a_o answer_n but_o indeed_o we_o can_v never_o expect_v any_o reason_n from_o they_o who_o reject_v scripture_n father_n practice_n of_o primitive_a time_n yea_o and_o the_o institution_n of_o

transubstantiation_n we_o teach_v that_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n be_v give_v take_v and_o eat_v only_o after_o a_o heavenly_a and_o spiritual_a manner_n by_o the_o mean_a of_o faith_n there_o must_v be_v some_o great_a and_o wonderful_a change_n of_o the_o element_n or_o else_o the_o common_a bread_n make_v of_o corn_n can_v never_o become_v a_o instrument_n of_o heavenly_a grace_n and_o life_n to_o feed_v quicken_v and_o strengthen_v the_o soul_n to_o life_n eternal_a and_o this_o change_n of_o the_o element_n can_v be_v in_o their_o substance_n first_o because_o that_o will_v overthrow_v the_o nature_n of_o a_o true_a body_n as_o have_v be_v say_v second_o it_o overthrow_v the_o nature_n of_o a_o sacrament_n but_o the_o change_n we_o acknowledge_v be_v in_o their_o use_n

holy_a instrument_n to_o feed_v and_o nourish_v the_o soul_n to_o life_n eternal_a for_o if_o the_o woman_n that_o have_v the_o bloody_a issue_n matth._n 9_o draw_v virtue_n out_o of_o christ_n to_o

what_o the_o bread_n be_v but_o what_o his_o body_n be_v not_o that_o the_o bread_n be_v turn_v into_o his_o flesh_n but_o that_o his_o body_n be_v food_n for_o our_o soul_n as_o bread_n be_v for_o our_o body_n it_o show_v not_o any_o conversion_n of_o one_o substance_n into_o another_o but_o only_o the_o relation_n that_o be_v between_o they_o he_o which_o before_o call_v his_o body_n bread_n now_o call_v the_o bread_n his_o body_n that_o by_o this_o change_n of_o name_n we_o may_v understand_v and_o believe_v the_o change_n that_o be_v make_v by_o grace_n and_o not_o so_o much_o heed_n the_o thing_n we_o see_v as_o mind_v the_o thing_n we_o see_v not_o theod._n we_o confess_v then_o that_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n be_v give_v and_o receive_v we_o agree_v about_o the_o matter_n all_o the_o question_n be_v about_o the_o manner_n they_o say_v it_o be_v corporal_o and_o carnal_o we_o grant_v real_o if_o by_o real_o you_o understand_v true_o and_o indeed_o but_o yet_o that_o it_o be_v spiritual_a heavenly_a and_o divine_a the_o truth_n be_v present_a with_o the_o sign_n the_o holy_a spirit_n with_o the_o sacrament_n feed_v our_o soul_n with_o the_o truth_n
