in_o a_o certain_a manner_n a_o give_v also_o as_o baptism_n signify_v not_o only_o the_o cleanse_n of_o the_o conscience_n from_o sin_n by_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n blood_n but_o also_o be_v a_o

i_o speak_v not_o as_o though_o the_o element_n of_o these_o sacrament_n be_v transsubstantiate_a which_o i_o have_v already_o impugn_a either_o as_o though_o christ_n body_n be_v in_o bread_n or_o

a_o christian_a conscience_n will_v call_v and_o esteem_v the_o bread_n of_o the_o lord_n as_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n for_o it_o will_v never_o esteem_v the_o sacrament_n of_o christ_n after_o their_o exterior_a appearance_n but_o after_o the_o word_n of_o christ_n whereof_o it_o come_v that_o the_o father_n as_o chrysostome_n and_o other_o do_v speak_v with_o so_o full_a a_o mouth_n when_o they_o speak_v of_o the_o sacrament_n for_o their_o respect_n be_v to_o christ_n word_n if_o the_o schoolman_n which_o follow_v have_v the_o same_o spirit_n which_o they_o have_v then_o will_v they_o

no_o common_a bread_n nor_o common_a wine_n be_v ordain_v to_o serve_v for_o the_o food_n of_o the_o soul_n the_o schoolman_n have_v understand_v it_o as_o the_o papist_n now_o preach_v of_o a_o

shall_v be_v esteem_v &_o call_v of_o we_o christian_a man_n after_o christ_n word_n namely_o christ_n body_n and_o the_o wine_n christ_n blood_n rather_o than_o otherwise_o not_o that_o i_o mean_v

the_o papist_n do_v mean_a for_o in_o such_o sort_n christ_n body_n be_v only_o in_o heaven_n on_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o god_n the_o father_n almighty_a whither_o our_o faith_n in_o the_o use_n

therefore_o it_o be_v better_a to_o call_v it_o bread_n and_o so_o less_o harm_n shall_v be_v especial_o in_o this_o age_n answer_n to_o this_o objection_n i_o answer_v that_o indeed_o great_a

as_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v wise_a than_o man_n and_o have_v foresight_n of_o the_o evil_n that_o may_v be_v and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o do_v call_v it_o christ_n body_n i_o think_v we_o shall_v do_v evil_a if_o we_o shall_v take_v upon_o we_o to_o reform_v his_o speech_n if_o minister_n do_v their_o duty_n in_o catechise_v and_o preach_v then_o doubtless_o to_o call_v the_o sacrament_n christ_n body_n and_o to_o esteem_v it_o according_o can_v not_o give_v occasion_n to_o idolatry_n and_o confirm_v it_o therefore_o woe_n unto_o they_o that_o preach_v not_o there_o be_v two_o evil_n about_o the_o sacrament_n which_o to_o avoid_v the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v teach_v we_o for_o least_o we_o shall_v with_o the_o papist_n think_v christ_n body_n present_a in_o or_o with_o the_o bread_n real_o natural_o and_o corporal_o to_o be_v receive_v with_o our_o bodily_a mouth_n where_o there_o be_v no_o other_o presence_n of_o christ_n body_n then_o spiritual_a and_o to_o the_o

that_o not_o only_o as_o well_o to_o avoid_v the_o evil_n which_o be_v now_o a_o day_n most_o to_o be_v fear_v concern_v the_o sacrament_n i_o mean_v of_o contemn_v it_o as_o also_o for_o that_o no_o

the_o lord_n be_v merciful_a unto_o us._n amen_n and_o thus_o much_o for_o the_o objection_n of_o call_v the_o sacrament_n by_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n body_n sacrament_n what_o say_v one_o to_o call_v the_o sacrament_n christ_n body_n and_o to_o make_v none_o other_o presence_n then_o by_o grace_n or_o spiritual_o to_o faith_n which_o be_v of_o thing_n hope_v for_o and_o of_o thing_n which_o
