master_n whites_n adversary_n in_o this_o point_n shall_v urge_v that_o there_o be_v a_o plain_a practical_a tradition_n for_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o delivery_n of_o soul_n from_o purgatory_n before_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n by_o the_o help_n of_o indulgence_n mass_n prayer_n and_o alm_n it_o will_v have_v some_o difficulty_n in_o it_o to_o disprove_v they_o for_o that_o the_o member_n of_o the_o roman_a church_n do_v not_o only_o general_o use_v those_o thing_n to_o that_o end_n and_o purpose_n but_o be_v also_o teach_v by_o the_o precede_a age_n to_o do_v so_o will_v not_o i_o presume_v be_v deny_v so_o that_o unless_o they_o be_v tell_v by_o the_o recommender_n of_o the_o practice_n that_o it_o be_v the_o product_n of_o a_o pious_a opinion_n only_o ground_v on_o probability_n which_o i_o can_v conjecture_v any_o likelihood_n of_o be_v do_v by_o pastor_n parent_n guardian_n master_n of_o family_n and_o nurse_n who_o most_o common_o rather_o press_v the_o necessity_n of_o what_o they_o teach_v than_o otherwise_o i_o apprehend_v not_o how_o they_o shall_v embrace_v it_o save_v on_o the_o same_o term_n they_o do_v other_o practical_a thing_n of_o their_o religion_n which_o they_o judge_v to_o be_v of_o catholic_n use_n and_o necessity_n a_o three_o instance_n shall_v be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o transubstantiation_n which_o if_o it_o necessary_o imply_v a_o contradiction_n be_v doubtless_o a_o error_n and_o to_o prove_v it_o do_v i_o will_v of_o many_o argument_n that_o may_v be_v urge_v make_v use_v only_o of_o two_o when_o i_o have_v first_o set_v down_o three_o thing_n which_o by_o the_o traditionist_n i_o be_o sure_a by_o some_o of_o they_o will_v be_v grant_v to_o be_v all_o of_o they_o truth_n the_o first_o be_v that_o transubstantiation_n be_v a_o conversion_n of_o the_o bread_n into_o the_o body_n and_o the_o wine_n into_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n the_o second_o be_v that_o a_o body_n have_v extension_n or_o part_n extra_fw-la part_n the_o three_o thing_n be_v this_o that_o how_o many_o host_n or_o conconsecrated_a element_n soever_o they_o be_v christ_n body_n be_v nevertheless_o but_o one_o these_o three_o proposition_n presuppose_v as_o true_a i_o argue_v that_o the_o doctrine_n of_o transubstantiation_n imply_v a_o contradiction_n in_o manner_n follow_v whosoever_o teach_v that_o one_o and_o the_o same_o body_n may_v be_v equal_o extend_v and_o not_o equal_o extend_v at_o one_o and_o the_o same_o time_n teach_v in_o effect_n a_o contradiction_n to_o be_v true_a but_o whosoever_o teach_v the_o doctrine_n of_o transubstantiation_n teach_v that_o one_o and_o the_o same_o body_n may_v be_v equal_o extend_v and_o not_o equal_o extend_v at_o one_o and_o the_o same_o time_n ergo_fw-la whosoever_o teach_v the_o doctrine_n of_o transubstantiation_n teach_v in_o effect_n a_o contradiction_n to_o be_v true_a the_o reason_n of_o the_o major_n be_v this_o corpus_fw-la &_o quoquoversus_fw-la extensum_fw-la vel_fw-la quod_fw-la habet_fw-la part_n extra_fw-la part_n signify_v the_o same_o thing_n and_o to_o be_v equal_o extend_v and_o not_o equal_o extend_v be_v one_o with_o this_o to_o be_v extend_v to_o one_o and_o the_o same_o degree_n and_o not_o be_v extend_v to_o one_o and_o the_o same_o degree_n which_o to_o befall_v one_o and_o the_o same_o thing_n at_o one_o and_o the_o same_o time_n be_v certain_o contradictory_n since_o in_o regard_n a_o body_n and_o a_o thing_n every_o way_n extend_v differ_v not_o it_o be_v in_o effect_n to_o be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o thing_n and_o not_o one_o and_o the_o same_o thing_n at_o once_o or_o the_o same_o thing_n not_o to_o be_v the_o same_o thing_n with_o itself_o the_o evidence_n for_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o minor_a be_v no_o less_o than_o for_o that_o of_o the_o major_a for_o since_o according_a to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o transubstantiation_n christ_n body_n be_v every_o where_o one_o and_o the_o same_o body_n and_o the_o consecrate_a element_n be_v many_o either_o substance_n or_o accident_n it_o will_v follow_v that_o as_o often_o as_o the_o elément_n be_v at_o the_o same_o time_n of_o different_a size_n or_o bigness_n the_o body_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v neither_o more_o nor_o less_o extend_v on_o the_o altar_n than_o the_o element_n must_v be_v of_o a_o unequal_a bigness_n at_o the_o same_o time_n or_o be_v equal_o and_o not-equal_o or_o just_a to_o such_o a_o degree_n and_o not_o just_a to_o such_o a_o degree_n of_o bigness_n extend_v in_o one_o moment_n of_o time_n for_o example_n the_o body_n of_o christ_n under_o the_o element_n extend_v in_o one_o place_n to_o two_o degree_n and_o the_o same_o body_n under_o the_o element_n extend_v in_o another_o place_n to_o three_o degree_n will_v be_v at_o the_o same_o time_n extend_v just_a to_o two_o degree_n and_o not_o just_a to_o two_o degree_n and_o likewise_o just_a to_o three_o degree_n and_o not_o just_a to_o three_o degree_n which_o to_o suppose_v a_o truth_n see_v a_o body_n and_o a_o thing_n every_o way_n extend_v be_v the_o same_o be_v to_o put_v a_o thing_n to_o be_v not_o the_o same_o thing_n which_o it_o be_v another_o argument_n be_v offer_v against_o transubstantiation_n thus_o to_o affirm_v christ_n body_n to_o be_v great_a and_o less_o than_o itself_o at_o the_o same_o time_n be_v in_o effect_n to_o affirm_v a_o contradiction_n true_a but_o to_o affirm_v christ_n body_n to_o be_v in_o two_o or_o more_o distinct_a place_n at_o once_o as_o those_o who_o will_v defend_v transubstantiation_n must_v do_v be_v to_o affirm_v it_o to_o be_v great_a and_o less_o than_o itself_o at_o the_o same_o time_n ergo_fw-la to_o affirm_v christ_n body_n to_o be_v in_o two_o or_o more_o distinct_a place_n at_o once_o be_v in_o effect_n to_o affirm_v a_o contradiction_n true_a the_o truth_n of_o the_o major_n be_v clear_a from_o hence_o that_o it_o be_v the_o same_o for_o a_o body_n or_o a_o thing_n extend_v to_o be_v great_a and_o less_o than_o itself_o at_o the_o same_o time_n as_o to_o be_v and_o not_o to_o be_v the_o same_o with_o itself_o which_o be_v impossible_a and_o the_o minor_n be_v equal_o certain_a for_o since_o two_o distinct_a place_n be_v of_o large_a extent_n than_o one_o and_o that_o locus_fw-la and_o locatum_fw-la be_v commensurat_fw-la if_o one_o body_n fill_v distinct_o and_o apart_o one_o place_n and_o yet_o at_o the_o same_o time_n fill_v another_o also_o it_o will_v of_o necessity_n be_v great_a and_o less_o than_o itself_o whilst_o fill_v only_o one_o place_n it_o will_v be_v less_o than_o itself_o fill_v then_o and_o fill_v two_o it_o will_v be_v great_a than_o itself_o fill_v only_a one_o some_o romanist_n i_o know_v will_v make_v light_n of_o all_o this_o i_o have_v say_v against_o transubstantiation_n and_o think_v to_o confute_v it_o by_o flat_o deny_v that_o a_o body_n and_o thing_n extend_v be_v all_o one_o but_o of_o such_o i_o will_v fain_o learn_v what_o a_o body_n then_o be_v or_o how_o a_o corporeal_a substance_n as_o such_o be_v distinguish_v from_o a_o incorporeal_a a_o material_a from_o a_o immaterial_a otherways_o then_o by_o extension_n or_o have_v part_v

actual_o extend_v yet_o natural_o capable_a of_o be_v so_o which_o a_o immaterial_a be_v not_o i_o desire_v to_o be_v resolve_v whether_o by_o nature_n and_o creation_n there_o be_v or_o ever_o be_v any_o material_a substance_n in_o the_o world_n without_o extension_n if_o they_o yield_v as_o i_o assure_v myself_o they_o will_v there_o neither_o be_v nor_o ever_o be_v i_o shall_v take_v their_o concession_n for_o a_o grant_n that_o it_o be_v a_o natural_a and_o innate_a property_n of_o matter_n to_o have_v extension_n and_o consequent_o from_o thence_o infer_v that_o if_o christ_n body_n in_o the_o eucharist_n be_v unextend_v it_o be_v either_o a_o immaterial_a substance_n that_o be_v a_o spirit_n and_o no_o body_n or_o else_o a_o new_a kind_n of_o be_v which_o be_v neither_o materal_a nor_o immaterial_a since_o by_o creation_n all_o substance_n be_v either_o the_o one_o or_o the_o other_o have_v quantitative_a part_n or_o have_v not_o if_o reply_n be_v make_v that_o
