as_o saint_n of_o another_o a_o answer_n to_o a_o objection_n but_o you_o will_v say_v if_o there_o be_v such_o a_o miraculous_a change_n wrought_v in_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n in_o the_o holy_a eucharist_n why_o do_v it_o not_o appear_v to_o our_o sense_n as_o well_o as_o other_o miraculous_a work_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n do_v when_o he_o turn_v water_n into_o wine_n it_o appear_v such_o to_o the_o sight_n and_o taste_v of_o the_o guest_n at_o the_o marriage-feast_n he_o do_v not_o bare_o tell_v they_o the_o water_n be_v turn_v into_o wine_n and_o exact_v their_o belief_n of_o his_o word_n contrary_a to_o the_o evidence_n of_o all_o their_o sense_n but_o convince_v they_o that_o it_o be_v so_o by_o their_o very_a sense_n why_o then_o in_o our_o present_a case_n if_o he_o turn_v wine_n into_o his_o blood_n do_v it_o not_o appear_v to_o our_o fight_n to_o be_v blood_n but_o bare_o to_o tell_v we_o that_o it_o be_v his_o blood_n and_o yet_o to_o let_v it_o taste_v and_o appear_v as_o it_o do_v how_o be_v this_o credible_a how_o be_v it_o not_o contrary_a to_o one_o but_o to_o all_o the_o miracle_n that_o ever_o he_o wrought_v and_o this_o argument_n be_v further_o strengthen_v for_o that_o it_o will_v hence_o follow_v we_o may_v call_v in_o question_n the_o whole_a mystery_n of_o christianity_n for_o we_o therefore_o believe_v in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n as_o one_o indeed_o send_v from_o god_n to_o teach_v we_o nothing_o but_o truth_n because_o of_o his_o miracle_n and_o we_o have_v no_o assurance_n of_o his_o miracle_n but_o from_o our_o sense_n if_o our_o sense_n may_v be_v mistake_v how_o can_v we_o tell_v but_o those_o who_o be_v eye-witness_n of_o his_o wonder_n be_v illude_v and_o water_n for_o example_n be_v not_o turn_v by_o he_o into_o wine_n but_o only_o seem_v wine_n to_o the_o taste_n and_o sight_n of_o those_o which_o be_v present_a and_o indeed_o remain_v water_n as_o before_o for_o why_o may_v not_o water_n remain_v water_n and_o yet_o seem_v to_o my_o taste_n wine_n as_o well_o as_o wine_n be_v change_v into_o blood_n and_o yet_o seem_v to_o my_o taste_n and_o sight_n to_o remain_v wine_n for_o answer_v to_o this_o objection_n we_o must_v distinguish_v two_o sort_n of_o miracle_n with_o the_o end_n for_o which_o they_o be_v wrought_v some_o miracle_n be_v wrought_v by_o almighty_a god_n to_o draw_v the_o world_n to_o the_o christian_a faith_n and_o these_o must_v necessary_o be_v the_o object_n of_o our_o sense_n else_o it_o can_v not_o reasonable_o be_v expect_v they_o shall_v work_v their_o intend_a effect_n in_o they_o for_o who_o sake_n they_o be_v wrought_v for_o example_n if_o any_o one_o will_v by_o miracle_n prove_v he_o be_v send_v from_o god_n by_o raise_v a_o dead_a man_n to_o life_n or_o by_o turn_v water_n into_o wine_n he_o must_v make_v it_o evident_a to_o my_o sense_n that_o the_o man_n who_o be_v dead_a be_v alive_a and_o the_o water_n now_o wine_n and_o not_o bare_o tell_v i_o so_o else_o he_o will_v be_v deride_v as_o a_o impostor_n and_o impudent_a liar_n instead_o of_o be_v admire_v and_o receive_v as_o a_o messenger_n from_o heaven_n and_o oracle_n of_o truth_n there_o be_v other_o miracle_n which_o be_v wrought_v by_o the_o almighty_a not_o as_o a_o motive_n to_o induce_v we_o to_o receive_v the_o true_a faith_n but_o to_o sanctify_v we_o when_o we_o have_v receive_v it_o or_o for_o the_o necessity_n of_o work_v the_o salvation_n of_o the_o world_n such_o be_v the_o miracle_n of_o the_o incarnation_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o all_o the_o spiritual_a effect_n wrought_v in_o the_o soul_n of_o christian_n by_o any_o of_o the_o sacrament_n now_o these_o miraculous_a effect_n be_v not_o the_o object_n of_o our_o sense_n nor_o be_v there_o any_o reason_n they_o shall_v be_v for_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n do_v not_o urge_v these_o to_o
rather_o wonder_v at_o their_o stupidity_n and_o fond_a credulity_n who_o can_v believe_v any_o such_o thing_n but_o to_o get_v a_o right_n strong_a and_o well_o ground_a faith_n concern_v this_o high_a mystery_n what_o must_v we_o do_v first_o reflect_v we_o be_v christian_n and_o as_o such_o must_v necessary_o believe_v very_o many_o strange_a thing_n unless_o we_o will_v renounce_v christianity_n for_o example_n we_o must_v believe_v that_o there_o be_v three_o distinct_a person_n and_o every_o one_o of_o these_o be_v god_n and_o yet_o there_o be_v not_o three_o god_n but_o only_o one_o god_n we_o must_v also_o believe_v this_o one_o god_n be_v infinite_o merciful_a and_o yet_o he_o will_v permit_v million_o of_o soul_n to_o lament_v and_o howl_v amid_o scorch_a flame_n for_o ever_o though_o with_o a_o word_n he_o can_v ease_v they_o of_o all_o their_o pain_n moreover_o we_o must_v believe_v that_o 1600._o year_n ago_o one_o of_o the_o three_o divine_a person_n be_v
