not_o ingraft_v into_o it_o but_o into_o the_o mystical_a body_n and_o so_o put_v away_o the_o reason_n aforesaid_a as_o for_o this_o cavil_n i_o say_v we_o may_v soon_o avoid_v it_o if_o so_o be_v that_o we_o will_v consider_v how_o that_o christ_n which_o be_v the_o head_n of_o the_o mystical_a body_n be_v not_o separate_v from_o the_o body_n and_o therefore_o to_o be_v ingraft_v to_o the_o

of_o the_o supper_n reason_n the_o eight_o reason_n it_o be_v a_o plain_a sign_n of_o antichrist_n to_o deny_v the_o substance_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n to_o be_v in_o the_o lord_n supper_n after_o

of_o the_o divine_a nature_n to_o be_v in_o many_o place_n at_o once_o as_o dydimus_n de_fw-fr spiritu_fw-la sancto_fw-la do_v prove_v thereby_o the_o divinity_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n now_o

same_o spirit_n which_o they_o have_v then_o will_v they_o never_o have_v consent_v to_o transubstantiation_n for_o with_o great_a admiration_n some_o of_o the_o father_n do_v say_v that_o the_o

have_v speak_v supper_n christ_n presence_n in_o the_o supper_n i_o will_v wish_v that_o this_o sacrament_n shall_v be_v esteem_v and_o call_v of_o we_o christian_a man_n after_o christ_n word_n

according_o yea_o but_o one_o will_v say_v that_o to_o call_v the_o sacrament_n on_o that_o sort_n objection_n a_o objection_n be_v to_o give_v a_o occasion_n of_o idolatry_n to_o the_o people_n which_o will_v take_v the_o sacrament_n which_o they_o see_v simple_o for_o christ_n body_n as_o by_o experience_n we_o be_v well_o teach_v and_o 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 to_o this_o objection_n i_o answer_v answer_n a_o answer_n that_o indeed_o great_a idolatry_n be_v commit_v to_o and_o about_o this_o sacrament_n and_o therefore_o man_n ought_v as_o much_o as_o they_o can_v to_o avoid_v from_o occasion_n or_o confirm_v it_o but_o in_o as_o much_o 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

avoid_v the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v teach_v us._n 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 which_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 faith_n in_o many_o place_n he_o keep_v still_o the_o name_n of_o bread_n as_o in_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o corinthian_n the_o ten_o and_o eleven_o chapter_n and_o lest_o we_o shall_v make_v to_o light_v of_o it_o make_v it_o but_o a_o bare_a

the_o evil_a 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 faithful_a man_n come_v to_o the_o

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 another_o objection_n of_o christ_n presence_n in_o the_o 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

he_o be_v in_o his_o word_n when_o it_o be_v preach_v and_o therefore_o what_o need_v we_o to_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n in_o as_o much_o as_o by_o this_o doctrine_n a_o man_n may_v receive_v he_o daily_o in_o the_o field_n as_o well_o and_o as_o much_o as_o in_o the_o church_n in_o the_o celebration_n and_o use_n of_o the_o sacrament_n so_o this_o objection_n i_o first_o answer_n that_o

and_o of_o faith_n which_o faith_n though_o it_o be_v of_o thing_n hope_v for_o and_o so_o of_o thing_n absent_a to_o the_o corporal_a sense_n yet_o this_o absence_n be_v not_o a_o absence_n indeed_o
