_o kind_a bequest_n he_o leave_v we_o no_o more_o but_o a_o morsel_n of_o common_a dry_a bread_n to_o eat_v and_o a_o little_a ordinary_a wine_n and_o water_n to_o drink_v in_o remembrance_n of_o he_o whereas_o a_o kind_n and_o good_a nature_a man_n will_v leave_v his_o most_o precious_a jewel_n to_o his_o dear_a friend_n to_o remember_v he_o by_o when_o he_o depart_v from_o he_o to_o take_v a_o long_a journey_n and_o to_o make_v any_o considerable_a stay_n a_o good_a

concern_v the_o sacrament_n of_o union_n point_n the_o lord_n supper_n which_o be_v the_o chief_a of_o those_o several_a positive_a institution_n of_o religion_n which_o christ_n have_v ordain_v in_o his_o church_n there_o be_v many_o great_a difference_n even_o between_o protestant_n themselves_o it_o be_v no_o wonder_n therefore_o if_o there_o be_v as_o many_o between_o protestant_n and_o catholic_n of_o these_o the_o author_n give_v two_o instance_n the_o one_o about_o the_o doctrine_n of_o transubstantiation_n the_o other_o about_o the_o administration_n of_o this_o sacrament_n to_o the_o people_n in_o both_o kind_n as_o for_o that_o of_o transubstantiation_n he_o will_v have_v do_v well_o to_o have_v tell_v we_o in_o what_o supposition_n he_o mean_v to_o take_v the_o word_n in_o

signify_v that_o presence_n not_o with_o the_o bread_n but_o by_o its_o be_v change_v into_o his_o body_n this_o be_v a_o difference_n indeed_o and_o the_o only_a proper_a one_o in_o this_o supposition_n between_o he_o and_o catholic_n in_o this_o matter_n but_o then_o if_o he_o will_v have_v proceed_v sincere_o and_o as_o one_o that_o be_v real_o master_n of_o so_o much_o sense_n as_o he_o talk_v of_o in_o this_o treatise_n he_o shall_v have_v hold_v to_o his_o point_n and_o not_o impugn_a what_o he_o suppose_v but_o if_o he_o suppose_v no_o such_o real_a or_o substantial_a presence_n of_o christ_n body_n and_o under_o the_o name_n of_o transubstantiation_n fight_v express_o against_o the_o real_a presence_n through_o his_o whole_a discourse_n as_o it_o be_v evident_a he_o do_v and_o therefore_o aught_o to_o have_v call_v it_o a_o discourse_n against_o the_o real_a presence_n and_o its_o consequence_n transubstantiation_n and_o not_o a_o discourse_n only_o against_o transubstantiation_n then_o the_o difference_n be_v not_o only_o as_o he_o will_v make_v it_o with_o the_o catholic_n but_o with_o the_o lutheran_n also_o and_o those_o of_o his_o own_o

no_o less_o true_o than_o catholic_o do_v but_o however_o he_o compose_v this_o difference_n with_o they_o yet_o the_o catholic_n as_o for_o their_o tenent_n do_v not_o think_v only_o as_o he_o say_v

on_o their_o side_n and_o for_o the_o other_o point_n viz._n the_o administration_n of_o the_o sacrament_n in_o both_o kind_n they_o be_v sure_a that_o neither_o he_o nor_o any_o of_o his_o party_n

to_o take_v these_o word_n in_o the_o proper_a sense_n than_o we_o be_v not_o to_o doubt_v of_o the_o truth_n of_o they_o as_o so_o take_v that_o we_o may_v the_o better_o apply_v these_o principle_n protestant_n and_o the_o ensue_a discourse_n to_o the_o case_n in_o hand_n i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o state_n it_o as_o precise_o as_o may_v be_v and_o draw_v it_o into_o as_o narrow_a a_o compass_n as_o i_o can_v christ_n in_o the_o institution_n of_o the_o bless_a sacrament_n say_v this_o be_v my_o body_n which_o word_n those_o of_o the_o english_a church_n that_o do_v not_o believe_v the_o
