receive_v the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o our_o saviour_n which_o be_v not_o perform_v by_o faith_n and_o this_o be_v what_o the_o catholic_a church_n teach_v the_o second_o thing_n grant_v by_o the_o

that_o the_o body_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n for_o as_o much_o as_o it_o be_v once_o offer_v up_o in_o sacrifice_n to_o reconcile_v we_o to_o god_n be_v now_o give_v to_o assure_v we_o we_o have_v a_o part_n in_o that_o reconciliation_n if_o there_o be_v any_o sense_n in_o these_o word_n if_o they_o be_v not_o a_o useless_a find_v and_o a_o vain_a amusement_n we_o ought_v to_o understand_v by_o they_o that_o jesus_n christ_n do_v not_o give_v we_o a_o symbol_n only_o but_o his_o proper_a body_n to_o assure_v we_o we_o partake_v of_o his_o sacrifice_n and_o of_o the_o reconciliation_n of_o

force_v to_o distinguish_v in_o the_o last_o supper_n the_o participation_n of_o the_o body_n of_o our_o bless_a saviour_n from_o the_o participation_n of_o the_o fruit_n of_o his_o grace_n in_o his_o

this_o latter_a participation_n will_v never_o furnish_v they_o with_o two_o distinct_a action_n by_o one_o of_o which_o they_o receive_v the_o body_n of_o our_o saviour_n and_o by_o the_o other_o

of_o the_o church_n who_o will_v not_o here_o admire_v the_o force_n of_o truth_n all_o the_o consequence_n which_o follow_v from_o the_o acknowledge_a principle_n of_o our_o adversary_n be_v

which_o jesus_n christ_n which_o be_v not_o to_o be_v find_v any_o where_o else_o it_o be_v no_o difficulty_n for_o they_o to_o understand_v his_o body_n be_v give_v we_o to_o assure_v we_o we_o

into_o a_o manifest_a contradiction_n i_o have_v be_v often_o astonish_v they_o do_v not_o explicate_v their_o doctrine_n after_o a_o more_o plain_a manner_n why_o do_v they_o not_o always_o without_o so_o many_o formality_n persevere_v to_o say_v that_o jesus_n christ_n have_v shed_v his_o blood_n for_o we_o represent_v to_o we_o this_o effusion_n by_o give_v we_o two_o distinct_a sign_n of_o his_o body_n and_o blood_n that_o he_o be_v please_v indeed_o to_o give_v to_o these_o sign_n the_o name_n of_o the_o thing_n itself_o that_o these_o sacred_a sign_n be_v pledge_n to_o assure_v we_o of_o our_o partake_n of_o the_o fruit_n of_o his_o death_n and_o that_o we_o be_v spiritual_o nourish_v by_o the_o virtue_n of_o his_o body_n and_o blood_n after_o so_o many_o endeavour_n to_o prove_v that_o sign_n often_o receive_v the_o name_n of_o the_o thing_n signify_v and_o that_o for_o this_o reason_n the_o sign_n of_o the_o body_n may_v be_v call_v the_o body_n all_o this_o connection_n of_o doctrine_n oblige_v they_o natural_o to_o fix_v there_o to_o render_v these_o sign_n efficacious_a it_o suffice_v the_o grace_n of_o redemption_n be_v annex_v to_o they_o or_o rather_o according_a to_o their_o principle_n that_o it_o be_v in_o they_o confirm_v to_o we_o they_o need_v not_o have_v torment_v themselves_o as_o they_o have_v do_v to_o make_v we_o understand_v we_o receive_v the_o proper_a body_n of_o our_o saviour_n to_o assure_v we_o we_o partake_v of_o the_o grace_n of_o his_o death_n they_o be_v well_o enough_o satisfy_v to_o have_v the_o water_n of_o baptism_n a_o sign_n of_o the_o blood_n which_o wash_v we_o and_o it_o never_o enter_v into_o their_o fancy_n to_o say_v we_o there_o receive_v the_o proper_a substance_n of_o the_o blood_n of_o our_o bless_a saviour_n to_o assure_v we_o his_o virtue_n be_v there_o diffuse_v upon_o we_o if_o they_o have_v argue_v after_o the_o same_o manner_n as_o to_o the_o eucharist_n their_o doctrine_n will_v have_v be_v less_o embroil_v but_o those_o who_o invent_v and_o innovate_v can_v express_v all_o they_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o they_o find_v certain_a truth_n and_o maxim_n establish_v which_o

the_o pelagian_o who_o deny_v original_a sin_n will_v also_o willing_o have_v deny_v that_o baptism_n be_v give_v to_o little_a child_n for_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n for_o by_o that_o mean_v they_o will_v have_v be_v free_v from_o the_o argument_n which_o catholic_n draw_v from_o this_o practice_n to_o prove_v that_o original_a defect_n but_o as_o i_o just_a now_o say_v those_o who_o find_v some_o truth_n firm_o establish_v have_v not_o the_o boldness_n or_o rather_o impudence_n to_o overthrow_v all_o let_v the_o calvinist_n ingenuous_o confess_v the_o truth_n they_o will_v have_v be_v well_o please_v to_o acknowledge_v in_o the_o eucharist_n the_o body_n of_o our_o bless_a saviour_n only_o figurative_o and_o the_o sole_a participation_n of_o his_o spirit_n in_o effect_n lay_v aside_o those_o great_a word_n of_o participation_n of_o his_o proper_a substance_n and_o the_o many_o other_o which_o import_v a_o real_a presence_n and_o serve_v only_a to_o perplex_v they_o it_o will_v have_v be_v more_o to_o their_o humour_n to_o have_v acknowledge_v in_o the_o lord_n supper_n no_o other_o communion_n with_o jesus_n christ_n but_o what_o be_v also_o common_a to_o preach_v and_o to_o baptism_n without_o tell_v we_o as_o they_o have_v do_v that_o in_o the_o lord_n supper_n he_o be_v receive_v in_o plenitude_n and_o every_o where_o else_o only_o in_o part_n but_o
