storm_n and_o tempest_n of_o heresye_n that_o the_o dyvell_n have_v arayse_v special_o against_o the_o bless_a sacrament_n of_o the_o altar_n as_o well_o by_o the_o vehement_a storm_n of_o pestilent_a

verity_n of_o these_o word_n depend_v the_o verity_n of_o all_o the_o other_o miracle_n wrought_v in_o the_o bless_a sacrament_n and_o final_o i_o do_v apply_v the_o miracle_n of_o the_o bless_a

be_v ground_v upon_o a_o false_a presupposition_n answer_n the_o answer_n it_o presuppose_v that_o the_o priest_n or_o minister_n shall_v work_v all_o that_o be_v do_v in_o the_o consecration_n and_o that_o be_v very_o false_a for_o gentyl_o reader_n thou_o shall_v understande_v that_o the_o priest_n do_v no_o more_o here_o than_o he_o do_v in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o baptism_n and_o therefore_o i_o may_v make_v a_o like_a reason_n or_o argument_n and_o prove_v that_o the_o priest_n be_v christ_n thus_o he_o that_o baptyse_v as_o saint_n johan_n say_v in_o the_o water_n and_o gyve_v the_o

there_o in_o they_o reioyse_v as_o though_o they_o have_v optayn_v and_o receive_v the_o better_a baptism_n wherefore_o saint_n paul_n willing_n to_o reform_v this_o error_n he_o revoke_v they_o unto_o the_o consyderation_n of_o the_o mynister_n and_o what_o they_o do_v in_o that_o ministry_n and_o what_o and_o how_o much_o god_n wrought_v and_o say_v unto_o they_o what_o be_v apollo_n or_o what_o make_v you_o of_o paul_n they_o be_v but_o the_o mynister_n of_o he_o in_o who_o you_o have_v receive_v your_o faith_n and_o then_o by_o a_o similitude_n of_o husbandry_n he_o declare_v unto_o

there_o in_o the_o sacrament_n no_o more_o than_o he_o do_v remyt_n sin_v and_o geve_v the_o holy_a goost_n by_o cause_n that_o god_n workyth_v the_o forgevenes_n of_o sin_n and_o geve_v the_o holy_a

christ_n by_o his_o secret_a and_o omnipotent_a power_n even_o as_o he_o by_o the_o same_o power_n make_v that_o same_o body_n in_o the_o who_o of_o a_o virgin_n and_o as_o he_o do_v invisible_o wash_v the_o soul_n of_o he_o who_o the_o priest_n baptyzyth_v why_o then_o you_o will_v say_v the_o ministry_n of_o the_o priest_n be_v not_o necessary_a since_o god_n do_v al._n yet_o remember_v that_o s._n paul_n show_v how_o we_o be_v god_n helper_n and_o yet_o not_o doubt_n but_o that_o god_n can_v do_v &_o do_v all_o the_o whole_a yet_o not_o without_o our_o ministry_n not_o of_o necessity_n but_o that_o there_o may_v be_v a_o order_n in_o thing_n wherefore_o brief_o we_o answer_v that_o the_o priest_n make_v not_o god_n but_o god_n almighty_a in_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o priest_n by_o the_o myghtyfull_a power_n of_o his_o word_n speak_v by_o the_o priest_n make_v of_o bread_n the_o body_n &_o blood_n of_o christ_n and_o thus_o ought_v we_o to_o believe_v be_v it_o never_o so_o much_o against_o nature_n and_o never_o so_o far_o above_o reason_n for_o unto_o
he_o that_o be_v omnipotent_a and_o lord_n of_o nature_n it_o be_v possible_a for_o he_o can_v alter_v nature_n when_o he_o please_v and_o do_v wonderful_a thing_n innumerable_a that_o infynyte_o
