desire_n by_o a_o special_a revelation_n or_o be_v it_o that_o god_n reveil_v to_o they_o that_o secret_a in_o his_o divine_a essence_n wherein_o all_o truth_n be_v comprehend_v so_o that_o the_o church_n upon_o these_o different_a manner_n have_v not_o determine_v by_o which_o of_o they_o god_n be_v please_v to_o make_v this_o communication_n to_o his_o saint_n but_o by_o what_o mean_v soever_o this_o knowledge_n be_v impart_v it_o be_v very_o certain_a that_o it_o be_v far_o from_o ascribe_v to_o the_o creature_n any_o of_o the_o divine_a perfection_n as_o the_o idolater_n do_v since_o it_o do_v not_o permit_v our_o attribute_v even_o to_o the_o great_a saint_n any_o degree_n of_o excellence_n which_o be_v not_o derive_v from_o god_n nor_o acceptablenesse_n in_o his_o eye_n but_o as_o derive_v from_o their_o virtue_n nor_o any_o virtue_n but_o what_o be_v the_o free_a gift_n of_o grace_n nor_o any_o information_n of_o humane_a passage_n but_o such_o as_o god_n be_v please_v to_o communicate_v nor_o any_o capacity_n to_o assist_v we_o but_o only_o by_o their_o prayer_n nor_o in_o fine_a any_o felicity_n but_o by_o a_o perfect_a submission_n and_o conformity_n to_o the_o divine_a pleasure_n it_o be_v therefore_o most_o certain_a that_o upon_o penetration_n into_o our_o interior_a sentiment_n direct_v to_o the_o saint_n it_o will_v be_v evident_a that_o we_o do_v not_o raise_v they_o above_o the_o condition_n of_o creature_n and_o from_o this_o ground_n one_o ought_v to_o be_v possess_v of_o the_o true_a nature_n of_o that_o honour_n and_o reverence_n which_o be_v intend_v by_o our_o exterior_a demonstration_n the_o apparent_a religious_a office_n be_v appoint_v to_o testify_v the_o interior_a sentiment_n of_o our_o mind_n but_o by_o reason_n that_o the_o honour_n which_o the_o church_n offer_v to_o saint_n appear_v most_o notorious_o before_o their_o image_n and_o their_o holy_a relic_n it_o be_v requisite_a to_o explain_v the_o church_n sincere_a doctrine_n in_o this_o religious_a act._n in_o point_n of_o image_n the_o council_n of_o trent_n forbid_v relic_n express_o to_o believe_v any_o divinity_n etc._n or_o power_n in_o they_o for_o which_o we_o ought_v to_o reverence_v they_o or_o to_o sue_v for_o any_o favour_n or_o to_o place_v any_o confidence_n in_o they_o and_o ordain_v that_o all_o the_o honour_n shall_v relate_v to_o the_o original_n they_o represent_v all_o these_o word_n of_o the_o council_n be_v so_o many_o character_n which_o serve_v to_o distinguish_v we_o from_o idolater_n since_o we_o be_v so_o far_o from_o believe_v with_o they_o any_o divinity_n reside_v in_o the_o image_n as_o we_o attribute_v no_o virtue_n to_o they_o but_o this_o of_o exciting_a in_o we_o the_o remembrance_n of_o their_o original_n upon_o this_o it_o be_v that_o the_o honour_n we_o render_v to_o image_n be_v ground_v for_o example_n can_v one_o deny_v that_o the_o figure_n of_o jesus-christ_n crucify_v when_o we_o behold_v it_o do_v not_o excite_v a_o more_o lively_a remembrance_n of_o he_o who_o love_v we_o so_o as_o to_o deliver_v himself_o up_o to_o death_n for_o we_o 2._o as_o long_o as_o the_o present_a image_n possess_v our_o eye_n entertain_v so_o precious_a a_o notion_n in_o our_o mind_n we_o be_v move_v to_o express_v by_o some_o exterior_a mark_n the_o fervour_n and_o extent_n of_o our_o gratitude_n and_o we_o declare_v by_o our_o humiliation_n before_o the_o image_n how_o profound_a our_o submission_n be_v respective_a to_o the_o original_a wherefore_o speak_v strict_o according_a to_o the_o style_n of_o the_o church_n when_o we_o render_v any_o honour_n to_o the_o image_n of_o a_o apostle_n or_o martyr_n our_o aim_n be_v not_o so_o much_o to_o honour_v the_o image_n as_o the_o apostle_n or_o martyr_n in_o presence_n of_o the_o image_n to_o this_o purpose_n the_o roman_a pontifical_a declare_v imag._n and_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n express_v the_o same_o intent_n when_o it_o say_v that_o the_o honour_n we_o render_v to_o image_n etc._n be_v so_o refer_v to_o the_o original_n that_o by_o the_o mean_n of_o the_o image_n we_o kiss_v and_o before_o which_o we_o kneel_v we_o adore_v christ_n jesus_n and_o honour_v those_o saint_n which_o they_o represent_v to_o us._n in_o fine_a we_o clear_o discern_v in_o what_o spirit_n the_o church_n honour_v image_n by_o the_o honour_n it_o render_v the_o holy_a cross_n or_o the_o book_n of_o the_o gospel_n all_o the_o world_n see_v clear_o that_o before_o the_o cross_a the_o church_n adore_v he_o who_o do_v bear_v our_o have_v upon_o that_o wood_n 2._o and_o that_o when_o her_o child_n bow_v their_o head_n before_o the_o book_n of_o the_o gospel_n when_o they_o stand_v up_o in_o respect_n at_o their_o pass_v by_o

little_a equity_n in_o call_v idolatry_n that_o religious_a sentiment_n which_o move_v we_o to_o uncover_v and_o bow_v our_o head_n before_o the_o image_n of_o the_o cross_n in_o reflection_n upon_o he_o who_o be_v crucyfy_v for_o our_o sake_n and_o one_o must_v be_v stark_o blind_a not_o to_o discern_v the_o extreme_a difference_n between_o those_o who_o confide_v in_o idol_n upon_o this_o

author_n of_o all_o grace_n and_o sanctification_n under_o the_o same_o notion_n the_o honour_n we_o pay_v to_o relic_n be_v to_o be_v apprehend_v follow_v the_o step_n of_o the_o primitive_a age_n and_o if_o our_o adversary_n do_v reflect_v that_o we_o consider_v the_o body_n of_o saint_n as_o have_v be_v victimes_o to_o god_n either_o by_o martyrdom_n or_o penance_n they_o will_v not_o

that_o if_o they_o will_v comprehend_v in_o what_o manner_n the_o affection_n we_o bear_v to_o some_o one_o body_n extend_v without_o divide_v itself_o to_o his_o child_n to_o his_o friend_n and_o

that_o our_o honour_v make_v such_o a_o progress_n since_o in_o effect_v our_o honour_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o love_n mix_v with_o fear_n and_o respect_n in_o fine_a if_o they_o do_v comprehend_v that_o all_o the_o exterior_a worship_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n rise_v and_o spring_v in_o god_n himself_o and_o that_o it_o revert_v thither_o they_o will_v never_o suspect_v that_o those_o religious_a act_n which_o god_n alone_o do_v animate_v can_v provoke_v his_o jealousy_n they_o will_v perceive_v the_o quite_o contrary_a and_o find_v that_o if_o god_n as_o jealous_a as_o he_o be_v of_o the_o love_n of_o man_n do_v not_o account_v that_o we_o divide_v between_o he_o and_o the_o creature_n when_o we_o love_v our_o neighbour_n for_o his_o sake_n the_o same_o god_n as_o jealous_a as_o he_o be_v of_o the_o duty_n of_o his_o servant_n do_v not_o conceive_v they_o to_o share_v or_o part_v the_o worship_n which_o they_o owe_v to_o he_o alone_o when_o from_o the_o motive_n of_o the_o duty_n they_o owe_v he_o they_o honour_v those_o who_o have_v be_v honour_v by_o himself_o yet_o true_a it_o be_v that_o as_o the_o sensible_a mark_n of_o reverence_n be_v not_o all_o of_o absolute_a necessity_n the_o church_n without_o any_o alteration_n in_o the_o doctrine_n may_v have_v extend_v more_o or_o less_o those_o exterior_a practice_n suit_v to_o the_o diversity_n of_o time_n place_n and_o other_o occurrency_n not_o intend_v that_o her_o child_n shall_v be_v servile_o subject_v to_o visible_a matter_n but_o only_o that_o they_o may_v be_v excite_v and_o as_o it_o be_v advertise_v by_o their_o mean_n to_o apply_v themselves_o to_o god_n to_o offer_v he_o in_o spirit_n and_o truth_n that_o reasonable_a and_o due_a service_n he_o expect_v from_o his_o creature_n it_o may_v easy_o be_v discern_v by_o this_o doctrine_n with_o how_o much_o truth_n i_o have_v assert_v that_o a_o great_a part_n of_o our_o controversy_n will_v vanish_v by_o a_o only_a right_a understanding_n of_o term_n if_o these_o be_v discuss_v with_o charity_n and_o if_o our_o adversary_n do_v consider_v calm_o the_o precedent_a explication_n

the_o necessary_a foundation_n thereof_o this_o groundwork_n be_v impugned_a by_o the_o caluinist_n there_o be_v no_o point_n that_o be_v evident_o more_o important_a in_o our_o controversy_n since_o the_o question_n be_v of_o the_o real_a presence_n of_o christ_n himself_o there_o be_v nothing_o our_o adversary_n find_v more_o difficult_a to_o believe_v and_o there_o be_v no_o controversy_n which_o set_v we_o more_o direct_o opposite_a in_o most_o of_o our_o other_o dispute_n when_o they_o reflect_v calm_o upon_o they_o they_o find_v difficulty_n grow_v much_o evener_n and_o that_o very_a often_o they_o be_v more_o offend_v with_o the_o term_n then_o with_o the_o matter_n but_o quite_o contrary_a in_o this_o subject_n we_o agree_v best_a in_o the_o manner_n of_o speak_v because_o on_o both_o side_n we_o hear_v the_o same_o term_n of_o real_a participation_n and_o other_o such_o like_a word_n but_o the_o more_o exact_o we_o enter_v into_o the_o examination_n the_o further_o we_o find_v ourselves_o distant_a from_o one_o a_o other_o by_o reason_n that_o our_o adversary_n do_v not_o admit_v the_o consequence_n of_o those_o verity_n they_o have_v acknowlege_v be_v as_o i_o have_v already_o say_v discourage_v and_o avert_v by_o the_o difficulty_n which_o occur_v to_o their_o sense_n and_o humane_a reason_n in_o those_o consequence_n this_o be_v therefore_o to_o speak_v true_o the_o most_o important_a and_o most_o difficult_a of_o all_o our_o controversy_n &_o wherein_o we_o be_v in_o effect_n most_o remove_v from_o one_o a_o other_o nevertheless_o god_n have_v be_v please_v to_o suffer_v that_o the_o lutheran_n shall_v remain_v as_o firm_o adhere_v to_o the_o belief_n of_o the_o reality_n as_o we_o and_o have_v permit_v also_o that_o the_o caluinist_n shall_v avow_v that_o this_o doctrine_n have_v no_o venom_n in_o it_o that_o it_o do_v not_o subvert_v the_o foundation_n of_o save_v faith_n and_o that_o it_o ought_v not_o to_o break_v the_o communion_n of_o christian_a fraternity_n let_v i_o request_v the_o follower_n of_o the_o pretended-reformed_n religion_n who_o apply_v themselves_o serious_o to_o their_o salvation_n to_o reflect_v attentive_o upon_o what_o course_n the_o divine_a providence_n take_v to_o draw_v they_o imperceptible_o near_a we_o and_o the_o truth_n one_o may_v either_o entire_o dissipate_v all_o the_o other_o ground_n of_o their_o complaint_n or_o at_o least_o reduce_v they_o to_o very_o inconsiderable_a difference_n by_o a_o mere_a expound_v they_o and_o in_o this_o particular_a which_o we_o can_v not_o expect_v to_o overcome_v by_o this_o way_n they_o have_v of_o themselves_o void_v the_o principal_a difficulty_n by_o declare_v that_o this_o doctrine_n be_v not_o incompetent_a with_o our_o salvation_n nor_o inconsistent_a with_o the_o foundamentall_n of_o religion_n true_a it_o be_v that_o the_o lutheran_n albeit_o they_o concur_v with_o we_o in_o the_o main_a point_n of_o the_o reality_n do_v not_o embrace_v all_o the_o consequence_n thereof_o they_o join_v the_o bread_n to_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n jesus_n some_o of_o they_o reject_v the_o adoration_n and_o they_o seem_v to_o confess_v the_o presence_n only_o in_o the_o act_n of_o receive_v it_o but_o no_o art_n or_o subtlety_n of_o their_o minister_n can_v ever_o persuade_v solid_a &_o understand_a considerer_n that_o accept_v the_o reality_n which_o be_v the_o most_o important_a and_o most_o difficult_a point_n they_o ought_v not_o assent_v unto_o the_o rest_n of_o our_o proposal_n beside_o the_o same_o providence_n which_o work_v covert_o to_o draw_v we_o near_o and_o lay_v the_o foundation_n of_o peace_n &_o reconciliation_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o all_o our_o sharpness_n and_o dissension_n have_v further_a permit_v the_o caluinist_n shall_v allow_v that_o suppose_v these_o word_n this_o be_v my_o body_n be_v to_o be_v take_v literal_o the_o catholic_n argue_n &_o conclude_v more_o consequent_o than_o the_o lutheran_n if_o i_o do_v not_o repeat_v the_o passage_n that_o have_v be_v so_o frequent_o cite_v in_o this_o subject_n i_o shall_v easy_o be_v excuse_v since_o all_o such_o as_o be_v not_o very_o obstinate_a will_v easy_o grant_v we_o that_o the_o reality_n suppose_v our_o doctrine_n be_v that_o which_o follow_v by_o the_o best_a consequence_n this_o be_v therefore_o a_o establish_a truth_n that_o our_o doctrine_n in_o this_o point_n contain_v nothing_o but_o the_o reality_n right_o understand_v but_o we_o must_v not_o be_v content_a with_o this_o we_o further_o entreat_v the_o pretend_v reformer_n to_o consider_v that_o we_o do_v not_o employ_v any_o thing_n to_o explicate_v the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o eucharist_n but_o what_o necessary_o be_v include_v in_o the_o real_a presence_n if_o upon_o this_o a_o question_n then_o be_v put_v to_o we_o how_o the_o lutheran_n who_o believe_v the_o reality_n come_v notwithstanding_o to_o reject_v the_o
