more_o ample_a for_o believe_v the_o latter_a to_o be_v the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n than_o for_o believe_v the_o former_n to_o be_v the_o holy_a ghost_n as_o to_o the_o eight_o last_o text_n which_o the_o gentleman_n have_v produce_v to_o disprove_v our_o doctrine_n of_o the_o real_a presence_n to_o wit_n act._n 1._o v._n 11._o act._n 3._o v._n 21._o st._n luk._n 24._o v._n 39_o

quick_a and_o the_o dead_a and_o of_o consequence_n fix_v at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o the_o father_n and_o can_v be_v as_o we_o suppose_v in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n in_o so_o many_o place_n at_o the_o same_o time._n which_o barren_a conceit_n of_o christ_n be_v sufficient_o answer_v pag._n 15_o 16._o where_o it_o be_v prove_v from_o scripture_n that_o although_o christ_n ascend_v and_o be_v in_o heaven_n yet_o it_o argue_v not_o but_o that_o he_o be_v and_o may_v be_v on_o earth_n too_o for_o that_o he_o be_v a_o perfect_a and_o a_o omnipotent_a god_n and_o have_v promise_v mat._n 28._o v._n 20._o that_o he_o will_v be_v with_o we_o always_o even_o to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n and_o mat._n 18._o v._n 20._o that_o where_o two_o or_o three_o be_v gather_v together_o in_o his_o name_n that_o he_o be_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o they_o and_o further_o it_o appear_v that_o our_o saviour_n be_v not_o so_o confine_v in_o heaven_n as_o that_o he_o can_v also_o be_v upon_o earth_n for_o we_o read_v that_o he_o descend_v and_o overthrow_v saul_n in_o the_o way_n to_o damascus_n and_o speak_v to_o he_o say_v act._n 9_o v._n 4_o 5._o saul_n saul_n why_o persecute_v thou_o i_o and_o he_o say_v who_o be_v thou_o lord_n and_o the_o lord_n say_v i_o be_o jesus_n who_o thou_o persecute_v wherefore_o the_o gentleman_n notion_n of_o christ_n be_v only_a in_o heaven_n you_o see_v be_v frivolous_a for_o that_o christ_n not_o only_o speak_v with_o saul_n in_o the_o highway_n but_o have_v promise_v as_o before_o to_o be_v with_o we_o always_o even_o to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world._n and_o it_o be_v further_o prove_v that_o christ_n may_v be_v actual_o present_a without_o be_v see_v for_o when_o he_o speak_v to_o saul_n the_o man_n that_o travel_v with_o he_o to_o damascus_n stand_v by_o act._n 9_o v._n 7._o speechless_a hear_v a_o voice_n but_o see_v no_o man._n by_o all_o which_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o christ_n may_v be_v on_o earth_n and_o in_o many_o place_n at_o the_o same_o time_n as_o well_o as_o in_o heaven_n or_o else_o he_o can_v not_o be_v with_o we_o always_o even_o to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n nor_o with_o saul_n in_o the_o way_n nor_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o all_o the_o assembly_n of_o the_o faithful_a that_o be_v gather_v together_o in_o his_o name_n in_o so_o many_o place_n throughout_o the_o world_n at_o one_o and_o the_o

although_o those_o text_n do_v prove_v the_o resurrection_n ascension_n and_o be_v of_o christ_n in_o heaven_n yet_o they_o do_v not_o at_o all_o destroy_v the_o power_n of_o christ_n be_v in_o divers_a place_n at_o the_o same_o time_n according_a to_o his_o divine_a will._n and_o please_v to_o note_v that_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o any_o thing_n to_o be_v in_o the_o will_n which_o be_v not_o in_o the_o power_n of_o god._n wherefore_o as_o it_o be_v in_o his_o will_n prove_v by_o his_o word_n to_o give_v we_o bread_n to_o eat_v which_o shall_v be_v his_o flesh_n so_o it_o be_v in_o his_o power_n that_o that_o bread_n shall_v be_v his_o flesh_n though_o no_o more_o taste_v in_o the_o sacrament_n than_o see_v when_o he_o speak_v unto_o saul_n and_o that_o he_o who_o greatness_n the_o heaven_n be_v not_o able_a to_o contain_v have_v both_o the_o power_n and_o the_o will_n to_o be_v conceive_v in_o the_o womb_n of_o the_o bless_a virgin_n contrary_a to_o the_o course_n of_o nature_n where_o from_o almost_o nothing_o he_o increase_v to_o be_v bear_v a_o child-god_n and_o to_o die_v a_o god-man_n and_o in_o who_o power_n it_o be_v to_o pass_v with_o his_o body_n entire_a through_o wall_n or_o door_n that_o be_v close_o in_o his_o power_n likewise_o it_o be_v to_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o small_a particle_n of_o bread._n wherefore_o with_o the_o believe_a disciple_n let_v we_o believe_v and_o not_o with_o the_o murmur_a jew_n doubt_v how_o he_o can_v give_v we_o his_o flesh_n to_o eat_v and_o his_o blood_n to_o drink_v nor_o with_o the_o incredulous_a disciple_n say_v it_o be_v a_o hard_a say_v who_o can_v hear_v it_o nor_o for_o this_o cause_n go_v back_o as_o they_o do_v and_o walk_v no_o more_o with_o christ_n as_o they_o do_v who_o deny_v the_o be_v of_o his_o body_n and_o blood_n in_o the_o sacrament_n so_o express_o confirm_v by_o he_o in_o who_o word_n there_o be_v no_o contradiction_n wherefore_o the_o defect_n be_v not_o in_o the_o word_n but_o in_o the_o carnal_a imagination_n of_o those_o who_o have_v not_o faith_n to_o believe_v it_o nor_o scripture_n to_o disprove_v it_o nor_o be_v it_o hard_a but_o to_o the_o obstinate_a nor_o incredible_a but_o to_o the_o incredulous_a wherefore_o to_o conclude_v i_o humble_o submit_v the_o whole_a to_o your_o prudent_a consideration_n and_o remind_v you_o of_o your_o resolution_n pag._n 5._o that_o you_o will_v be_v either_o catholic_n or_o protestant_n as_o the_o verdict_n upon_o this_o trial_n shall_v go_v and_o that_o the_o success_n shall_v depend_v upon_o the_o evidence_n which_o evidence_n in_o your_o opinion_n be_v the_o bible_n and_o that_o whoever_o produce_v the_o full_a and_o clear_a testimony_n have_v the_o truth_n on_o his_o side_n wherefore_o as_o you_o value_v the_o eternal_a safety_n of_o your_o soul_n please_v serious_o to_o distinguish_v and_o peruse_v the_o text_n which_o i_o have_v assign_v for_o it_o and_o those_o which_o the_o protestant_a answerer_n have_v bring_v against_o it_o and_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o it_o will_v appear_v that_o the_o scripture_n assign_v on_o the_o catholic_n part_n be_v abundant_o expressive_a and_o plain_a for_o the_o be_v of_o christ_n body_n and_o blood_n in_o the_o sacrament_n and_o that_o the_o scripture_n produce_v on_o the_o protestant_a part_n be_v also_o express_o for_o it_o or_o not_o at_o all_o against_o it_o for_o that_o what_o i_o have_v offer_v be_v the_o express_a word_n of_o god_n who_o promise_v say_v that_o the_o bread_n which_o he_o will_v give_v be_v his_o flesh_n which_o he_o will_v give_v for_o ãâã_d life_n of_o the_o world_n and_o perform_v take_v bread_n bless_v it_o break_v it_o ãâã_d give_v it_o say_v take_v eat_v this_o be_v my_o body_n which_o word_n of_o promise_n aââ¦_n performance_n be_v positive_a and_o have_v never_o yet_o by_o divine_a authority_n bââ¦_n contradict_v for_o that_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o produce_v one_o syllable_n out_o of_o tââ¦_n whole_a bible_n to_o prove_v the_o contrary_a wherefore_o see_v that_o protestaââ¦_n can_v prove_v by_o express_a scripture_n that_o the_o bread_n which_o christ_n blââ¦sed_v and_o give_v at_o his_o supper_n be_v not_o his_o flesh_n and_o that_o catholic_n caââ¦_n and_o do_v that_o it_o be_v i_o hope_v you_o will_v be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o convince_v ãâã_d believe_v the_o real_a presence_n by_o how_o much_o the_o word_n of_o goââ¦_n be_v more_o powerful_a than_o the_o argument_n of_o man_n i_o say_v than_o the_o argument_n or_o word_n of_o man_n for_o that_o the_o argument_n allege_v by_o tââ¦_n protestant_n answerer_n against_o the_o real_a presence_n be_v all_o of_o man_n and_o nââ¦_n of_o god_n they_o be_v his_o word_n and_o not_o the_o word_n of_o god_n whereas_o thoââ¦_n absolute_a and_o express_a take_v eat_v this_o be_v my_o body_n be_v the_o word_n ãâã_d god_n and_o not_o of_o man_n and_o he_o neither_o have_v nor_o can_v produce_v one_o texââ¦_n to_o contradict_v they_o wherefore_o i_o expect_v to_o hear_v of_o your_o satisfactioââ¦_n and_o declaration_n for_o the_o catholic_n faith_n in_o this_o particular_a and_o nââ¦_n that_o you_o behave_v yourself_o like_o those_o frivolous_a vain_a and_o impertineââ¦_n enquirer_n who_o when_o convince_v of_o one_o point_n mind_v it_o no_o more_o bââ¦_n desire_v to_o be_v satisfy_v of_o another_o assume_v as_o it_o be_v a_o assurance_n ãâã_d themselves_o that_o though_o we_o be_v right_a in_o the_o real_a presence_n we_o may_v be_v wroââ¦_n in_o reference_n to_o the_o infallibility_n and_o if_o right_a in_o
