that_o jesus_n christ_n the_o only_a son_n of_o god_n be_v true_o and_o proper_o our_o lord_n of_o which_o matter_n that_o we_o may_v entreat_v orderly_o let_v we_o first_o see_v who_o this_o be_v

whereas_o by_o the_o name_n of_o word_n and_o flesh_n he_o mean_v nothing_o but_o these_o two_o nature_n man_n christ_n both_o god_n and_o man_n namely_o that_o god_n and_o man_n be_v a_o perpetual_a

very_o evident_a unto_o he_o that_o diligent_o and_o many_o time_n peruse_v they_o over_o but_o to_o proceed_v no_o further_o without_o some_o testimony_n of_o this_o matter_n i_o will_v bring_v two_o whereof_o the_o first_o be_v in_o esaie_n 5._o esaie_n 40_o 5._o where_o it_o be_v thus_o speak_v and_o all_o flesh_n shall_v see_v that_o god_n speak_v and_o the_o latter_a be_v in_o that_o 28._o

there_o be_v signify_v man_n hereby_o therefore_o it_o appear_v that_o the_o evangelist_n when_o he_o say_v that_o the_o word_n be_v make_v flesh_n mean_v no_o other_o than_o that_o which_o he_o have_v first_o declare_v namely_o that_o the_o nature_n divine_a and_o humane_a be_v unite_v together_o in_o christ_n 6_o moreover_o that_o humane_a nature_n be_v in_o he_o the_o thing_n which_o follow_v in_o this_o place_n do_v plain_o enough_o declare_v to_o wit_n that_o he_o suffer_v death_n and_o be_v bury_v wherefore_o the_o enemy_n of_o christian_n religion_n i_o mean_v the_o subtle_a and_o more_o witty_a sort_n do_v not_o for_o the_o most_o part_n oppose_v themselves_o much_o against_o the_o humane_a nature_n of_o christ_n and_o they_o which_o at_o a_o certain_a time_n go_v

now_o cite_v 1._o john_n 1_o 1._o and_o the_o word_n be_v god_n we_o have_v that_o say_n of_o the_o apostle_n which_o he_o write_v unto_o the_o roman_n 5._o rom._n 9_o 5._o to_o wit_n that_o christ_n

they_o ought_v to_o suffice_v for_o the_o confirm_v of_o the_o mind_n of_o faithful_a man_n in_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n but_o yet_o the_o holy_a scripture_n do_v furnish_v we_o with_o many_o other_o

to_o prove_v but_o also_o constrain_v to_o confess_v that_o christ_n be_v the_o true_a god_n this_o express_a prohibition_n be_v plain_o utter_v in_o many_o place_n namely_o that_o we_o must_v not_o

if_o christ_n be_v a_o mere_a man_n and_o by_o no_o mean_n god_n it_o may_v not_o be_v lawful_a for_o we_o to_o trust_v in_o he_o at_o all_o which_o notwithstanding_o the_o holy_a scripture_n do_v

the_o say_n of_o the_o father_n he_o in_o the_o 83_o homily_n upon_o matthew_n say_v chrysostome_n the_o excessive_a speech_n of_o chrysostome_n many_o say_v that_o they_o will_v and_o do_v covet_v

that_o thou_o may_v touch_v he_o do_v we_o not_o here_o understand_v that_o he_o attribute_v unto_o the_o matter_n of_o the_o sacrament_n that_o which_o belong_v unto_o the_o sign_n namely_o that_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n may_v be_v touch_v and_o see_v which_o who_o see_v not_o to_o be_v true_a only_o as_o touch_v the_o sign_n again_o in_o the_o same_o homily_n he_o reduce_v we_o as_o i_o

be_v signify_v by_o they_o howbeit_o in_o these_o day_n for_o the_o cause_n aforesaid_a perhaps_o outward_a adoration_n be_v not_o meet_v unless_o that_o oftentimes_o mention_n shall_v be_v make_v

wherein_o we_o be_v command_v to_o fly_v because_o each_o one_o of_o they_o must_v be_v use_v in_o his_o due_a time_n but_o the_o ground_n of_o their_o doctrine_n which_o affirm_v this_o precept_n to_o be_v abrogate_a be_v this_o to_o wit_n that_o they_o think_v that_o the_o fly_v away_o which_o have_v join_v with_o it_o the_o fear_n of_o death_n can_v set_v forth_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n howbeit_o they_o be_v deceive_v for_o the_o fear_n of_o death_n be_v not_o by_o itself_o faulty_a as_o we_o have_v declare_v and_o if_o they_o which_o fly_v away_o be_v godly_a they_o have_v special_o

themselves_o which_o if_o he_o do_v yet_o neither_o shall_v it_o then_o be_v faulty_a of_o itself_o but_o so_o far_o forth_o as_o they_o may_v cast_v a_o weak_a christian_a man_n into_o the_o danger_n of_o forswear_v or_o deprive_v he_o of_o christian_a faith_n which_o thing_n undoubted_o make_v not_o to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n since_o i_o have_v answer_v unto_o the_o two_o question_n propound_v i_o will_v not_o speak_v any_o further_a save_v that_o i_o perceive_v you_o may_v justly_o desire_v more_o namely_o that_o i_o shall_v answer_v unto_o their_o argument_n which_o with_o great_a

whole_o recite_v my_o argument_n out_o of_o the_o epistle_n to_o dardanus_n for_o i_o say_v see_v augustine_n dare_v not_o attribute_n to_o the_o soul_n of_o christ_n that_o it_o can_v be_v together_o and_o at_o one_o time_n both_o in_o hell_n and_o in_o paradise_n that_o be_v in_o heaven_n with_o the_o thief_n how_o shall_v we_o grant_v this_o unto_o the_o body_n that_o it_o be_v not_o a_o spirit_n as_o well_o as_o the_o soul_n this_o be_v my_o argument_n the_o which_o as_o yet_o remain_v strong_a and_o unanswered_a as_o touch_v theodoret_n you_o affirm_v theodoret_n gennadius_n give_v a_o good_a testimony_n of_o theodoret_n that_o he_o have_v the_o selfsame_o meaning_n when_o he_o say_v that_o bread_n do_v not_o change_v his_o nature_n which_o sense_n also_o the_o father_n have_v when_o they_o say_v that_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n do_v remain_v for_o they_o mean_v the_o property_n that_o be_v the_o accident_n and_o how_o smallie_o this_o also_o make_v for_o the_o purpose_n i_o refer_v you_o to_o those_o thing_n which_o we_o speak_v of_o gelasius_n for_o both_o of_o they_o deal_v against_o the_o same_o eutyches_n and_o they_o shall_v have_v conclude_v nothing_o if_o for_o substance_n or_o the_o nature_n of_o bread_n which_o they_o say_v remain_v they_o understand_v accident_n and_o so_o do_v we_o expound_v theodoret_n as_o he_o agree_v with_o all_o the_o other_o father_n by_o who_o undoutedlie_o the_o bread_n be_v retain_v in_o the_o eucharist_n you_o will_v afterward_o grant_v origin_n to_o origin_n that_o those_o be_v true_a matter_n which_o origin_n have_v in_o his_o fragment_n upon_o matthew_n chapter_n 15._o even_o that_o the_o matter_n of_o this_o bread_n go_v into_o the_o draught_n and_o you_o say_v that_o he_o interprete_v himself_o while_o he_o will_v we_o that_o we_o shall_v not_o have_v respect_n unto_o the_o flesh_n and_o blood_n but_o shall_v receive_v the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o word_n and_o so_o you_o infer_v that_o this_o sign_n be_v turn_v in_o evil_a man_n into_o ash_n the_o holiness_n as_o cyprian_n speak_v pass_v away_o i_o marvel_v that_o you_o make_v a_o distinction_n here_o of_o good_a and_o evil_a person_n see_v origin_n speak_v general_o of_o the_o matter_n of_o this_o bread_n and_o mean_v to_o show_v that_o the_o word_n of_o christ_n be_v true_a when_o he_o say_v that_o which_o enter_v into_o the_o mouth_n defile_v not_o man_n but_o be_v receive_v into_o the_o belly_n and_o pass_v into_o the_o draught_n he_o have_v indeed_o move_v a_o question_n how_o that_o may_v be_v true_a as_o touch_v the_o bread_n of_o the_o lord_n that_o it_o pass_v into_o the_o draught_n his_o answer_n be_v that_o this_o must_v be_v understand_v as_o touch_v the_o matter_n but_o not_o as_o touch_v sanctification_n but_o you_o seem_v to_o affirm_v this_o to_o be_v only_o understand_v concern_v evil_a man_n and_o you_o make_v that_o like_a unto_o it_o which_o cyprian_n speak_v of_o the_o conversion_n into_o ash_n where_o i_o demand_v of_o you_o what_o that_o be_v which_o be_v turn_v into_o ash_n not_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n for_o that_o shall_v be_v wicked_a to_o affirm_v not_o accident_n unless_o you_o will_v have_v they_o to_o breed_v a_o substance_n i_o know_v you_o will_v fly_v unto_o miracle_n that_o be_v that_o god_n shall_v create_v a_o new_a matter_n or_o cause_v the_o old_a to_o come_v again_o but_o such_o thing_n do_v origin_n never_o imagine_v who_o full_a meaning_n you_o have_v already_o hear_v of_o i_o and_o that_o which_o you_o allege_v out_o of_o cyprian_a be_v a_o miracle_n and_o of_o he_o it_o may_v proper_o be_v say_v that_o there_o be_v a_o conversion_n into_o ash_n because_o he_o retain_v bread_n which_o by_o a_o miracle_n may_v be_v

if_o you_o will_v have_v a_o new_a matter_n to_o be_v create_v then_o must_v you_o not_o make_v it_o a_o conversion_n but_o a_o creation_n and_o final_o as_o i_o have_v say_v the_o sentence_n of_o origin_n be_v universal_a respect_v as_o well_o the_o good_a as_o the_o evil_n ireneus_fw-la to_o ireneus_fw-la also_o to_o irenaeus_n when_o he_o say_v the_o bread_n wherein_o there_o be_v a_o

and_o likewise_o the_o cup_n which_o be_v of_o the_o creature_n that_o be_v among_o we_o he_o confess_v to_o be_v his_o blood_n you_o answer_v that_o all_o these_o thing_n must_v be_v refer_v to_o

the_o body_n of_o christ_n and_o that_o the_o same_o creature_n remain_v not_o in_o such_o sort_n as_o it_o be_v before_o in_o your_o answer_n you_o commit_v two_o fault_n because_o first_o you_o satisfy_v not_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o word_n for_o irenaeus_n most_o plain_o pronounce_v touch_v that_o over_o which_o thanks_o be_v give_v that_o both_o it_o be_v bread_n and_o also_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n for_o in_o that_o thanks_o be_v give_v it_o note_v the_o time_n past_a and_o nevertheless_o he_o call_v it_o bread_n as_o yet_o again_o you_o pass_v in_o silence_n that_o similitude_n which_o i_o most_o of_o all_o urge_v as_o bread_n have_v receive_v a_o call_n from_o the_o earth_n be_v no_o more_o common_a bread_n but_o be_v become_v the_o eucharist_n consist_v of_o two_o thing_n
