credit_n of_o our_o sense_n give_v atheistical_a spirit_n and_o all_o that_o be_v enemy_n to_o our_o religion_n advantage_n and_o argument_n to_o discredit_v all_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christianity_n

nothing_o can_v be_v more_o contrary_a to_o reason_n than_o the_o doctrine_n of_o transubstantiation_n the_o spirit_n of_o man_n be_v the_o candle_n of_o the_o lord_n say_v solomon_n prov._n 20._o 27._o and_o it_o be_v senseless_a to_o imagine_v that_o when_o god_n set_v up_o this_o luminary_n in_o our_o heart_n his_o meaning_n be_v that_o we_o shall_v mind_v it_o no_o more_o than_o as_o if_o we_o live_v in_o utter_a darkness_n or_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v less_o useful_a to_o we_o than_o the_o light_n of_o a_o glow_n worm_n now_o first_o this_o be_v a_o certain_a principle_n of_o reason_n that_o a_o man_n can_v have_v but_o one_o body_n and_o so_o we_o be_v to_o conclude_v that_o christ_n himself_o have_v no_o more_o but_o if_o that_o which_o he_o give_v to_o his_o disciple_n be_v his_o very_a natural_a body_n consist_v of_o so_o many_o organical_a part_n than_o have_v he_o more_o body_n than_o one_o even_o as_o many_o as_o there_o be_v morsel_n because_o it_o be_v suppose_v that_o every_o disciple_n receive_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n entire_o now_o this_o be_v a_o imagination_n which_o the_o great_a heretic_n yet_o never_o dare_v to_o defend_v some_o indeed_o hold_v of_o old_a that_o christ_n have_v no_o real_a body_n at_o all_o but_o only_o a_o imaginary_a and_o fantastic_a be_v which_o be_v a_o delusion_n of_o man_n sense_n so_o the_o follower_n of_o simon_n magus_n the_o marciovite_n and_o other_o do_v false_o maintain_v but_o that_o he_o have_v more_o than_o one_o natural_a body_n proper_o so_o call_v none_n do_v ever_o affirm_v and_o yet_o this_o be_v the_o consequence_n of_o the_o romish_a doctrine_n of_o transubstantiation_n for_o either_o his_o natural_a body_n be_v not_o in_o the_o wafer_n at_o all_o or_o else_o it_o be_v not_o there_o whole_o and_o entire_o or_o else_o it_o must_v be_v suppose_v to_o be_v multiply_v proportionable_o to_o the_o number_n of_o the_o consecrate_a wafer_n and_o hence_o it_o must_v follow_v of_o necessity_n that_o as_o at_o the_o institution_n of_o this_o sacrament_n christ_n have_v some_o body_n which_o be_v not_o crucify_a for_o the_o supper_n be_v before_o the_o passion_n and_o that_o body_n which_o every_o apostle_n do_v eat_v be_v never_o crucify_a so_o still_o that_o christ_n have_v a_o indefinite_a number_n of_o body_n even_o as_o many_o as_o there_o be_v communicant_n in_o the_o whole_a world_n and_o then_o where_o shall_v we_o find_v that_o one_o man_n christ_n jesus_n that_o st._n paul_n speak_v of_o rom._n 5._o 15._o the_o gift_n of_o grace_n have_v abound_v unto_o

the_o same_o place_n at_o once_o as_o my_o body_n can_v be_v here_o and_o at_o the_o indies_n in_o the_o same_o moment_n for_o then_o it_o will_v be_v one_o body_n and_o yet_o not_o one_o at_o the_o

distinct_a from_o the_o arm_n and_o the_o head_n distinct_a from_o the_o trunk_n for_o else_o it_o will_v be_v a_o body_n and_o not_o a_o body_n a_o body_n must_v be_v circumscribe_v and_o limit_v to_o a_o determinate_a space_n proportionable_a to_o its_o dimension_n for_o else_o it_o will_v be_v a_o finite_a and_o yet_o a_o infinite_a substance_n a_o body_n can_v be_v break_v into_o piece_n

will_v be_v whole_a and_o not_o whole_a these_o and_o the_o like_a be_v everlasting_a and_o certain_a principle_n which_o all_o man_n that_o will_v obey_v common_a reason_n must_v agree_v in_o and_o
