false_o that_o ratram_n intend_v to_o dispute_v against_o the_o real_a presence_n yet_o since_o he_o treat_v his_o adversary_n as_o catholic_n and_o call_v they_o the_o faithful_a the_o question_n in_o dispute_n must_v necessary_o have_v be_v some_o opinion_n of_o less_o moment_n than_o the_o real_a presence_n the_o belief_n thereof_o or_o of_o the_o contrary_a can_v never_o have_v be_v hold_v

deny_v this_o consequence_n viz._n ratram_n do_v not_o call_v his_o adversary_n heretic_n but_o treat_v they_o as_o brethren_n therefore_o he_o do_v not_o write_v against_o the_o real_a presence_n all_o that_o can_v be_v conclude_v thence_o be_v that_o the_o adversary_n of_o that_o doctrine_n be_v then_o as_o they_o still_o be_v person_n of_o a_o more_o charitable_a and_o meek_a spirit_n than_o those_o who_o maintain_v and_o propagate_v it_o there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o difference_n between_o heresy_n and_o some_o gross_a error_n who_o patron_n do_v not_o desert_v the_o communion_n of_o the_o church_n and_o therefore_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v that_o because_o ratram_n treat_v these_o err_v brethren_n as_o catholic_n and_o include_v they_o with_o their_o adversary_n in_o the_o common_a notion_n of_o faithful_a he_o must_v needs_o esteem_v the_o question_n in_o dispute_n of_o so_o little_a moment_n that_o it_o be_v indifferent_a which_o way_n it_o be_v hold_v it_o be_v
