A51288	A brief discourse of the real presence of the body and blood of Christ in the celebration of the Holy Eucharist wherein the witty artifices of the Bishop of Meaux and of Monsieur Maimbourg are obviated, whereby they would draw in the Protestants to imbrace the doctrine of transubstantiation.	More, Henry, 1614-1687.; Wake, William, 1657-1737.	1686 (1686)	Wing M2643; ESTC R25165	52,861	96

in_o a_o salvable_a condition_n without_o this_o decision_n as_o mounseur_fw-fr maimbourg_n confess_v himself_o or_o that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n will_v assist_v such_o assembly_n as_o be_v worldly_a and_o carnal_o mind_v and_o be_v call_v to_o conclude_v for_o the_o worldly_a advantage_n and_o interest_n of_o a_o worldly_a polity_n who_o for_o the_o uphold_v and_o increase_v their_o temporal_a empire_n whereby_o they_o lord_n it_o over_o the_o world_n and_o ride_v on_o the_o neck_n of_o king_n and_o prince_n call_v themselves_o spiritual_a certain_o when_o all_o christian_a truth_n tend_v to_o real_a and_o indispensable_a holiness_n if_o mankind_n be_v not_o leave_v to_o the_o liberty_n of_o their_o own_o will_n but_o christ_n will_v have_v they_o so_o infallible_o wise_a he_o will_v all_o along_o have_v prepare_v they_o for_o it_o by_o make_v they_o unexceptionable_o holy_a that_o they_o may_v become_v wise_a in_o his_o own_o way_n and_o method_n 7._o and_o last_o there_o be_v prediction_n in_o daniel_n and_o the_o apocalpyse_v of_o a_o antichristian_a state_n in_o the_o church_n to_o come_v in_o which_o there_o will_v be_v such_o a_o general_a apostasy_n from_o the_o apostolic_a purity_n even_o according_a to_o their_o own_o interpreter_n i_o demand_v what_o assurance_n we_o have_v that_o these_o time_n come_v not_o in_o a_o very_a great_a measure_n upon_o the_o church_n some_o hundred_o of_o year_n before_o transubstantiation_n be_v conclude_v on_o by_o the_o roman_a church_n which_o therefore_o must_v much_o invalidate_v the_o pretence_n of_o the_o infallibility_n of_o any_o such_o council_n and_o our_o church_n of_o england_n as_o all_o know_v in_o her_o homily_n whether_o by_o inspiration_n or_o by_o mere_a solid_a reason_n and_o judgement_n refer_v the_o vision_n of_o the_o seventeen_o chapter_n of_o the_o apocalypse_n to_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n and_o i_o hope_v to_o any_o unprejudiced_a reader_n that_o have_v leisure_n to_o examine_v thing_n i_o have_v even_o demonstrative_o make_v out_o that_o truth_n in_o my_o exposition_n of_o the_o apocalypse_n and_o most_o punctual_o and_o distinct_o of_o all_o in_o my_o joint-exposition_n of_o the_o thirteen_o and_o seventeen_o chapter_n thereof_o synops._n prophet_n book_n 1._o chap._n 11_o 12_o 13_o etc._n etc._n with_o the_o preparatory_a chapter_n thereto_o let_v any_o one_o read_v they_o that_o please_v and_o in_o the_o due_a fear_n of_o god_n consider_v they_o wherefore_o to_o conclude_v touch_v this_o first_o prop_n of_o his_o general_a maxim_n whereby_o he_o will_v insinuate_v that_o synod_n to_o who_o definitive_a sentence_n he_o will_v have_v we_o to_o stand_v be_v assist_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n it_o do_v not_o only_o not_o underprop_v but_o undermine_v his_o grand_a maxim_n forasmuch_o as_o we_o have_v no_o assurance_n that_o those_o roman_a council_n which_o have_v conclude_v for_o transubstantiation_n be_v assist_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n but_o rather_o quite_o contrary_a 8._o the_o second_o prop_n be_v that_o whether_o a_o synod_n be_v or_o be_v not_o assist_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n we_o be_v to_o stand_v to_o their_o determination_n if_o the_o synod_n be_v not_o assist_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n than_o they_o be_v fallible_a and_o may_v be_v in_o the_o wrong_n so_o that_o the_o sense_n be_v whether_o the_o synod_n determine_v right_a or_o wrong_n yet_o we_o be_v to_o stand_v to_o their_o determination_n which_o as_o odd_o as_o it_o sound_v yet_o in_o some_o sober_a sense_n i_o must_v confess_v ingenuous_o for_o aught_o i_o know_v may_v be_v true_a that_o be_v in_o such_o thing_n as_o be_v real_o disputable_a and_o which_o for_o no_o sinister_a base_a design_n but_o mere_o for_o the_o peace_n of_o the_o church_n and_o her_o edification_n it_o have_v be_v think_v fit_a to_o make_v a_o synodical_a decision_n of_o the_o controversy_n but_o be_v this_o colour_n enough_o for_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n determination_n to_o be_v stand_v to_o of_o make_v the_o bread_n in_o the_o sacrament_n to_o be_v transubstantiate_v into_o the_o very_a body_n of_o christ_n that_o hang_v on_o the_o cross_n at_o jerusalem_n and_o have_v ever_o since_o his_o ascension_n be_v in_o heaven_n by_o the_o priest_n say_v over_o it_o this_o be_v my_o body_n the_o bread_n still_o remain_v bread_n to_o all_o outward_a appearance_n as_o before_o so_o that_o christ_n be_v fain_o to_o be_v at_o the_o expense_n of_o a_o perpetual_a miracle_n to_o make_v the_o transubstantiated_a bread_n look_v like_o bread_n still_o though_o it_o be_v real_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n that_o hang_v on_o the_o cross_n at_o jerusalem_n which_o as_o i_o have_v note_v above_o be_v against_o his_o wisdom_n and_o goodness_n in_o that_o if_o transubstantiation_n be_v a_o true_a article_n of_o the_o christian_a faith_n this_o be_v the_o most_o effectual_a way_n imaginable_a to_o make_v man_n if_o leave_v to_o their_o own_o free_a thought_n to_o mis-believe_a it_o however_o force_v and_o cruelty_n may_v constrain_v they_o to_o profess_v it_o and_o so_o it_o be_v against_o his_o goodness_n to_o expose_v so_o great_a a_o part_n of_o his_o church_n to_o such_o bloody_a persecution_n as_o this_o article_n have_v occasion_v in_o the_o christian_a world_n that_o christ_n shall_v do_v a_o perpetual_a miracle_n not_o that_o will_v confirm_v man_n faith_n but_o subvert_v it_o not_o to_o edify_v his_o church_n but_o distract_v it_o and_o lay_v all_o in_o confusion_n and_o blood_n let_v any_o one_o consider_v how_o likely_a this_o be_v to_o be_v this_o therefore_o can_v never_o be_v a_o point_n bonâ_fw-la fide_fw-la disputable_a but_o to_o such_o as_o be_v horrible_o hoodwink_v with_o prejudice_n and_o blind_v with_o a_o desire_n of_o have_v a_o thing_n conclude_v by_o the_o church_n which_o be_v of_o such_o unspeakable_a advantage_n as_o they_o then_o think_v for_o the_o magnify_v the_o priesthood_n though_o i_o believe_v nothing_o will_v turn_v more_o to_o their_o disrepute_n and_o shame_n in_o the_o conclusion_n now_o i_o dare_v appeal_n to_o mounseur_fw-fr maimbourg_n himself_o whether_o we_o be_v to_o stand_v to_o the_o determination_n of_o a_o fallible_a synod_n in_o a_o point_n that_o beside_o what_o i_o have_v already_o hint_v contradict_v all_o those_o common_a notion_n which_o i_o have_v above_o recite_v and_o in_o which_o all_o mankind_n be_v agree_v and_o such_o be_v this_o point_n of_o transubstantiation_n 9_o now_o for_o the_o three_o prop_n that_o whatever_o matter_n of_o opinion_n as_o they_o be_v for_o the_o present_a but_o such_o be_v decide_v by_o such_o a_o synod_n pass_v into_o article_n of_o faith_n this_o prop_n be_v also_o real_o a_o puller_n down_o of_o this_o general_a maxim_n for_o by_o a_o article_n of_o faith_n must_v be_v mean_v such_o a_o article_n as_o after_o the_o synodical_a decision_n be_v necessary_a to_o be_v believe_v by_o all_o party_n upon_o pain_n of_o damnation_n but_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v first_o no_o falsehood_n can_v be_v a_o article_n of_o faith_n nor_o can_v what_o be_v in_o itself_o false_a by_o all_o the_o declare_v in_o the_o world_n that_o it_o be_v true_a become_v true_a by_o the_o first_o common_a notion_n and_o second_o since_o the_o whole_a church_n before_o in_o which_o arise_v the_o controversy_n be_v in_o a_o salvable_a condition_n how_o unchristian_a a_o act_n must_v this_o be_v to_o put_v so_o many_o thousand_o soul_n in_o the_o state_n of_o damnation_n by_o so_o unnecessary_a nay_o mischievous_a a_o synodical_a decision_n and_o therefore_o what_o pretence_n can_v there_o be_v to_o the_o assistance_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n which_o christ_n have_v promise_v his_o church_n when_o they_o machinate_v that_o which_o so_o manifest_o tend_v according_a as_o the_o synod_n acknowledge_v to_o the_o damnation_n of_o such_o a_o multitude_n of_o soul_n which_o before_o the_o decision_n be_v in_o a_o salvable_a condition_n and_o also_o to_o most_o barbarous_a persecution_n of_o their_o person_n as_o it_o be_v notorious_o know_v in_o history_n touch_v transubstantiation_n 10._o the_o four_o prop_n charge_v those_o with_o the_o guilt_n of_o schism_n and_o heresy_n that_o will_v not_o close_o with_o the_o abovesaid_a synodical_a decision_n be_v they_o what_o they_o will_n in_o which_o matter_n we_o can_v judge_v whether_o the_o charge_n be_v right_a unless_o we_o first_o understand_v what_o be_v true_o and_o proper_o heresy_n and_o schism_n the_o former_a whereof_o i_o demand_v what_o it_o can_v be_v but_o a_o dissent_n from_o the_o catholic_n church_n even_o in_o those_o thing_n in_o it_o that_o be_v apostolical_a for_o whatever_o national_a church_n
