heavenly_a effect_n which_o christ_n promise_n there_o import_v in_o the_o soul_n of_o such_o as_o worthy_o receive_v it_o and_o such_o centrary_o as_o come_v unworthy_o thereunto_o receive_v death_n

understand_v at_o all_o of_o sacramental_a manducation_n i_o answer_v that_o their_o number_n be_v not_o great_a and_o their_o authority_n of_o no_o weight_n at_o all_o against_o a_o numberless_a multitude_n of_o ancient_a father_n and_o modern_a doctor_n of_o better_a note_n contrary_o understand_v they_o yield_v better_a reason_n for_o that_o their_o literal_a true_a explication_n and_o easy_o solue_v all_o heretical_a objection_n gather_v from_o the_o literal_a sense_n of_o our_o saviour_n word_n in_o that_o chapter_n against_o our_o communion_n under_o one_o kind_a and_o other_o point_n of_o catholic_a doctrine_n and_o sithence_o my_o aduersaerie_n will_v not_o stick_v to_o contemn_v these_o very_a author_n in_o their_o other_o know_a catholic_a doctrine_n why_o do_v he_o so_o high_o value_v and_o main_o urge_v they_o in_o this_o opinion_n wherein_o without_o any_o heretical_a intention_n or_o obstinacy_n of_o judgement_n they_o differ_v from_o we_o §_o 6._o at_o

on_o christ_n as_o be_v there_o speak_v of_o but_o many_o be_v save_v that_o never_o feed_v on_o christ_n in_o the_o eucharist_n as_o the_o father_n before_o christ_n the_o child_n of_o the_o

ancient_n in_o the_o manna_n understand_v believe_v and_o taste_v christ_n himself_o and_o be_v thereby_o save_v and_o this_o no_o papist_n i_o suppose_v will_v be_v so_o absurd_a as_o to_o deny_v but_o this_o be_v but_o a_o bymatter_n no_o part_n of_o the_o main_a argument_n and_o therefore_o i_o forbear_v here_o to_o insist_v further_o on_o it_o 2._o that_o be_v as_o impossible_a for_o
