which_o the_o author_n be_v engage_v in_o by_o espouse_v false_a principle_n and_o among_o the_o rest_n as_o the_o chief_a that_o sense_n can_v judge_v of_o the_o internal_a nature_n or_o substance_n of_o thing_n for_o all_o that_o be_v the_o proper_a object_n of_o sense_n that_o be_v the_o species_n or_o outward_a accident_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n be_v allow_v to_o be_v present_a in_o the_o

apparent_a to_o all_o man_n that_o have_v the_o use_n of_o their_o reason_n that_o all_o the_o author_n crack_v confidence_n upon_o this_o argument_n be_v found_v upon_o a_o vulgar_a error_n sly_o

but_o lest_o any_o shall_v be_v deceive_v with_o this_o popular_a argument_n and_o take_v up_o a_o prejudice_n against_o we_o as_o in_o good_a reason_n they_o may_v since_o they_o be_v make_v to_o believe_v that_o we_o will_v persuade_v they_o out_o of_o their_o sense_n i_o shall_v be_v so_o far_o from_o endeavour_v to_o do_v this_o as_o the_o author_n fond_o imagine_v all_o catholic_n do_v that_o rather_o out_o of_o a_o deep_a sentiment_n of_o gratitude_n to_o the_o great_a god_n of_o nature_n who_o have_v so_o fearful_o and_o wonderful_o make_v these_o body_n of_o we_o i_o shall_v free_o acknowledge_v that_o the_o sense_n do_v not_o deceive_v we_o at_o all_o for_o the_o deception_n do_v not_o lie_v at_o any_o time_n in_o the_o sense_n but_o in_o the_o judgement_n and_o the_o sense_n do_v always_o give_v true_a hint_n to_o the_o mind_n when_o their_o organ_n and_o the_o medium_fw-la be_v right_o dispose_v and_o they_o be_v employ_v about_o their_o proper_a and_o adequate_a object_n what_o we_o may_v certain_o conclude_v from_o the_o goodness_n and_o veracity_n of_o god_n be_v that_o he_o will_v not_o deceive_v man_n the_o creature_n that_o he_o love_v and_o therefore_o usual_o those_o object_n which_o be_v represent_v to_o he_o by_o his_o sense_n as_o have_v relation_n to_o the_o conservation_n of_o his_o body_n be_v of_o such_o and_o such_o a_o determinate_a substance_n as_o the_o outward_a and_o sensible_a accident_n do_v hint_n they_o to_o be_v of_o so_o that_o he_o be_v not_o mistake_v in_o they_o unless_o he_o judge_v rash_o and_o then_o too_o there_o be_v mean_n provide_v by_o which_o he_o may_v correct_v his_o error_n thus_o the_o substance_n of_o fire_n be_v general_o represent_v under_o the_o species_n or_o usual_a form_n of_o fire_n of_o a_o dove_n under_o the_o usual_a form_n or_o likeness_n of_o a_o dove_n so_o that_o we_o may_v allow_v in_o this_o manner_n that_o ordinary_o the_o substance_n do_v incur_v into_o the_o mind_n through_o the_o sense_n by_o mean_n of_o the_o accident_n but_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o sense_n can_v judge_v either_o of_o the_o substance_n or_o accident_n therefore_o god_n who_o be_v the_o author_n of_o nature_n and_o can_v change_v it_o when_o he_o please_v that_o man_n may_v not_o be_v deceive_v in_o this_o kind_n do_v usual_o inform_v he_o when_o he_o make_v any_o substantial_a change_n of_o this_o nature_n in_o his_o creature_n which_o be_v above_o the_o reason_n of_o man_n to_o comprehend_v from_o any_o hint_n make_v by_o his_o sense_n as_o be_v true_o miraculous_a thus_o when_o the_o holy_a ghost_n appear_v in_o the_o form_n of_o a_o dove_n man_n be_v inform_v by_o god_n that_o it_o be_v real_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o substance_n of_o nature_n and_o not_o a_o dove_n when_o the_o same_o holy_a spirit_n descend_v upon_o the_o apostle_n in_o the_o visible_a appearance_n of_o cleave_a tongue_n of_o fire_n they_o have_v notice_n from_o heaven_n that_o this_o be_v true_o that_o holy_a spirit_n which_o come_v in_o this_o visible_a shape_n when_o angel_n appear_v in_o the_o form_n of_o man_n they_o have_v it_o reveal_v to_o they_o that_o they_o be_v notwithstanding_o angel_n when_o our_o lord_n present_v himself_o to_o his_o disciple_n under_o the_o species_n of_o bread_n he_o tell_v they_o plain_o that_o it_o be_v his_o body_n to_o show_v which_o revelation_n to_o have_v be_v make_v from_o the_o authority_n of_o holy_a scripture_n and_o father_n will_v be_v the_o subject_n of_o the_o ensue_a discourse_n this_o which_o i_o have_v here_o say_v be_v full_o conclusive_a against_o the_o argument_n of_o sense_n be_v proper_o the_o judge_n of_o substance_n and_o now_o who_o be_v it_o that_o abuse_v the_o sense_n the_o author_n or_o catholic_n he_o by_o apply_v they_o to_o judge_v of_o substance_n which_o be_v a_o object_n that_o be_v no_o way_n adequate_v to_o they_o will_v make_v they_o to_o deceive_v men._n we_o employ_v they_o about_o their_o proper_a object_n which_o be_v here_o the_o accident_n or_o outward_a species_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n which_o as_o by_o they_o we_o be_v convince_v do_v still_o remain_v after_o consecration_n prove_v the_o
