change_v for_o bread_n can_v be_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n if_o it_o be_v not_o bread._n let_v he_o choose_v which_o he_o will_v either_o this_o signify_v this_o bread_n or_o it_o do_v not_o if_o it_o do_v than_o the_o bread_n can_v be_v substantial_o change_v for_o the_o bread_n be_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n and_o therefore_o be_v bread_n still_o be_v bread_n and_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n too_o if_o it_o do_v not_o then_o how_o do_v he_o prove_v that_o the_o word_n of_o consecration_n in_o a_o literal_a sense_n transubstantiate_v the_o bread_n into_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n for_o this_o do_v not_o signify_v the_o bread_n and_o therefore_o this_o be_v my_o body_n can_v signify_v that_o the_o substance_n of_o bread_n be_v transubstantiate_v into_o christ_n body_n i_o wonder_v our_o author_n be_v not_o ashamed_a at_o this_o time_n of_o day_n to_o talk_v at_o this_o rate_n after_o somany_a excellent_a book_n as_o have_v be_v write_v upon_o this_o argument_n to_o save_v myself_o any_o far_a trouble_n i_o shall_v direct_v my_o reader_n to_o the_o late_a dialogue_n about_o the_o trinity_n and_o transubstantiation_n and_o the_o discourse_n of_o the_o holy_a eucharist_n in_o the_o two_o great_a point_n of_o the_o real_a presence_n and_o the_o adoration_n of_o the_o host_n where_o he_o will_v find_v abundant_a satisfaction_n also_o to_o the_o two_o next_o point_n which_o follow_v v._o our_o lord_n presence_n in_o the_o eucharist_n be_v mere_o gracious_a and_o influential_a and_o if_o more_o only_o to_o the_o faithful_a in_o answer_n to_o this_o i_o show_v he_o what_o we_o mean_v by_o christ_n presence_n in_o the_o eucharist_n that_o he_o be_v so_o present_a that_o his_o body_n and_o blood_n with_o all_o the_o benefit_n of_o his_o death_n and_o

than_o the_o mere_a influence_n of_o his_o grace_n but_o he_o say_v i_o assert_v our_o lord_n eucharistical_a presence_n not_o to_o be_v substantial_a that_o be_v i_o suppose_v that_o the_o natural_a substance_n of_o his_o body_n be_v not_o there_o and_o therefore_o that_o he_o be_v not_o corporal_o present_a and_o this_o indeed_o i_o do_v assert_v therefore_o say_v he_o unless_o entire_o absent_a our_o lord_n must_v be_v present_a in_o the_o eucharist_n by_o grace_n and_o influence_n only_o what_o be_v there_o beside_o substance_n and_o efficacy_n belong_v to_o our_o saviour_n body_n and_o blood_n no_o colour_n of_o scripture_n be_v produce_v for_o this_o zuinglian_a proposition_n if_o he_o will_v allow_v no_o medium_n between_o christ_n corporal_n and_o substantial_a presence_n and_o his_o grace_n and_o influence_n since_o it_o be_v demonstrable_a that_o he_o be_v not_o corporal_o present_a we_o must_v in_o this_o sense_n allow_v that_o he_o be_v present_a only_a by_o his_o grace_n and_o influence_n as_o that_o be_v oppose_v to_o a_o corporal_a presence_n and_o all_o man_n must_v allow_v this_o who_o deny_v transubstantiation_n or_o consubstantiation_n but_o what_o be_v there_o beside_o substance_n and_o efficacy_n belong_v to_o our_o saviour_n body_n and_o blood_n i_o answer_v there_o can_v be_v nothing_o natural_o belong_v to_o any_o body_n beside_o its_o

a_o institution_n and_o therefore_o not_o to_o have_v a_o natural_a but_o institute_v virtue_n and_o efficacy_n for_o the_o very_a notion_n of_o a_o institution_n be_v that_o all_o the_o virtue_n and_o efficacy_n of_o it_o be_v not_o owe_v to_o nature_n but_o to_o the_o will_n and_o appointment_n of_o god._n whatever_o be_v a_o natural_a power_n be_v no_o institution_n no_o sacrament_n for_o the_o effect_n there_o be_v whole_o owe_v to_o nature_n not_o to_o god_n appointment_n which_o act_v by_o a_o power_n and_o influence_n superior_a to_o nature_n which_o i_o think_v be_v little_o less_o than_o a_o demonstration_n that_o the_o natural_a body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o substantial_o present_a in_o the_o eucharist_n for_o whatever_o efficacy_n and_o virtue_n we_o

it_o be_v not_o if_o it_o be_v than_o it_o be_v no_o sacrament_n which_o work_v not_o by_o the_o power_n of_o nature_n but_o of_o institution_n if_o it_o be_v not_o what_o need_n be_v there_o of_o christ_n bodily_a presence_n in_o the_o sacrament_n when_o a_o sacramental_a body_n of_o christ_n consecrate_a bread_n and_o wine_n to_o represent_v and_o exhibit_v his_o break_a body_n and_o his_o bloodshed_n for_o we_o by_o virtue_n of_o a_o institution_n may_v be_v as_o effectual_a to_o all_o the_o end_n and_o purpose_n of_o a_o sacrament_n as_o his_o natural_a body_n can_v be_v which_o can_v have_v no_o sacramental_a efficacy_n but_o by_o virtue_n of_o a_o institution_n the_o benefit_n we_o expect_v from_o this_o sacramental_a feed_n on_o christ_n body_n be_v a_o interest_n in_o the_o merit_n of_o his_o death_n and_o passion_n viz._n the_o forgiveness_n of_o our_o sin_n the_o communication_n of_o his_o grace_n and_o spirit_n and_o a_o right_a to_o immortal_a life_n now_o i_o will_v desire_v to_o know_v whether_o these_o be_v the_o natural_a effect_n of_o a_o corporal_a eat_a christ_n natural_a body_n he_o purchase_v all_o this_o for_o we_o indeed_o by_o his_o death_n and_o

communicate_v it_o to_o we_o do_v the_o communication_n of_o grace_n and_o spiritual_a life_n flow_v from_o the_o body_n or_o from_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n be_v it_o the_o contact_n of_o his_o

suppose_v to_o be_v inherent_a in_o it_o a_o natural_a efficacy_n such_o as_o can_v belong_v to_o human_a body_n signify_v nothing_o to_o the_o purpose_n of_o a_o sacrament_n and_o there_o can_v be_v no_o other_o efficacy_n inherent_a in_o christ_n natural_a body_n unless_o he_o will_v say_v that_o pardon_n of_o sin_n and_o spiritual_a grace_n and_o a_o power_n of_o make_v other_o body_n immortal_a be_v the_o inherent_a and_o essential_a property_n of_o christ_n body_n but_o suppose_v it_o be_v so_o how_o can_v the_o mere_a presence_n of_o christ_n natural_a body_n in_o the_o sacrament_n which_o we_o neither_o see_v nor_o touch_v nor_o eat_v communicate_v all_o these_o divine_a virtue_n to_o we_o for_o if_o it_o be_v by_o natural_a communication_n it_o must_v be_v by_o contact_n for_o body_n have_v no_o other_o way_n of_o work_v upon_o each_o other_o and_o yet_o they_o will_v not_o allow_v that_o we_o touch_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n no_o more_o than_o that_o we_o

then_o how_o can_v it_o natural_o communicate_v its_o virtue_n to_o we_o so_o that_o though_o the_o natural_a body_n of_o christ_n be_v present_a in_o the_o sacrament_n those_o divine_a grace_n we_o expect_v from_o it_o must_v be_v the_o effect_n of_o a_o sacramental_a institution_n not_o of_o nature_n and_o therefore_o the_o natural_a presence_n of_o christ_n body_n be_v of_o no_o use_n in_o the_o sacrament_n for_o god_n may_v as_o well_o annex_v all_o the_o benefit_n of_o his_o death_n and_o passion_n to_o the_o sacramental_a sign_n of_o his_o body_n and_o blood_n as_o to_o his_o

what_o may_v as_o well_o be_v otherwise_o supply_v and_o the_o sacramental_a eat_n of_o christ_n body_n in_o efficacious_a sign_n be_v so_o easy_a and_o intelligible_a and_o by_o the_o power_n of_o

there_o shall_v be_v any_o such_o divine_a office_n in_o public_a worship_n which_o the_o people_n be_v not_o bind_v to_o join_v in_o methinks_v the_o apostle_n argument_n against_o speak_v in_o a_o

for_o edification_n when_o people_n be_v not_o bind_v to_o join_v in_o they_o unless_o every_o thing_n in_o public_a worship_n must_v be_v do_v for_o edification_n and_o therefore_o must_v be_v understand_v by_o the_o people_n who_o be_v to_o be_v edify_v by_o it_o the_o apostle_n argument_n against_o these_o inspire_a tongue_n be_v not_o good_a for_o if_o our_o author_n have_v be_v present_a when_o st._n paul_n write_v this_o he_o can_v have_v easy_o answer_v he_o that_o there_o be_v no_o need_n that_o the_o whole_a congregation_n shall_v understand_v these_o inspire_a man_n but_o let_v those_o understand_v who_o can_v and_o if_o no_o body_n understand_v it_o what_o hurt_n do_v it_o do_v nay_o the_o exercise_n of_o such_o extraordinary_a gift_n do_v edify_v those_o who_o see_v and_o hear_v though_o they_o do_v not_o understand_v and_o when_o the_o spirit_n inspire_v man_n to_o speak_v in_o unknown_a tongue_n we_o have_v reason_n to_o think_v that_o the_o spirit_n do_v not_o intend_v that_o every_o one_o shall_v understand_v they_o and_o that_o be_v reason_n to_o believe_v that_o the_o exercise_n of_o such_o gift_n be_v very_o fit_v though_o they_o be_v not_o understand_v let_v our_o author_n try_v now_o how_o he_o can_v justify_v st._n paul_n argument_n against_o unknown_a though_o inspire_v tongue_n upon_o the_o principle_n which_o he_o have_v lay_v down_o that_o the_o people_n be_v not_o bind_v to_o join_v in_o all_o the_o office_n of_o public_a worship_n that_o any_o thing_n may_v be_v do_v in_o public_a worship_n which_o be_v not_o for_o public_a edification_n or_o let_v he_o try_v if_o he_o can_v say_v half_a so_o much_o for_o such_o settle_a form_n of_o divine_a office_n as_o people_n be_v not_o bind_v to_o join_v in_o and_o therefore_o not_o bind_v to_o understand_v as_o may_v be_v plead_v for_o the_o occasional_a exercise_n of_o miraculous_a and_o inspire_a gift_n in_o a_o unknown_a tongue_n and_o if_o he_o can_v than_o this_o answer_n he_o give_v about_o such_o office_n as_o people_n be_v not_o bind_v to_o join_v in_o be_v a_o better_a answer_n to_o st._n paul_n than_o it_o be_v to_o protestant_n a_o much_o better_a vindication_n of_o the_o exercise_n of_o such_o unknown_a tongue_n than_o of_o the_o use_n of_o latin_a service_n where_o latin_a be_v a_o unknown_a tongue_n for_o second_o i_o will_v ask_v our_o author_n whether_o there_o be_v any_o office_n of_o religion_n which_o people_n be_v bind_v to_o attend_v to_o and_o to_o join_v in_o his_o say_n that_o there_o be_v many_o which_o they_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o attend_v to_o suppose_n that_o there_o be_v some_o which_o they_o be_v bind_v to_o attend_v to_o and_o to_o join_v in_o and_o his_o make_v this_o a_o argument_n for_o service_n in_o a_o unknown_a tongue_n that_o there_o be_v many_o office_n which_o they_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o attend_v to_o and_o therefore_o not_o to_o understand_v for_o there_o must_v be_v the_o force_n of_o his_o argument_n if_o it_o have_v any_o suppose_v that_o they_o must_v understand_v what_o they_o must_v attend_v to_o and_o join_v in_o how_o then_o do_v this_o justify_v the_o latin_a service_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n for_o their_o whole_a service_n be_v in_o latin_a a_o unknown_a tongue_n and_o therefore_o according_a to_o his_o reason_n the_o people_n be_v not_o bind_v to_o attend_v to_o or_o join_v in_o any_o part_n of_o their_o worship_n because_o they_o understand_v none_o of_o it_o and_o be_v not_o that_o a_o pretty_a kind_n of_o public_a worship_n which_o no_o body_n be_v bind_v to_o attend_v to_o or_o join_v in_o not_o the_o priest_n himself_o when_o he_o do_v not_o understand_v latin_a which_o as_o they_o say_v too_o often_o happen_v in_o catholic_n country_n 3_o since_o our_o author_n say_v that_o there_o be_v only_o many_o not_o all_o divine_a office_n which_o the_o people_n be_v not_o bind_v to_o join_v in_o he_o will_v have_v do_v well_o to_o have_v give_v we_o some_o mark_n of_o distinction_n that_o we_o may_v have_v know_v what_o office_n people_n must_v join_v in_o and_o what_o not_o for_o i_o can_v for_o my_o life_n think_v of_o any_o act_n of_o public_a christian_a worship_n which_o all_o christian_n be_v not_o bind_v to_o join_v in_o i_o shall_v think_v it_o very_o convenient_a that_o all_o christian_n shall_v attend_v to_o and_o join_v in_o the_o holy_a sacrament_n when_o they_o be_v administer_v for_o if_o they_o must_v not_o bear_v their_o part_n there_o which_o must_v be_v their_o own_o act_n or_o it_o signify_v nothing_o it_o be_v a_o make_n and_o renew_v a_o solemn_a vow_n and_o covenant_n with_o god_n to_o be_v sure_a they_o can_v be_v concern_v in_o nothing_o else_o and_o therefore_o the_o office_n of_o baptism_n and_o the_o lord_n supper_n aught_o to_o be_v administer_v in_o the_o vulgar_a tongue_n that_o every_o body_n may_v understand_v they_o thus_o if_o man_n be_v bind_v to_o pray_v to_o god_n and_o to_o praise_v he_o sure_o they_o be_v bind_v to_o join_v in_o public_a prayer_n and_o praise_n and_o then_o according_a to_o this_o rule_n the_o public_a prayer_n and_o hymn_n of_o the_o church_n ought_v to_o be_v in_o the_o vulgar_a tongue_n and_o i_o can_v imagine_v a_o reason_n why_o the_o people_n ought_v not_o to_o attend_v to_o read_v the_o lesson_n the_o epistle_n and_o gospel_n for_o i_o know_v no_o other_o use_n of_o read_v they_o but_o that_o the_o people_n may_v hear_v and_o understand_v they_o and_o be_v edify_v by_o they_o and_o then_o they_o also_o shall_v be_v in_o the_o vulgar_a tongue_n in_o short_a there_o be_v nothing_o be_v a_o office_n of_o religion_n but_o what_o the_o people_n be_v concern_v in_o and_o therefore_o must_v attend_v to_o it_o and_o join_v in_o it_o unless_o it_o be_v not_o their_o duty_n to_o attend_v to_o and_o join_v in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o our_o author_n by_o insinuate_v this_o principle_n that_o people_n must_v understand_v what_o they_o be_v bind_v to_o attend_v to_o and_o join_v in_o which_o be_v so_o agreeable_a to_o common_a sense_n that_o he_o can_v not_o resist_v it_o have_v effectual_o overthrow_v and_o condemn_v the_o latin_a service_n unless_o he_o can_v prove_v that_o people_n be_v not_o concern_v to_o join_v in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n and_o then_o i_o desire_v to_o know_v why_o they_o must_v be_v present_a at_o it_o 4._o but_o suppose_v as_o he_o say_v that_o there_o be_v no_o necessity_n that_o all_o shall_v special_o join_v and_o attend_v to_o all_o religious_a office_n yet_o be_v it_o not_o better_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v it_o not_o more_o for_o the_o edification_n of_o the_o church_n and_o of_o every_o particular_a christian_a that_o they_o shall_v understand_v their_o prayer_n and_o all_o join_v in_o the_o same_o petition_n with_o the_o same_o devout_a affection_n than_o that_o they_o shall_v only_o gaze_v upon_o the_o priest_n and_o be_v not_o worshipper_n but_o mere_a spectator_n of_o religious_a worship_n now_o if_o it_o be_v better_a to_o understand_v our_o prayer_n than_o not_o to_o understand_v they_o to_o offer_v up_o a_o reasonable_a than_o unreasonable_a service_n to_o god_n if_o it_o be_v better_a to_o worship_n god_n than_o mere_o to_o see_v he_o worship_v then_o how_o can_v he_o justify_v service_n in_o a_o unknown_a tongue_n for_o when_o the_o apostle_n dispute_v against_o speak_v with_o unknown_a tongue_n the_o argument_n whereon_o he_o find_v the_o unlawfulness_n of_o it_o be_v that_o it_o be_v against_o edification_n and_o this_o argument_n must_v hold_v against_o latin_a service_n unless_o ignorance_n edify_v more_o than_o knowledge_n which_o i_o believe_v at_o this_o time_n of_o day_n our_o author_n will_v not_o care_v to_o say_v second_o his_o next_o answer_n be_v what_o i_o before_o take_v notice_n of_o that_o the_o people_n do_v understand_v their_o prayer_n though_o they_o be_v in_o latin_a the_o meaning_n of_o
