prevent_v all_o scandal_n they_o have_v conclude_v by_o this_o regulation_n that_o both_o kind_n be_v not_o essential_a to_o the_o communion_n by_o the_o institution_n of_o christ_n for_o otherwise_o

his_o blood_n in_o their_o own_o kind_n it_o be_v fit_a and_o convenient_a to_o exhibit_v they_o unto_o we_o cover_v under_o a_o other_o species_n but_o if_o these_o consideration_n do_v oblige_v he_o to_o ordain_v our_o eat_v the_o flesh_n of_o our_o offer_v in_o a_o different_a manner_n from_o that_o of_o the_o jew_n yet_o he_o ought_v not_o in_o that_o respect_n to_o deprive_v we_o of_o the_o

themselves_o desire_v we_o shall_v be_v persuade_v they_o have_v the_o same_o belief_n as_o we_o profess_v since_o they_o do_v continual_o press_v &_o urge_v to_o we_o their_o not_o deny_v the_o true_a and_o real_a participation_n of_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o eucharist_n which_o pretence_n of_o they_o we_o will_v examine_v in_o the_o sequent_a discourse_n where_o we_o conceive_v it_o will_v be_v proper_a to_o expose_v their_o sentiment_n after_o have_v full_o explicate_v the_o belief_n of_o the_o church_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n we_o may_v conclude_v that_o if_o the_o fair_a and_o natural_a signification_n of_o the_o word_n use_v by_o the_o son_n of_o god_n compel_v they_o to_o grant_v that_o his_o express_a intention_n be_v to_o give_v real_o his_o

say_v nothing_o in_o this_o point_n to_o explain_v himself_o further_o seem_v clear_o to_o have_v leave_v these_o word_n in_o their_o natural_a signification_n i_o know_v that_o our_o adversary_n pretend_v that_o the_o matter_n itself_o explain_v sufficient_o the_o meaning_n because_o say_v they_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o what_o he_o expose_v be_v but_o bread_n and_o wine_n but_o the_o cloud_n of_o this_o argument_n vanish_v when_o we_o reflect_v that_o he_o who_o speak_v be_v of_o a_o authority_n which_o ought_v to_o over-rule_v our_o sense_n &_o have_v a_o omnipotence_n transcend_v all_o nature_n it_o be_v no_o hard_a for_o the_o son_n of_o god_n to_o effect_v his_o body_n presence_n in_o the_o eucharist_n say_v this_o be_v my_o body_n then_o to_o cure_v a_o woman_n of_o her_o

it_o be_v much_o easy_a for_o the_o son_n of_o god_n to_o force_v the_o law_n of_o nature_n to_o verify_v his_o word_n than_o it_o be_v for_o we_o to_o conform_v our_o understand_n unto_o such_o
