A58130	A dialogue betwixt two Protestants in answer to a popish catechism called A short catechism against all sectaries : plainly shewing that the members of the Church of England are no sectaries but true Catholicks and that our Church is a found part of Christ's holy Catholick Church in whose communion therefore the people of this nation are most strictly bound in conscience to remain : in two parts.	Rawlet, John, 1642-1686.	1685 (1685)	Wing R352; ESTC R11422	171,932	286

it_o be_v almost_o endless_a to_o name_v they_o yet_o the_o more_o to_o confirm_v you_o against_o it_o if_o need_v be_v let_v i_o mention_v a_o few_o of_o those_o many_o as_o for_o instance_n according_a to_o this_o opinion_n our_o saviour_n body_n will_v be_v in_o ten_o thousand_o place_n at_o one_o viz._n where_o ever_o the_o consecrate_a host_n as_o they_o call_v it_o be_v at_o rome_n

it_o remain_v whole_a and_o untouched_a the_o very_a same_o that_o it_o be_v from_o the_o beginning_n neither_o multiply_v nor_o divide_v neither_o increase_v nor_o diminish_v again_o by_o this_o doctrine_n every_o wafer_n and_o every_o part_n of_o the_o wafer_n be_v the_o whole_a body_n and_o a_o thousand_o wafer_n be_v only_o that_o one_o yea_o what_o be_v more_o prodigious_a if_o any_o thing_n can_v be_v so_o according_a to_o this_o opinion_n our_o bless_a saviour_n when_o he_o be_v present_a with_o his_o apostle_n alive_a and_o well_o do_v then_o give_v himself_o into_o their_o

to_o justify_v the_o gross_a falsehood_n and_o absurdity_n in_o the_o world_n though_o true_o i_o think_v none_o can_v be_v imagine_v great_a than_o what_o this_o opinion_n stand_v just_o charge_v with_o that_o so_o mighty_a a_o change_n shall_v be_v make_v in_o the_o very_a natural_a substance_n of_o the_o bread_n and_o yet_o that_o there_o be_v no_o manner_n of_o appearance_n of_o it_o but_o still_o here_o be_v the_o same_o colour_n taste_n smell_v and_o all_o other_o accident_n or_o quality_n of_o bread_n after_o consecration_n as_o before_o and_o notwithstanding_o all_o this_o we_o must_v believe_v that_o there_o be_v no_o substance_n of_o bread_n to_o which_o these_o accident_n belong_v but_o the_o substance_n of_o flesh_n without_o any_o accident_n at_o all_o what_o strange_a

shall_v be_v propose_v as_o a_o article_n of_o faith_n and_o be_v make_v of_o equal_a necessity_n to_o be_v believe_v with_o the_o great_a doctrine_n of_o the_o trinity_n and_o incarnation_n though_o it_o have_v no_o manner_n of_o support_n from_o the_o holy_a scripture_n as_o i_o have_v before_o show_v l._n i_o confess_v if_o a_o man_n think_v he_o can_v not_o be_v a_o christian_n without_o receive_v this_o opinion_n it_o will_v be_v a_o strong_a temptation_n to_o infidelity_n and_o go_v nigh_o to_o make_v he_o reject_v our_o whole_a religion_n t._n doubtless_o it_o will_v and_o i_o fear_v it_o have_v often_o produce_v this_o effect_n woe_n be_v to_o they_o by_o who_o the_o offence_n come_v yea_o further_o it_o will_v appear_v that_o on_o some_o other_o account_n this_o doctrine_n direct_o tend_v to_o promote_v infidelity_n whilst_o as_o many_o learned_a writer_n have_v observe_v it_o do_v in_o a_o great_a measure_n evacuate_v and_o overthrow_v the_o main_a proof_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o christianity_n for_o one_o great_a argument_n our_o saviour_n make_v use_v of_o be_v the_o miracle_n which_o he_o wrought_v the_o work_n which_o i_o do_v say_v he_o bear_v witness_n of_o i_o if_o you_o believe_v not_o i_o believe_v i_o for_o the_o work_v sake_n now_o to_o make_v this_o argument_n of_o any_o force_n it_o must_v be_v suppose_v that_o their_o sense_n do_v not_o deceive_v they_o but_o what_o they_o see_v and_o hear_v be_v real_o true_a for_o if_o our_o sense_n be_v not_o to_o be_v rely_v on_o in_o judge_v of_o their_o own_o proper_a object_n at_o a_o due_a distance_n how_o can_v the_o people_n tell_v but_o that_o all_o these_o miracle_n be_v mere_a cheat_n and_o delusion_n but_o if_o they_o have_v sufficient_a assurance_n that_o they_o be_v true_o wrought_v because_o they_o see_v they_o with_o their_o own_o eye_n and_o thereupon_o have_v sufficient_a ground_n to_o believe_v that_o religion_n to_o be_v true_a which_o be_v confirm_v by_o they_o then_o have_v we_o as_o good_a reason_n to_o believe_v transubstantiation_n to_o be_v most_o false_a since_o our_o sense_n do_v as_o full_o assure_v we_o that_o it_o be_v so_o and_o hence_o we_o be_v very_o certain_a that_o this_o can_v be_v none_o of_o the_o doctrine_n which_o our_o saviour_n teach_v because_o there_o will_v have_v be_v a_o direct_a contradiction_n betwixt_o the_o doctrine_n itself_o and_o the_o argument_n make_v use_v of_o to_o prove_v it_o for_o whilst_o he_o appeal_v to_o his_o miracle_n he_o suppose_v that_o man_n may_v trust_v their_o sense_n in_o the_o discern_a of_o proper_a object_n whereas_o according_a to_o this_o doctrine_n no_o trust_n be_v to_o be_v give_v to_o they_o moreover_o we_o know_v that_o our_o saviour_n resurrection_n be_v the_o great_a confirmation_n of_o his_o doctrine_n and_o do_v demonstrate_v he_o to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n the_o promise_a messiah_n now_o how_o shall_v it_o be_v know_v that_o the_o same_o jesus_n who_o be_v crucify_a be_v indeed_o rise_v from_o the_o dead_a but_o by_o their_o sight_n of_o he_o and_o converse_v with_o he_o thus_o we_o read_v what_o full_a satisfaction_n it_o please_v our_o saviour_n to_o give_v to_o st._n thomas_n in_o this_o respect_n permit_v he_o to_o put_v his_o finger_n into_o the_o print_n of_o the_o nail_n and_o to_o thrust_v his_o hand_n into_o his_o side_n and_o by_o this_o mean_v all_o his_o doubt_n be_v remove_v now_o the_o same_o ground_n that_o st._n thomas_n have_v to_o believe_v that_o the_o body_n which_o be_v wound_v and_o hang_v dead_a on_o the_o cross_n be_v after_o raise_v again_o the_o very_a same_o have_v we_o to_o believe_v that_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n in_o the_o sacrament_n be_v not_o turn_v into_o the_o natural_a substance_n of_o christ_n body_n and_o blood_n even_o the_o full_a evidence_n of_o our_o sense_n whereas_o if_o st._n thomas_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o apostle_n at_o the_o institution_n of_o this_o holy_a sacrament_n a_o little_a before_o christ_n death_n have_v find_v their_o sense_n to_o be_v so_o gross_o deceive_v as_o papist_n will_v persuade_v we_o i_o know_v not_o how_o they_o can_v well_o have_v trust_v they_o so_o soon_o after_o his_o resurrection_n as_o we_o find_v they_o do_v if_o then_o the_o apostle_n have_v good_a reason_n to_o believe_v the_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n to_o be_v true_a so_o have_v we_o to_o rest_v assure_v that_o this_o doctrine_n of_o transubstantiation_n be_v most_o false_a yea_o let_v i_o add_v if_o we_o be_v sure_a that_o these_o word_n this_o be_v my_o body_n be_v in_o the_o gospel_n than_o so_o sure_o we_o may_v be_v that_o they_o can_v be_v take_v in_o that_o gross_a sense_n which_o papist_n put_v upon_o they_o for_o as_o we_o know_v they_o to_o be_v there_o because_o there_o we_o see_v they_o and_o

read_v they_o so_o do_v we_o as_o plain_o see_v that_o after_o consecration_n the_o bread_n and_o wine_n still_o remain_v in_o their_o natural_a substance_n and_o therefore_o be_v make_v the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n in_o a_o spiritual_a and_o mystical_a sense_n according_a to_o the_o most_o common_a acceptance_n of_o such_o phrase_n that_o relate_v to_o sacrament_n as_o be_v before_o show_v l._n you_o need_v add_v nothing_o more_o to_o clear_v this_o matter_n nor_o can_v i_o imagine_v what_o reply_n they_o can_v make_v except_o they_o shall_v say_v that_o we_o must_v not_o in_o this_o case_n trust_v our_o sense_n but_o exercise_n of_o our_o faith_n t._n this_o indeed_o they_o do_v say_v but_o with_o no_o manner_n of_o reason_n for_o though_o god_n require_v the_o exercise_n of_o our_o faith_n in_o believe_v what_o he_o have_v reveal_v though_o our_o sense_n can_v reach_v to_o or_o discern_v it_o yet_o we_o never_o read_v in_o the_o whole_a book_n of_o scripture_n that_o ever_o he_o require_v man_n to_o believe_v any_o thing_n direct_o contrary_a to_o the_o evidence_n of_o their_o sense_n to_o believe_v it_o be_v dark_a as_o midnight_n when_o they_o see_v the_o sun_n shine_v at_o noonday_n to_o believe_v the_o same_o man_n to_o lie_v dead_a in_o his_o grave_n who_o they_o see_v alive_a walk_v before_o they_o for_o at_o this_o rate_n all_o our_o saviour_n miracle_n have_v be_v wrought_v in_o vain_a if_o man_n must_v not_o believe_v their_o own_o eye_n as_o we_o use_v to_o say_v for_o we_o must_v consider_v that_o almighty_a god_n have_v so_o frame_v our_o nature_n that_o we_o be_v to_o be_v direct_v and_o guide_v by_o our_o sense_n in_o those_o matter_n that_o proper_o belong_v to_o they_o nor_o can_v we_o i_o think_v in_o this_o present_a state_n have_v more_o clear_a and_o full_a assurance_n of_o any_o thing_n than_o what_o our_o sense_n when_o sound_a and_o perfect_a convey_v to_o we_o and_o therefore_o i_o have_v say_v our_o saviour_n take_v this_o way_n to_o give_v assurance_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o his_o gospel_n and_o of_o his_o resurrection_n by_o that_o satisfaction_n he_o give_v to_o the_o very_a sense_n of_o men._n thus_o st._n john_n when_o he_o will_v give_v the_o clear_a and_o full_a evidence_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o christian_a doctrine_n he_o tell_v we_o that_o which_o we_o have_v hear_v which_o we_o have_v see_v with_o our_o eye_n which_o our_o hand_n have_v handle_v declare_v we_o unto_o you_o 1_o joh._n 1._o 1_o 2_o 3._o now_o all_o this_o may_v assure_v we_o that_o those_o word_n this_o be_v my_o body_n be_v not_o to_o be_v take_v in_o such_o a_o sense_n as_o will_v engage_v we_o to_o the_o belief_n of_o transubstantiation_n nay_o the_o word_n of_o god_n itself_o assure_v we_o that_o they_o be_v not_o since_o in_o this_o word_n as_o i_o have_v show_v from_o many_o place_n the_o holy_a bread_n in_o the_o sacrament_n be_v call_v bread_n after_o consecration_n and_o therefore_o be_v we_o so_o to_o believe_v it_o and_o be_v to_o look_v upon_o it_o as_o his_o body_n spiritual_o and_o sacramental_o and_o so_o neither_o one_o text_n contradict_v another_o nor_o will_v our_o faith_n

further_o let_v i_o add_v if_o the_o sense_n of_o all_o man_n throughout_o the_o whole_a world_n be_v thus_o deceive_v as_o they_o must_v be_v if_o transubstantiation_n be_v true_a then_o be_v all_o

come_v to_o he_o from_o heaven_n or_o a_o vision_n appear_v to_o he_o all_o this_o may_v be_v but_o idle_a fancy_n and_o delusion_n his_o hear_v and_o his_o sight_n be_v not_o to_o be_v trust_v yea_o let_v this_o opinion_n be_v admit_v and_o how_o can_v we_o be_v certain_a of_o the_o truth_n of_o that_o which_o god_n have_v in_o his_o word_n reveal_v for_o if_o he_o deceive_v i_o one_o way_n why_o not_o another_o the_o same_o holy_a and_o true_a god_n who_o have_v reveal_v his_o will_n in_o holy_a scripture_n have_v also_o make_v another_o sort_n of_o revelation_n in_o the_o work_n of_o
