heaven_n yet_o be_v thou_o still_o real_o on_o earth_n nor_o be_v any_o part_n of_o thou_o that_o be_v either_o thy_o mind_n or_o body_n real_o in_o heaven_n there_o to_o receive_v nourishment_n

we_o you_o bring_v only_o doubtful_a argument_n and_o such_o as_o will_v be_v turn_v upon_o yourselves_o nor_o will_v it_o be_v any_o great_a labour_n brief_o to_o solve_v they_o all_o the_o

proceed_v sectary_n and_o by_o the_o same_o argument_n more_o close_o press_v we_o in_o this_o manner_n the_o catholic_n in_o their_o discourse_n and_o prayer_n frequent_o call_v the_o eucharist_n

why_o will_v you_o rather_o make_v the_o scripture_n when_o they_o mention_v the_o eucharist_n by_o the_o name_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n to_o assert_v true_a bread_n and_o wine_n to_o be_v therein_o than_o we_o catholic_n when_o we_o call_v it_o by_o the_o same_o name_n give_v i_o leave_v therefore_o thus_o to_o retort_v this_o argument_n upon_o you_o in_o the_o catholic_n church_n we_o often_o term_v the_o eucharist_n bread_n and_o wine_n and_o yet_o believe_v not_o any_o substance_n of_o bread_n or_o wine_n to_o be_v therein_o therefore_o it_o can_v from_o the_o scripture_n use_v the_o

thou_o be_v not_o more_o just_o overthrow_v by_o the_o same_o argument_n with_o which_o thou_o assaulted'_v we_o for_o that_o we_o often_o style_v this_o sacrament_n bread_n and_o wine_n be_v so_o

the_o eat_v but_o the_o effect_n of_o this_o bread_n may_v be_v grant_v we_o how_o often_o do_v we_o beg_v of_o god_n the_o father_n that_o this_o bread_n may_v be_v to_o we_o not_o a_o pledge_n of_o death_n but_o of_o glory_n and_o all_o this_o by_o similitude_n and_o figure_n which_o kind_n of_o speech_n you_o yourselves_o also_o do_v not_o deny_v to_o be_v frequent_a in_o holy_a writ_n so_o st._n bernard_n who_o none_o can_v without_o blush_v deny_v to_o be_v we_o call_v the_o eucharist_n bread_n when_o in_o his_o first_o sermon_n on_o the_o six_o sunday_n after_o pentecost_n

my_o flesh_n for_o the_o life_n of_o the_o world._n we_o therefore_o with_o the_o scripture_n call_v this_o sacrament_n bread_n both_o because_o as_o the_o natural_a man_n live_v by_o bread_n so_o do_v the_o spiritual_a man_n by_o the_o eucharist_n
to_o signify_v which_o christ_n command_v it_o to_o be_v make_v of_o bread_n and_o wine_n and_o many_o of_o the_o father_n by_o our_o daily_a supersubstantial_a bread_n which_o we_o be_v teach_v to_o pray_v for_o understand_v this_o heavenly_a food_n and_o also_o because_o it_o be_v in_o the_o form_n of_o bread_n but_o principal_o because_o it_o be_v bread_n before_o for_o we_o often_o call_v a_o thing_n that_o now_o be_v by_o the_o name_n it_o former_o have_v and_o how_o often_o have_v you_o hear_v from_o our_o writer_n the_o example_n of_o aaron_n rod_n which_o be_v turn_v into_o a_o

which_o be_v turn_v into_o serpent_n but_o aaron_n be_v rod_n devour_v their_o rod_n exod._n chap._n seven_o but_o not_o to_o say_v much_o against_o so_o weak_a a_o argument_n the_o scripture_n call_v the_o eucharist_n bread_n be_v it_o so_o the_o ancient_a father_n have_v often_o do_v the_o same_o and_o we_o also_o do_v the_o same_o why_o then_o may_v we_o not_o be_v believe_v to_o think_v with_o those_o with_o who_o we_o speak_v nor_o be_v the_o arrow_n of_o any_o great_a force_n they_o shoot_v against_o we_o from_o these_o word_n of_o our_o lord_n it_o be_v the_o spirit_n which_o quicken_v the_o flesh_n profit_v nothing_o for_o if_o they_o will_v have_v they_o simple_o understand_v that_o the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n profit_v nothing_o i_o will_v ask_v they_o why_o they_o then_o say_v that_o our_o lord_n body_n be_v receive_v by_o they_o in_o the_o eucharist_n nay_o why_o christ_n say_v unless_o you_o shall_v eat_v the_o flesh_n of_o the_o son_n of_o man_n and_o drink_v his_o blood_n you_o shall_v not_o have_v life_n in_o you_o do_v they_o think_v that_o christ_n contradict_v himself_o or_o will_v they_o deny_v it_o to_o have_v be_v always_o believe_v in_o the_o church_n that_o christ_n flesh_n profit_v the_o receiver_n they_o must_v ever_o be_v fain_o to_o distinguish_v between_o the_o manner_n how_o our_o lord_n flesh_n be_v receive_v profit_n and_o how_o it_o profit_v not_o they_o must_v to_o wit_n acknowledge_v that_o the_o capharnait_v hear_v christ_n word_n fancy_v to_o themselves_o some_o gross_a unworthy_a and_o carnal_a manner_n in_o which_o he_o will_v affirm_v he_o shall_v be_v eat_v my_o flesh_n so_o take_v as_o you_o in_o yourselves_o imagine_v profit_v not_o i_o will_v give_v myself_o in_o a_o more_o noble_a and_o spiritual_a manner_n than_o you_o believe_v and_o be_v by_o you_o take_v for_o food_n will_v quicken_v your_o soul_n and_o thus_o of_o the_o manner_n of_o take_v and_o not_o mere_o of_o the_o take_n itself_o do_v christ_n say_v the_o flesh_n profit_v nothing_o let_v we_o now_o see_v the_o force_n of_o your_o argument_n christ_n say_v his_o flesh_n take_v as_o the_o capharnait_v fancy_v will_v profit_v nothing_o therefore_o say_v you_o it_o will_v not_o profit_v be_v take_v in_o such_o manner_n as_o the_o catholic_n believe_v but_o thou_o must_v first_o o_o sectary_n prove_v that_o we_o think_v as_o the_o capharnait_n do_v and_o that_o we_o will_v not_o hear_v the_o spirit_n which_o quicken_v now_o both_o these_o be_v false_a the_o capharnait_n as_o be_v manifest_a from_o the_o scripture_n have_v no_o high_a conceit_n of_o our_o saviour_n word_n than_o that_o he_o promise_v his_o body_n shall_v be_v eat_v as_o other_o meat_n that_o it_o shall_v be_v divide_v into_o part_n taste_v like_o flesh_n and_o be_v take_v consume_v we_o in_o a_o spiritual_a quicken_a sense_n believe_v that_o christ_n be_v indeed_o true_o and_o real_o present_a in_o the_o eucharist_n but_o after_o a_o spiritual_a and_o incomprehensible_a manner_n that_o he_o be_v receive_v by_o we_o whole_a inviolate_a and_o never_o consume_a thus_o will_v there_o be_v a_o mutual_a agreement_n between_o those_o word_n of_o our_o lord_n by_o which_o he_o assert_n that_o his_o flesh_n be_v true_o give_v for_o meat_n and_o those_o other_o by_o which_o he_o show_v that_o if_o you_o understand_v this_o matter_n carnal_o with_o the_o capharnait_n the_o flesh_n profit_v nothing_o now_o if_o you_o deny_v that_o the_o flesh_n of_o our_o lord_n be_v any_o way_n profitable_a you_o will_v contradict_v those_o word_n unless_o you_o shall_v eat_v the_o flesh_n of_o the_o son_n of_o man_n you_o shall_v not_o have_v life_n in_o you_o but_o if_o you_o say_v that_o it_o be_v in_o some_o manner_n but_o not_o in_o that_o capharnaitical_a one_o both_o receive_v and_o profitable_a this_o indeed_o we_o shall_v ready_o grant_v but_o shall_v withal_o add_v that_o this_o holy_a manner_n be_v in_o our_o church_n and_o that_o neither_o these_o text_n nor_o any_o other_o have_v any_o thing_n to_o the_o contrary_n you_o say_v last_o that_o the_o scripture_n often_o affirm_v that_o christ_n be_v and_o shall_v be_v in_o
