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 serpent_n be_v certain_o no_o long_o a_o rod_n unless_o you_o will_v say_v that_o god_n rather_o put_v a_o illusion_n on_o pharaoh_n eye_n than_o by_o a_o real_a miracle_n admonish_v he_o of_o his_o majesty_n and_o yet_o even_o than_o it_o be_v call_v a_o rod_n to_o wit_n because_o it_o have_v from_o a_o rod_n be_v change_v into_o a_o serpent_n and_o they_o all_o cast_v down_o their_o rod_n 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 heaven_n till_o he_o shall_v come_v in_o great_a majesty_n at_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n and_o that_o therefore_o he_o can_v be_v on_o earth_n in_o the_o eucharist_n in_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o priest_n the_o answer_n be_v ready_a christ_n be_v and_o shall_v be_v in_o heaven_n in_o that_o great_a and_o visible_a majesty_n till_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world._n he_o be_v not_o see_v public_o by_o we_o in_o that_o brightness_n nor_o be_v he_o yet_o so_o much_o as_o conversant_a among_o we_o to_o receive_v those_o office_n which_o may_v be_v indeed_o profitable_a to_o a_o body_n such_o as_o st._n mary_n magdalen_n perform_v when_o she_o anoint_v he_o and_o in_o respect_n of_o which_o our_o saviour_n say_v the_o poor_a you_o have_v always_o with_o you_o but_o i_o you_o have_v not_o always_o he_o will_v not_o therefore_o come_v down_o from_o heaven_n in_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o majesty_n till_o the_o call_n of_o all_o man_n to_o judgement_n but_o he_o be_v often_o present_a at_o our_o affair_n in_o another_o manner_n after_o another_o fashion_n with_o lesser_a state_n he_o be_v i_o say_v often_o true_o and_o real_o present_a with_o we_o here_o on_o earth_n he_o appear_v in_o the_o way_n to_o st._n paul_n as_o he_o be_v go_v to_o damascus_n and_o speak_v to_o he_o in_o the_o way_n so_o say_v ananias_n to_o st._n paul_n act._n ix_o our_o lord_n jesus_n have_v send_v i_o who_o appear_v to_o thou_o in_o the_o way_n as_o thou_o come_v and_o barnabas_n declare_v to_o the_o apostle_n how_o paul_n have_v see_v our_o lord_n in_o the_o way_n and_o that_o he_o have_v speak_v to_o he_o and_o act_n xxxiii_o now_o the_o night_n follow_v our_o lord_n stand_v by_o he_o say_v be_v constant_a for_o as_o thou_o have_v testify_v of_o i_o in_o jerusalem_n so_o must_v thou_o testify_v at_o rome_n also_o and_o last_o act._n xxvi_o i_o be_o jesus_n who_o thou_o persecute_v but_o arise_v and_o stand_v upon_o thy_o foot_n for_o to_o this_o end_n have_v i_o appear_v to_o thou_o that_o i_o may_v ordain_v thou_o a_o minister_n and_o witness_v of_o those_o thing_n which_o thou_o have_v see_v and_o of_o those_o thing_n in_o which_o i_o will_v appear_v to_o thou_o and_o say_v not_o that_o it_o be_v a_o angel_n who_o have_v take_v christ_n shape_n appear_v to_o st._n paul._n for_o to_o let_v pass_v its_o be_v distinguish_v in_o the_o act_n of_o the_o apostle_n when_o our_o saviour_n or_o when_o a_o angel_n appear_v to_o st._n paul_n he_o himself_o have_v in_o his_o first_o epistle_n to_o the_o corinthian_n chap._n xv_o take_v away_o the_o doubt_n where_o after_o he_o have_v to_o prove_v christ_n resurrection_n to_o they_o affirm_v he_o to_o have_v be_v see_v after_o his_o rise_n again_o by_o his_o apostle_n and_o disciple_n he_o add_v and_o last_o of_o all_o he_o be_v see_v of_o i_o also_o as_o of_o a_o abortive_a now_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o this_o his_o be_v see_v of_o st._n paul_n be_v not_o till_o some_o year_n after_o the_o day_n of_o his_o
