that_o no_o necessity_n urge_v we_o to_o believe_v christ_n real_a presence_n in_o the_o sacrament_n neither_o for_o the_o effect_n that_o he_o promise_v by_o it_o not_o for_o the_o verify_n of_o his_o word_n see_v our_o saviour_n say_v in_o the_o same_o tenor_n i_o be_o the_o true_a vine_n without_o any_o alteration_n in_o the_o vine_n or_o his_o person_n not_o for_o the_o effect_n of_o the_o

element_n as_o in_o the_o water_n of_o baptism_n he_o afford_v the_o sovereign_a grace_n of_o spiritual_a regeneration_n in_o the_o substance_n of_o water_n i_o answer_v its_o necessary_a for_o the_o

to_o be_v indifferent_a to_o bear_v two_o sense_n figurative_a and_o real_a this_o be_v evident_a that_o when_o a_o word_n bear_v a_o equivocal_a signification_n be_v put_v in_o a_o proposition_n it_o be_v determine_v to_o signify_v that_o of_o which_o only_o and_o of_o no_o other_o the_o predicat_fw-la can_v be_v verify_v as_o this_o word_n man_n may_v signify_v a_o true_a or_o paint_a man_n in_o this_o proposition_n man_n be_v a_o rational_a live_a creature_n it_o be_v determine_v to_o signify_v a_o true_a man_n because_o the_o predicat_fw-la rational_a live_a creature_n can_v be_v verify_v only_o of_o he_o and_o not_o of_o a_o paint_a man_n so_o the_o word_n body_n that_o may_v signify_v a_o true_a or_o figurative_a one_o in_o the_o institution_n of_o the_o sacrament_n this_o be_v my_o body_n which_o be_v give_v for_o you_o it_o be_v determine_v to_o signify_v christ_n his_o true_a body_n because_o of_o it_o only_o and_o not_o of_o a_o figure_n it_o can_v be_v verify_v which_o be_v give_v for_o you_o if_o you_o observe_v this_o principle_n you_o will_v clear_o answer_v any_o text_n that_o may_v be_v allege_v against_o this_o mystery_n as_o to_o the_o instance_n of_o vine_n and_o such_o like_a mystical_a expression_n speak_v of_o christ_n put_v they_o in_o a_o proposition_n with_o the_o word_n christ_n and_o they_o will_v be_v determine_v to_o a_o figurative_a or_o mystical_a signification_n because_o that_o christ_n that_o die_v for_o we_o can_v be_v say_v of_o a_o vine_n or_o rock_n in_o their_o proper_a signification_n now_o to_o the_o second_o part_n of_o his_o argument_n that_o god_n may_v have_v he_o be_v please_v have_v redeem_v we_o with_o out_o any_o real_a incarnation_n of_o the_o second_o person_n or_o real_a passion_n of_o christ_n upon_o the_o cross_n it_o be_v out_o of_o controversy_n for_o his_o infinite_a wysdom_n and_o power_n want_v not_o other_o mean_n for_o to_o redeem_v we_o be_v it_o therefore_o we_o must_v say_v with_o the_o

the_o effect_n and_o grace_n that_o he_o convey_v unto_o we_o by_o a_o real_a incarnation_n and_o passion_n the_o spiritual_a regeneration_n confer_v on_o we_o in_o baptism_n by_o water_n he_o may_v have_v confer_v it_o on_o we_o by_o wine_n or_o rose_n water_n be_v it_o therefore_o we_o must_v say_v that_o true_a natural_a water_n be_v not_o necessary_a for_o baptism_n but_o say_v you_o the_o text_n do_v distinct_o express_v water_n yea_o and_o the_o text_n in_o the_o institution_n of_o the_o eucharist_n do_v distinct_o express_v body_n and_o as_o the_o text_n do_v not_o add_v true_a and_o real_a body_n so_o it_o do_v not_o add_v true_a and_o natural_a water_n by_o what_o rule_n must_v water_n in_o the_o text_n sygnify_v natural_a water_n and_o the_o word_n body_n must_v not_o sygnify_v a_o real_a body_n thus_o far_o we_o agree_v that_o christ_n may_v be_v he_o please_v have_v give_v we_o the_o effect_n of_o the_o sacrament_n by_o a_o figurative_a presence_n only_o also_o that_o he_o may_v have_v confer_v they_o upon_o we_o by_o the_o real_a presence_n of_o his_o body_n for_o there_o be_v no_o impossibility_n in_o that_o he_o shall_v have_v givenus_n his_o real_a body_n under_o the_o accident_n of_o bread_n the_o question_n be_v what_o be_v it_o that_o he_o have_v effectual_o do_v and_o which_o of_o the_o two_o have_v he_o give_v the_o figure_n of_o his_o body_n or_o his_o real_a body_n i_o say_v that_o his_o real_a body_n for_o that_o be_v requisite_a for_o the_o verify_n of_o his_o word_n in_o the_o institution_n of_o the_o sacrament_n but_o why_o do_v s._n paul_n call_v it_o bread_n so_o often_o even_o after_o the_o consecration_n as_o 1._o cor._n 11.13_o as_o often_o as_o you_o eat_v this_o bread_n whoever_o shall_v eat_v this_o bread_n he_o take_v bread_n
