but_o produce_v this_o text_n for_o themselves_o against_o our_o usage_n and_o doctrine_n say_v that_o if_o our_o lord_n have_v not_o treat_v of_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n in_o these_o word_n he_o will_v not_o have_v distinguish_v between_o eat_v and_o drink_v least_o of_o all_o between_o eat_v the_o flesh_n and_o drink_v the_o blood_n but_o since_o he_o so_o accurate_o distinguish_v between_o these_o thing_n he_o insinuate_v his_o discourse_n to_o be_v concern_v the_o reception_n of_o the_o eucharist_n etc._n etc._n but_o say_v the_o cardinal_n these_o thing_n be_v easy_o throw_v off_o by_o observe_v that_o in_o this_o very_a chapter_n jesus_n say_v not_o long_o before_o he_o that_o come_v to_o i_o shall_v never_o hunger_n and_o he_o that_o believe_v in_o i_o shall_v never_o thirst_v for_o in_o these_o word_n which_o it_o be_v plain_a do_v not_o belong_v to_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o eucharist_n our_o lord_n plain_o distinguish_v hunger_n from_o thirst_n which_o be_v equivalent_a to_o his_o distinction_n between_o eat_v and_o drink_v for_o hunger_n refer_v to_o eat_v and_o thirst_v to_o drink_v therefore_o from_o the_o distinction_n between_o eat_v and_o drink_v no_o solid_a argument_n can_v be_v draw_v to_o infer_v the_o discourse_n to_o be_v of_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o eucharist_n in_o like_a manner_n the_o distinction_n between_o flesh_n and_o blood_n avail_v nothing_o to_o their_o purpose_n but_o rather_o against_o they_o because_o the_o flesh_n be_v not_o distinguish_v from_o the_o blood_n after_o any_o sort_n but_o only_o as_o they_o be_v separate_v as_o meat_n from_o drink_n but_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o real_a separation_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o sacrament_n be_v represent_v only_o but_o in_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n it_o be_v actual_a and_o according_a to_o the_o thing_n itself_o and_o if_o it_o be_v urge_v that_o the_o flesh_n and_o the_o blood_n be_v here_o discourse_v of_o under_o the_o notion_n of_o meat_n and_o drink_n and_o not_o according_a to_o what_o they_o be_v in_o their_o own_o nature_n and_o that_o for_o this_o reason_n the_o discourse_n run_v upon_o the_o flesh_n in_o the_o sacrament_n and_o the_o blood_n in_o the_o sacrament_n separate_v one_o from_o another_o the_o answer_n to_o this_o be_v afford_v by_o what_o have_v be_v already_o say_v

in_o this_o matter_n i_o do_v not_o so_o much_o as_o entrench_v upon_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n itself_o indeed_o that_o council_n will_v have_v i_o to_o believe_v that_o

the_o eucharist_n i_o ought_v to_o be_v excuse_v too_o if_o i_o can_v by_o no_o mean_n believe_v it_o or_o else_o those_o father_n must_v be_v condemn_v who_o believe_v the_o capernaite_n to_o be_v a_o perverse_a sort_n of_o man_n for_o turn_v our_o saviour_n word_n in_o this_o chapter_n to_o so_o inhuman_a and_o absurd_a a_o sense_n as_o if_o he_o have_v exhort_v they_o to_o eat_v a_o man_n
