of_o tertullian_n origen_n &_o cyprian_n by_o the_o many_o register_v heresy_n by_o irenaeus_n epiphanius_n &_o augustine_n if_o then_o s._n augustine_n have_v write_v herein_o contrary_a to_o the_o

unity_n of_o faith_n or_o if_o the_o father_n of_o his_o day_n &_o other_o precedent_a time_n have_v in_o such_o their_o perspicuous_a say_n of_o the_o eucharist_n broach_v a_o new_a heresy_n in_o

either_o side_n be_v agreeable_a to_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o other_o see_v then_o that_o s._n augustine_n be_v tie_v most_o firm_o in_o friendship_n with_o s._n ambrose_n who_o testimony_n touch_v the_o eucharist_n be_v acknowledge_v for_o we_o even_o by_o the_o sacramentary_n how_o can_v it_o be_v probable_o presume_v that_o s._n augustine_n shall_v dissent_v from_o he_o in_o so_o high_a a_o

caution_n which_o i_o will_v here_o deliver_v be_v to_o weigh_v whether_o the_o action_n record_v by_o any_o father_n do_v rather_o sort_v to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o catholic_n touch_v the_o real_a presence_n or_o to_o the_o opinion_n of_o the_o sacramentarye_n since_o the_o father_n approbation_n of_o any_o such_o work_n do_v sufficient_o warrant_v in_o their_o judgement_n the_o faith_n whereunto_o such_o action_n be_v true_o appropriate_v thus_o answerable_o heerto_o we_o find_v that_o s._n augustine_n lib._n 22._o de_fw-fr civit._n dei_fw-la c._n 8._o report_v that_o a_o certain_a
