principle_n which_o these_o gentleman_n will_v grant_v 1._o that_o god_n be_v every_o where_o that_o he_o fill_v all_o place_n and_o penetrate_v all_o creature_n and_o particular_o all_o body_n yet_o will_v it_o be_v a_o idolatry_n to_o adore_v he_o in_o the_o creature_n that_o be_v to_o say_v to_o adore_v creature_n wherein_o he_o be_v for_o example_n god_n penetrate_v by_o his_o substance_n dog_n and_o horse_n he_o penetrate_v all_o marble_n statue_n and_o brass_n which_o have_v be_v make_v to_o represent_v the_o worthy_n of_o the_o pagan_n or_o their_o false_a god_n yet_o it_o will_v be_v true_o idolatry_n if_o one_o shall_v prostrate_v himself_o before_o those_o animal_n or_o before_o those_o statue_n to_o adore_v they_o under_o pretence_n that_o god_n fill_v they_o 2._o my_o second_o principle_n be_v that_o the_o body_n of_o jesus_n christ_n according_a to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o roman_a church_n be_v in_o the_o bread_n of_o the_o eucharist_n after_o the_o manner_n of_o spirit_n without_o extent_n without_o division_n invisible_a inpalpable_a and_o to_o speak_v it_o in_o other_o term_n the_o body_n of_o christ_n jesus_n do_v not_o fill_v the_o bread_n in_o another_o manner_n than_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o deity_n do_v fill_v the_o brass_n or_o marble_n if_o any_o say_v that_o this_o principle_n be_v false_a and_o that_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o body_n of_o jesus_n christ_n do_v fill_v the_o sign_n of_o the_o eucharist_n by_o the_o annihilation_n of_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n whereas_o god_n do_v fill_v the_o marble_n without_o alter_v their_o substance_n i_o will_v answer_v that_o this_o do_v nothing_o against_o our_o principle_n if_o the_o presence_n of_o the_o humanity_n of_o jesus_n christ_n in_o the_o eucharist_n do_v annihilate_v the_o substance_n of_o the_o bread_n it_o be_v because_o god_n will_v have_v it_o so_o for_o to_o place_v the_o substance_n of_o jesus_n christ_n under_o the_o bread_n it_o be_v not_o worth_a the_o pain_n to_o annihilate_v the_o substance_n of_o the_o bread_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o flesh_n of_o the_o lord_n which_o penetrate_v itself_o in_o the_o eucharist_n can_v also_o penetrate_v the_o substance_n of_o the_o bread_n that_o answer_n will_v therefore_o serve_v only_o to_o let_v we_o see_v the_o uselessness_n of_o transubstantiation_n and_o of_o the_o annihilation_n of_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o bread_n in_o truth_n see_v they_o have_v need_v here_o only_o of_o the_o real_a presence_n it_o be_v not_o worth_a the_o pain_n to_o add_v thereto_o annihilation_n or_o change_v of_o substance_n which_o add_v a_o thousand_o difficulty_n to_o those_o of_o the_o real_a presence_n however_o it_o be_v i_o pretend_v that_o according_a to_o the_o principle_n of_o the_o roman_a church_n the_o flesh_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v not_o otherwise_o in_o the_o eucharist_n than_o the_o substance_n of_o god_n in_o common_a bread_n or_o within_o any_o other_o body_n the_o flesh_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v whole_o entire_a in_o the_o whole_a eucharist_n it_o be_v entire_o whole_a under_o every_o part_n thereof_o the_o substance_n of_o god_n be_v entire_o whole_a in_o every_o body_n and_o whole_o entire_a under_o every_o one_o of_o the_o part_n of_o that_o body_n the_o flesh_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v whole_o entire_a out_o of_o the_o eucharist_n as_o it_o be_v whole_o entire_a within_o it_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o divinity_n be_v whole_o entire_a without_o every_o body_n and_o whole_o entire_a within_o that_o body_n the_o flesh_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v in_o the_o eucharist_n in_o a_o manner_n indivisible_a and_o without_o extension_n the_o substance_n of_o god_n be_v within_o each_o body_n without_o any_o division_n and_o without_o any_o extension_n of_o part_n in_o fine_a i_o be_o assure_v that_o one_o can_v find_v any_o essential_a difference_n and_o that_o may_v concern_v our_o subject_n between_o these_o two_o manner_n of_o subsist_v one_o of_o the_o divinity_n in_o all_o body_n the_o other_o of_o the_o flesh_n of_o jesus_n christ_n in_o the_o eucharist_n 3._o my_o three_o principle_n be_v that_o the_o divinity_n which_o so_o penetrate_v all_o body_n in_o the_o world_n be_v infinite_o more_o adorable_a than_o the_o flesh_n of_o jesus_n christ_n which_o penetrate_v and_o fill_v the_o sign_n of_o the_o eucharist_n for_o the_o divinity_n be_v adorable_a by_o himself_o and_o because_o of_o himself_o but_o the_o humanity_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v only_o co-adorable_a as_o the_o ancient_n have_v speak_v that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o it_o merit_v not_o to_o be_v adore_v but_o because_o it_o be_v personal_o unite_v to_o the_o divinity_n 4._o in_o fine_a my_o last_o principle_n be_v a_o truth_n of_o experience_n and_o sense_n it_o be_v that_o the_o change_n which_o be_v wrought_v in_o the_o sign_n of_o the_o eucharist_n hinder_v not_o the_o sign_n from_o be_v entire_o fill_v with_o creature_n the_o substance_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n be_v therein_o no_o more_o i_o suppose_v it_o with_o those_o gentleman_n yet_o let_v they_o take_v a_o loaf_n of_o bread_n of_o whatever_o bigness_n they_o please_v let_v a_o priest_n consecrate_v it_o let_v it_o be_v traverse_v penetrate_v on_o all_o part_n let_v it_o be_v divide_v and_o break_v into_o part_n almost_o imperceptible_a yet_o every_o where_o we_o still_o find_v something_o figure_v colour_v round_o or_o square_a or_o triangular_a white_a or_o black_a small_a or_o big_a and_o all_o that_o we_o taste_v in_o penetrate_v this_o subject_a on_o all_o side_n they_o be_v creature_n these_o principle_n then_o be_v lay_v see_v how_o i_o reason_n if_o it_o be_v permit_v i_o to_o adore_v the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o eucharist_n which_o be_v all_o replenish_a and_o fill_v up_o with_o creature_n only_o because_o the_o flesh_n of_o jesus_n christ_n do_v fill_v it_o in_o a_o spititual_a manner_n without_o division_n and_o without_o extension_n why_o shall_v it_o not_o be_v permit_v to_o adore_v the_o marble_n and_o the_o brass_n which_o be_v full_a of_o the_o divinity_n which_o be_v infinite_o more_o adoreable_a and_o which_o be_v present_a in_o this_o brass_n in_o that_o manner_n that_o the_o flesh_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v present_a in_o the_o sign_n of_o the_o eucharist_n or_o else_o i_o thus_o tutn_v my_o reason_v god_n be_v present_a in_o this_o marble_n he_o fill_v it_o he_o be_v there_o in_o a_o manner_n incomprehensible_a and_o adorable_a yet_o be_v it_o not_o permit_v i_o to_o prostrate_v

in_o the_o marble_n there_o be_v also_o a_o creature_n there_o it_o be_v full_a of_o it_o and_o i_o can_v not_o adore_v this_o subject_a which_o be_v in_o part_n creature_n in_o part_n creator_n but_o that_o i_o shall_v thereby_o give_v a_o sovereign_a adoration_n to_o the_o creature_n that_o which_o the_o creator_n do_v sovereign_o detest_v i_o make_v application_n of_o my_o principle_n to_o my_o

those_o sacrifice_n be_v offer_v only_o to_o god_n i_o see_v not_o what_o honour_n redound_v thence_o to_o the_o saint_n i_o conceive_v well_o that_o there_o be_v a_o sense_n wherein_o it_o be_v true_a to_o say_v that_o in_o honour_v the_o master_n man_n honour_v the_o servant_n it_o be_v a_o great_a honour_n to_o a_o servant_n to_o appertain_v to_o a_o puissant_a master_n to_o who_o all_o

they_o say_v they_o offer_v to_o god_n the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o mass_n to_o the_o honour_n of_o saint_n if_o that_o be_v true_a all_o the_o prayer_n and_o all_o the_o act_n of_o latria_n that_o those_o gentleman_n present_a to_o god_n shall_v be_v do_v to_o the_o honour_n of_o the_o saint_n now_o it_o be_v not_o so_o say_v if_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o mass_n be_v do_v in_o honour_n to_o

one_o may_v be_v save_v well_o enough_o by_o invocation_n of_o god_n first_o i_o say_v to_o that_o how_o can_v one_o enter_v into_o a_o church_n wherein_o saint_n be_v invoke_v in_o the_o public_a
