of_o communion_n and_o thereby_o it_o be_v show_v that_o according_a to_o his_o notion_n of_o catholic_n he_o that_o live_v in_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n live_v more_o in_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n than_o any_o member_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n §_o 4._o a_o further_a comparison_n be_v make_v between_o the_o church_n as_o to_o the_o

the_o church_n of_o rome_n in_o this_o point_n be_v lay_v down_o and_o two_o observation_n be_v make_v upon_o it_o first_o that_o our_o saviour_n word_n at_o the_o institution_n of_o the_o sacrament_n be_v not_o to_o be_v understand_v in_o a_o literal_a sense_n as_o she_o assert_v second_o that_o if_o they_o be_v yet_o neither_o can_v her_o doctrine_n be_v infer_v from_o they_o nor_o her_o practice_n be_v justify_v by_o they_o §_o 9_o the_o first_o of_o these_o be_v prove_v one_a from_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n in_o that_o it_o contradict_v our_o sense_n which_o be_v show_v to_o be_v proper_a judge_n in_o this_o case_n as_o well_o as_o any_o other_o the_o imposition_n also_o of_o the_o schoolman_n be_v detect_v in_o treat_v on_o this_o subject_n in_o improper_a term_n and_o far_o it_o be_v also_o show_v that_o in_o this_o sense_n they_o can_v agree_v with_o the_o concomitant_a expression_n as_o well_o before_o as_o after_o the_o institution_n §_o 10._o the_o same_o thing_n be_v prove_v two_o from_o the_o design_n of_o the_o institution_n which_o be_v show_v and_o explain_v and_o then_o compare_v with_o the_o passover_n and_o other_o sacrifice_n among_o the_o jew_n and_o so_o both_o the_o practice_n and_o the_o benefit_n thereof_o be_v illustrate_v by_o show_v what_o they_o do_v and_o what_o they_o expect_v §_o 11._o it_o be_v prove_v also_o three_o from_o the_o occasion_n of_o that_o expression_n which_o be_v show_v to_o be_v a_o parallel_n phrase_n constant_o in_o use_n among_o the_o jew_n at_o the_o celebration_n of_o the_o passover_n and_o so_o by_o the_o evident_a meaning_n of_o their_o word_n the_o sense_n of_o our_o saviour_n be_v full_o explain_v §_o 12._o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n in_o this_o point_n be_v show_v to_o agree_v with_o that_o of_o the_o father_n and_o the_o ancient_a doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n herself_o this_o be_v show_v to_o be_v still_o evident_a in_o the_o roman_a missal_n although_o it_o have_v be_v alter_v since_o the_o day_n of_o st._n ambrose_n to_o make_v it_o more_o conformable_a to_o the_o present_a doctrine_n §_o 13._o the_o former_a observation_n be_v prove_v 4thly_a from_o our_o saviour_n own_o declaration_n john_n vi_fw-la where_o he_o tell_v his_o disciple_n that_o he_o be_v spiritual_o to_o be_v understand_v and_o therefore_o as_o be_v further_a observe_v not_o only_a st._n paul_n but_o even_o the_o aforesaid_a missal_n call_v the_o sacrament_n bread_n after_o its_o consecration_n §_o 14._o another_o comparison_n be_v make_v between_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n and_o that_o of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n as_o to_o the_o consequence_n of_o they_o and_o thereby_o show_v that_o in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n man_n hazard_v their_o salvation_n on_o the_o truth_n of_o a_o opinion_n that_o may_v be_v false_a and_o more_o than_o probable_o be_v so_o for_o none_o not_o the_o least_o advantage_n if_o it_o shall_v be_v true_a §_o 15._o the_o other_o observation_n also_o be_v propound_v and_o therein_o it_o be_v show_v that_o our_o saviour_n word_n in_o the_o literal_a sense_n can_v only_o respect_v his_o body_n and_o that_o too_o as_o it_o be_v dead_a and_o offer_v up_o to_o god_n in_o sacrifice_n and_o several_a reason_n be_v offer_v thence_o to_o show_v that_o this_o be_v not_o a_o proper_a object_n for_o divine_a worship_n and_o therefore_o observe_v that_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n to_o justify_v their_o practice_n do_v strain_n the_o word_n abundant_o beyond_o all_o that_o they_o can_v bear_v without_o any_o reason_n or_o authority_n for_o it_o §_o 16._o another_o danger_n be_v observe_v even_o in_o go_v to_o mass_n as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o general_a practice_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n in_o that_o many_o be_v always_o present_a whenever_o the_o sacrament_n be_v administer_v who_o be_v not_o in_o a_o fit_a state_n to_o be_v partaker_n of_o it_o and_o this_o be_v show_v from_o scripture_n as_o well_o as_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o primitive_a christian_n §_o 17._o some_o other_o particular_n of_o the_o like_a nature_n be_v propose_v and_o brief_o touch_v to_o show_v the_o further_a evidence_n of_o the_o proposition_n discuss_v and_o so_o the_o conclusion_n be_v make_v with_o a_o exhortation_n to_o return_v a_o letter_n to_o a_o friend_n etc._n etc._n sir_n as_o every_o
