that_o the_o faithful_a aught_o to_o be_v in_o nothing_o more_o solicitous_a than_o to_o take_v care_n to_o expiate_v their_o soul_n by_o confession_n 70._o be_v it_o because_o it_o be_v call_v

the_o apologist_n charge_v our_o author_n with_o a_o small_a falsification_n which_o indeed_o he_o have_v now_o mend_v but_o not_o acknowledge_v but_o he_o will_v make_v up_o that_o defect_n by_o the_o force_n of_o his_o argument_n for_o now_o he_o serious_o undertake_v to_o prove_v that_o in_o transubstantiation_n they_o do_v renounce_v all_o their_o five_o sense_n as_o for_o three_o of_o they_o he_o have_v nothing_o to_o say_v but_o then_o sight_n and_o hear_v be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v against_o that_o they_o eminent_o serve_v for_o the_o proof_n of_o it_o as_o how_o if_o say_v he_o we_o follow_v our_o hear_n which_o be_v the_o sense_n by_o which_o faith_n come_v we_o be_v oblige_v to_o believe_v it_o christ_n word_n express_o signify_v and_o declare_v the_o sacrament_n be_v his_o body_n these_o word_n we_o hear_v deliver_v by_o those_o who_o he_o have_v appoint_v to_o teach_v and_o instruct_v the_o flock_n to_o wit_n the_o pastor_n of_o the_o church_n these_o word_n we_o see_v likewise_o and_o read_v in_o holy_a scripture_n so_o that_o if_o we_o follow_v our_o ear_n and_o our_o eye_n direct_v by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n we_o be_v bind_v to_o believe_v this_o mystery_n and_o consequent_o do_v not_o renounce_v all_o our_o five_o sense_n at_o once_o well!_o but_o do_v we_o hear_v christ_n thus_o declare_v no_o but_o we_o hear_v the_o church_n have_v the_o church_n than_o such_o a_o organical_a voice_n to_o speak_v as_o we_o have_v ear_n to_o hear_v no_o but_o the_o church_n teach_v by_o its_o pastor_n but_o be_v the_o pastor_n we_o hear_v all_o infallible_a in_o their_o teach_v and_o be_v we_o to_o believe_v they_o although_o they_o teach_v contrary_a to_o sense_n and_o reason_n there_o indeed_o he_o have_v lose_v the_o case_n but_o however_o he_o bring_v in_o sight_n to_o his_o relief_n for_o these_o word_n say_v he_o we_o see_v likewise_o and_o read_v in_o holy_a scripture_n and_o whilst_o we_o let_v both_o our_o sense_n and_o reason_n be_v immediate_o direct_v by_o god_n word_n which_o be_v infallible_a we_o more_o reverence_v the_o scripture_n and_o believe_v upon_o better_a ground_n than_o the_o protestant_n thus_o we_o be_v at_o last_o lead_v to_o a_o private_a spirit_n and_o the_o protestant_a way_n of_o resolve_v faith_n into_o the_o scripture_n without_o need_n of_o any_o infallible_a interpreter_n for_o it_o be_v but_o let_v our_o sense_n and_o reason_n be_v immediate_o direct_v by_o god_n word_n which_o be_v infallible_a and_o we_o may_v soon_o be_v satisfy_v i_o hearty_o thank_v our_o author_n for_o this_o free_a concession_n for_o these_o be_v the_o ground_n protestant_n do_v believe_v upon_o but_o yet_o he_o will_v needs_o have_v it_o that_o they_o believe_v upon_o better_a ground_n than_o the_o protestant_n this_o i_o be_o apt_a to_o think_v he_o will_v no_o more_o be_v able_a to_o prove_v than_o that_o they_o reverence_n the_o scripture_n more_o than_o protestant_n however_o this_o he_o attempt_n and_o give_v this_o reason_n for_o that_o protestant_n let_v natural_a object_n ever_o about_o mystery_n of_o their_o faith_n have_v the_o direction_n of_o their_o sense_n in_o which_o they_o be_v so_o often_o deceive_v rather_o than_o the_o word_n of_o god_n which_o can_v deceive_v they_o but_o where_o have_v the_o word_n of_o god_n teach_v we_o that_o we_o be_v not_o to_o judge_n of_o natural_a object_n by_o those_o sense_n which_o he_o have_v give_v we_o to_o judge_n of_o natural_a object_n by_o will_v he_o undertake_v to_o prou●_n this_o also_o when_o he_o himself_o acknowledge_v that_o to_o frame_v a_o judgement_n of_o the_o nature_n or_o substance_n of_o a_o thing_n we_o must_v depend_v upon_o the_o information_n of_o sense_n and_o that_o the_o common_a and_o natural_a way_n be_v to_o judge_v according_a to_o the_o relation_n the_o sense_n give_v from_o the_o external_a and_o natural_a accident_n of_o the_o thing_n and_o now_o be_v not_o a_o wafer_n a_o sensible_a object_n and_o be_v we_o not_o to_o judge_n of_o it_o according_a to_o the_o relation_n the_o sense_n give_v of_o it_o and_o from_o its_o external_a and_o natural_a accident_n how_o will_v our_o author_n salve_v this_o difficulty_n that_o he_o proceed_v in_o after_o this_o manner_n but_o if_o we_o desire_v to_o frame_v a_o true_a judgement_n as_o if_o the_o other_o be_v a_o false_a one_o of_o what_o be_v the_o nature_n and_o substance_n of_o such_o a_o object_n not_o according_a to_o a_o natural_a be_v but_o according_a to_o the_o divine_a power_n and_o what_o it_o may_v have_v of_o supernatural_a the_o sense_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v lay_v aside_o but_o we_o must_v consider_v here_o too_o the_o information_n these_o give_v not_o now_o from_o the_o natural_a accident_n but_o from_o the_o word_n of_o god._n i_o shall_v have_v think_v the_o conclusion_n to_o be_v infer_v from_o hence_o will_v rather_o be_v the_o sense_n ought_v to_o be_v lay_v aside_o forasmuch_o as_o we_o be_v not_o in_o such_o case_n to_o judge_n of_o the_o natural_a accident_n according_a to_o what_o they_o report_v for_o i_o must_v confess_v he_o be_v one_o of_o the_o first_o i_o have_v meet_v with_o that_o have_v improve_v the_o argument_n this_o way_n and_o that_o appeal_v to_o the_o sense_n for_o the_o proof_n of_o transubstantiation_n which_o their_o church_n so_o cautious_o warn_v they_o against_o in_o this_o matter_n but_o he_o will_v illustrate_v this_o by_o a_o instance_n in_o another_o matter_n a_o friend_n say_v he_o send_v i_o a_o transparent_a stone_n of_o which_o when_o i_o will_v make_v a_o judgement_n i_o can_v do_v it_o without_o the_o information_n of_o my_o sense_n these_o may_v inform_v i_o two_o way_n either_o by_o look_v upon_o the_o thing_n itself_o or_o by_o read_v the_o letter_n send_v along_o with_o it_o or_o the_o report_n of_o the_o bearer_n if_o i_o take_v the_o information_n of_o my_o sense_n from_o the_o view_n of_o the_o stone_n i_o judge_v it_o to_o be_v a_o pebble_n if_o from_o the_o letter_n write_v by_o a_o excellent_a artist_n and_o the_o bearer_n a_o skilful_a jeweller_n i_o judge_v it_o to_o be_v a_o true_a diamond_n upon_o their_o authority_n and_o great_a skill_n now_o in_o which_o judgement_n of_o these_o aught_o i_o to_o acquiesce_v certain_o in_o this_o last_o and_o yet_o in_o so_o do_v i_o hope_v i_o shall_v not_o renounce_v all_o my_o five_o sense_n at_o once_o so_o since_o my_o sense_n assure_v i_o from_o scripture_n and_o the_o pastor_n of_o god_n church_n that_o the_o sacrament_n be_v christ_n body_n i_o be_o bind_v in_o reason_n to_o judge_n of_o it_o so_o rather_o than_o from_o the_o natural_a accident_n to_o judge_v it_o to_o be_v bread_n so_o that_o in_o thus_o believe_v this_o mystery_n we_o do_v not_o renounce_v but_o follow_v our_o sense_n but_o his_o instance_n reach_v not_o the_o case_n 1._o because_o the_o judge_a whether_o a_o transparent_a stone_n be_v a_o counterfeit_n or_o a_o diamond_n be_v not_o a_o matter_n of_o mere_a sense_n but_o judgement_n skill_n and_o experience_n and_o belong_v to_o a_o artist_n but_o sense_n will_v teach_v every_o one_o whether_o it_o be_v a_o stone_n or_o a_o pea_n hard_a or_o soft_a transparent_a or_o opacous_a but_o now_o the_o case_n before_o we_o be_v whether_o what_o we_o see_v be_v a_o bit_n of_o bread_n or_o the_o body_n of_o a_o man_n whether_o it_o be_v break_v or_o whole_a etc._n etc._n and_o therefore_o to_o put_v the_o case_n right_a and_o make_v it_o parallel_v he_o must_v suppose_v the_o stone_n to_o be_v a_o know_a diamond_n as_o know_v to_o he_o it_o be_v send_v to_o as_o to_o
