that_o be_v their_o worship_v of_o the_o consecrate_a host_n or_o bread_n in_o their_o mass_n and_o at_o other_o time_n he_o that_o worship_v the_o consecrate_a bread_n with_o divine_a worship_n do_v worship_n the_o creature_n with_o divine_a worship_n but_o the_o papist_n worship_v the_o consecrate_a bread_n with_o divine_a worship_n therefore_o they_o deny_v the_o major_n and_o tell_v we_o that_o it_o be_v no_o long_a bread_n but_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n but_o that_o they_o worship_v that_o thing_n which_o we_o call_v bread_n and_o they_o call_v christ_n body_n with_o divine_a worship_n they_o do_v not_o deny_v only_o some_o will_v excuse_v they_o from_o the_o guilt_n of_o idolatry_n which_o be_v a_o worship_v the_o creature_n instead_o of_o the_o creator_n by_o this_o because_o they_o think_v it_o be_v christ_n that_o they_o worship_v and_o so_o interpretative_o it_o be_v he_o in_o deed_n and_o the_o worship_n right_o but_o if_o they_o will_v think_v that_o to_o be_v christ_n which_o be_v not_o christ_n and_o then_o worship_v it_o that_o will_v not_o excuse_v they_o from_o be_v some_o kind_n of_o idolater_n what_o if_o they_o will_v think_v a_o ranter_n or_o quaker_n to_o be_v christ_n who_o call_v themselves_o christ_n be_v they_o therefore_o excusable_a if_o they_o worship_v they_o then_o why_o may_v not_o the_o old_a pagan_a idolater_n be_v justify_v or_o thus_o excuse_v see_v they_o think_v that_o the_o sun_n and_o moon_n have_v be_v go_n and_o when_o they_o worship_v a_o image_n they_o think_v that_o some_o deity_n have_v affix_v this_o special_a presence_n to_o that_o image_n what_o if_o a_o egyptian_a thought_n that_o a_o ox_n be_v god_n or_o that_o a_o deity_n do_v dwell_v in_o he_o be_v they_o therefore_o no_o idolater_n and_o then_o how_o heinous_o god_n take_v the_o sin_n of_o idolatry_n the_o scripture_n full_o witness_v that_o which_o we_o have_v to_o do_v therefore_o be_v only_o to_o inquire_v whether_o indeed_o it_o be_v bread_n or_o christ_n body_n a_o creature_n or_o the_o creator_n which_o they_o worship_n concern_v which_o there_o be_v so_o much_o say_v by_o doctor_n feat_o against_o fisher_n and_o by_o

i_o shall_v only_o annex_v ●hese_fw-mi reason_n very_o brief_o which_o come_v first_o to_o my_o thought_n to_o prove_v that_o the_o bread_n be_v not_o turn_v into_o the_o very_a body_n of_o christ_n but_o remain_v bread_n still_o 1._o if_o the_o bread_n be_v christ_n real_a body_n than_o christ_n have_v two_o real_a body_n for_o he_o have_v one_o sit_v at_o the_o table_n which_o deliver_v the_o bread_n and_o if_o the_o bread_n be_v another_o he_o have_v two_o or_o else_o the_o body_n that_o christ_n sit_v and_o live_v with_o be_v not_o a_o whole_a body_n but_o a_o part_n but_o christ_n have_v but_o one_o body_n and_o that_o be_v entire_a 2._o it_o will_v follow_v also_o that_o christ_n have_v a_o live_n and_o a_o dead_a body_n a_o sensible_a and_o insensible_a body_n both_o at_o once_o 3._o it_o will_v follow_v that_o the_o apostle_n do_v tear_v christ_n true_a flesh_n and_o draw_v out_o his_o blood_n as_o well_o as_o the_o jew_n do_v 4._o yea_o and_o that_o they_o begin_v to_o the_o jew_n and_o do_v it_o before_o they_o and_o therefore_o why_o shall_v the_o jew_n act_n and_o they_o be_v so_o much_o difference_v 5._o it_o will_v follow_v that_o either_o christ_n have_v one_o body_n tear_v by_o the_o jew_n and_o another_o by_o the_o disciple_n or_o else_o that_o one_o part_n of_o his_o body_n only_o be_v crucify_v and_o not_o the_o whole_a for_o the_o other_o part_n be_v eat_v and_o drink_v by_o the_o disciple_n before_o 6._o also_o either_o christ_n have_v one_o body_n that_o do_v rise_v again_o and_o another_o that_o never_o rise_v or_o else_o it_o be_v but_o one_o part_n of_o christ_n body_n that_o rise_v from_o the_o dead_a for_o the_o other_o part_n be_v eat_v and_o drink_v before_o 7._o the_o like_a may_v be_v say_v of_o his_o ascension_n then_o it_o be_v not_o christ_n whole_a body_n that_o ascend_v up_o into_o heaven_n for_o part_n of_o it_o be_v eat_v before_o by_o the_o disciple_n and_o digest_v by_o they_o 8._o it_o will_v follow_v that_o christ_n glorify_a body_n be_v corruptible_a and_o may_v be_v digest_v by_o a_o man_n stomach_n and_o turn_v into_o dung_n for_o so_o be_v that_o which_o be_v eat_v 9_o it_o will_v follow_v also_o that_o christ_n body_n may_v become_v a_o integral_a part_n of_o our_o very_a natural_a body_n and_o so_o his_o body_n be_v become_v sinful_a as_o be_v a_o natural_a part_n of_o a_o sinner_n for_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n do_v nourish_v we_o and_o turn_v into_o our_o substance_n 10._o yea_o it_o follow_v that_o christ_n do_v thus_o turn_v into_o the_o substance_n of_o every_o child_n of_o the_o devil_n that_o eat_v the_o consecrate_a bread_n and_o drink_v the_o wine_n for_o they_o certain_o nourish_v he_o and_o turn_n into_o his_o substance_n a_o most_o horrid_a consequent_a for_o what_o communion_n have_v christ_n with_o belial_n 11._o nay_o which_o be_v in_o some_o respect_n more_o horrid_a and_o abominable_a to_o imagine_v it_o will_v follow_v that_o the_o glorify_a body_n of_o christ_n may_v turn_v into_o the_o substance_n of_o a_o mouse_n or_o a_o dog_n for_o if_o they_o eat_v it_o the_o bread_n will_v certain_o nourish_v they_o and_o become_v their_o substance_n 12._o it_o will_v follow_v that_o either_o christ_n have_v a_o insensible_a body_n or_o else_o man_n hurt_v he_o by_o eat_v he_o in_o the_o eucharist_n 13._o it_o follow_v that_o christ_n have_v as_o many_o thousand_o body_n as_o there_o be_v consecrate_v host_n or_o else_o that_o by_o continuation_n of_o part_n it_o be_v every_o where_o and_o fill_v all_o the_o world_n which_o the_o papist_n disavow_v 14._o it_o follow_v

vain_a as_o to_o prefer_v custom_n before_o truth_n or_o that_o see_v the_o light_n will_v not_o forsake_v the_o darkness_n except_o that_o when_o christ_n that_o be_v the_o truth_n be_v come_v the_o most_o ancient_a custom_n will_v have_v in_o any_o thing_n help_v the_o jew_n that_o leave_v the_o new_a way_n of_o truth_n they_o remain_v in_o antiquity_n which_o you_o african_n may_v say_v against_o stephen_n that_o have_v knowledge_n of_o the_o truth_n you_o have_v forsake_v the_o error_n of_o custom_n but_o we_o do_v both_o join_v custom_n to_o truth_n and_o to_o the_o custom_n of_o

deceive_v not_o thyself_o for_o he_o be_v true_o the_o schismatic_n who_o make_v himself_o a_o apostate_n from_o the_o communion_n of_o ecclesiastical_a unity_n for_o while_o thou_o think_v to_o
