of_o bread_n and_o wine_n the_o true_a body_n and_o blood_n together_o with_o the_o soul_n and_o divinity_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n in_o the_o selfsame_a substance_n wherein_o he_o now_o sit_v at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o the_o father_n which_o be_v in_o heaven_n and_o that_o be_v in_o the_o very_a substance_n wherein_o he_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o virgin_n and_o wherein_o he_o live_v and_o dye_v for_o we_o with_o this_o difference_n only_o that_o he_o be_v visible_a to_o the_o eye_n of_o flesh_n then_o and_o invisible_a to_o the_o same_o now_o for_o with_o our_o mortal_a eye_n we_o can_v no_o more_o see_v he_o sit_v at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o the_o father_n which_o be_v in_o heaven_n than_o we_o can_v see_v he_o in_o form_n and_o substance_n in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord's-supper_n which_o be_v on_o earth_n though_o by_o the_o eye_n of_o faith_n we_o see_v and_o believe_v he_o as_o firm_o in_o the_o one_o as_o substantial_o in_o the_o other_o for_o can_v we_o with_o our_o eye_n and_o sense_n of_o flesh_n see_v feel_v smell_v and_o taste_v if_o we_o can_v distinguish_v the_o flesh_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o sacrament_n it_o will_v not_o be_v of_o faith_n for_o according_a to_o st._n paul_n faith_n be_v the_o evividence_n of_o thing_n not_o see_v 11.1_o heb._n 11.1_o that_o be_v by_o faith_n we_o believe_v what_o we_o can_v

for_o it_o especial_o for_o you_o from_o the_o bottom_n of_o my_o heart_n without_o equivocation_n or_o mental_a reservation_n to_o the_o contrary_a which_o be_v maxim_n we_o utter_o abhor_v in_o all_o case_n wherein_o any_o thing_n of_o sincerity_n truth_n or_o good_a of_o our_o neighbour_n be_v concern_v though_o by_o the_o enemy_n of_o truth_n it_o be_v father_v upon_o we_o as_o a_o fundamental_a of_o our_o faith_n but_o that_o i_o may_v not_o digress_v from_o the_o intent_n you_o be_v upon_o i_o return_v to_o tell_v you_o that_o in_o the_o above_o i_o have_v true_o and_o real_o lay_v down_o the_o substance_n of_o what_o we_o believe_v of_o the_o lord's-supper_n which_o doctrine_n of_o the_o real_a presence_n and_o be_v of_o christ_n body_n and_o blood_n in_o the_o sacrament_n i_o affirm_v and_o prove_v by_o the_o express_a word_n of_o god_n himself_o in_o the_o follow_a text_n as_o take_v from_o a_o bible_n of_o your_o own_o print_v at_o london_n by_o bonham_n norton_n and_o john_n bill_n in_o the_o year_n 1628._o and_o as_o the_o bible_n be_v assert_v by_o d._n t._n in_o a_o late_a conference_n to_o be_v the_o protestant_a rule_n of_o faith_n so_o i_o hope_v no_o protestant_n will_v refuse_v to_o be_v try_v by_o his_o own_o rule_n though_o i_o fear_v whoever_o answer_v your_o request_n of_o the_o protestant_a party_n that_o he_o will_v be_v force_v to_o fly_v from_o his_o rule_n and_o betake_v himself_o to_o equivocation_n and_o twenty_o other_o figure_n and_o fancy_n of_o his_o own_o for_o he_o will_v never_o be_v able_a to_o stand_v by_o his_o rule_n nor_o will_v his_o rule_n ever_o stand_v by_o he_o wherefore_o to_o the_o sum_n of_o your_o request_n which_o be_v that_o we_o shall_v lay_v down_o all_o the_o scripture_n we_o can_v to_o prove_v the_o affirmative_a of_o our_o part_n and_o that_o the_o act_n of_o parliament_n establish_v minister_n shall_v produce_v all_o the_o scripture_n they_o can_v or_o have_v to_o prove_v the_o negative_a of_o their_o part_n i_o say_v the_o negative_a for_o that_o they_o deny_v what_o we_o affirm_v for_o truth_n and_o this_o i_o find_v be_v the_o pro_fw-la and_o con_n that_o you_o will_v be_v resolve_v in_o and_o that_o the_o method_n you_o take_v be_v as_o it_o be_v justiciary_a i.e._n to_o hear_v the_o evidence_n on_o both_o side_n the_o scripture_n as_o you_o repute'em_v be_v the_o
