in_o the_o obsequiousness_n of_o faith_n what!_o whether_o we_o know_v this_o to_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o christ_n word_n or_o not_o and_o thus_o we_o shall_v be_v bind_v to_o submit_v to_o every_o

unless_o he_o have_v then_o tell_v his_o disciple_n that_o there_o be_v to_o be_v another_o supernatural_a manner_n of_o existence_n of_o the_o same_o body_n concern_v which_o their_o sense_n be_v

adhere_v to_o the_o judgement_n of_o their_o sense_n concern_v the_o reality_n of_o christ_n body_n since_o therefore_o christ_n himself_o appeal_v to_o it_o the_o apostle_n make_v use_v of_o it_o without_o any_o caution_n or_o limitation_n we_o have_v great_a reason_n to_o rely_v still_o on_o the_o judgement_n of_o our_o sense_n concern_v the_o same_o object_n viz._n the_o body_n of_o

though_o to_o sense_n he_o seem_v nothing_o but_o man._n do_v we_o ever_o pretend_v to_o judge_v of_o christ_n divinity_n by_o our_o sense_n how_o then_o can_v this_o be_v pertinent_a when_o our_o only_a dispute_n be_v about_o judge_v his_o body_n and_o the_o substance_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n by_o they_o and_o yet_o the_o sense_n be_v of_o great_a use_n as_o to_o the_o proof_n of_o his_o divinity_n by_o the_o miracle_n which_o he_o wrought_v which_o if_o they_o have_v be_v like_o the_o pretend_a miracle_n in_o transubstantiation_n can_v have_v convince_v no_o man_n because_o they_o can_v never_o see_v they_o 2._o he_o believe_v the_o holy_a ghost_n descend_v on_o our_o saviour_n though_o sense_n or_o reason_n can_v discover_v it_o to_o be_v nothing_o but_o a_o dove_n if_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n to_o judge_v otherwise_o the_o judgement_n of_o sense_n be_v to_o be_v follow_v but_o since_o the_o scripture_n declare_v it_o be_v the_o holy_a ghost_n descend_v as_o a_o dove_n we_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o question_v that_o revelation_n for_o we_o do_v not_o pretend_v that_o our_o sense_n be_v so_o far_o judge_n of_o divine_a appearance_n as_o to_o exclude_v the_o

thus_o we_o do_v not_o deny_v the_o possibility_n of_o a_o appearance_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n under_o bread_n and_o wine_n if_o god_n think_v fit_a any_o more_o than_o under_o a_o dove_n and_o in_o this_o case_n we_o do_v not_o pretend_v that_o our_o sense_n can_v exclude_v the_o presence_n of_o a_o spirit_n under_o the_o element_n but_o that_o be_v very_o different_a from_o the_o present_a

many_o other_o and_o what_o follow_v from_o hence_o but_o that_o spiritual_a invisible_a substance_n may_v be_v under_o the_o appearance_n of_o body_n and_o that_o our_o sense_n can_v be_v judge_n of_o they_o which_o be_v not_o our_o question_n but_o whether_o body_n can_v be_v so_o present_a after_o the_o manner_n of_o spirit_n as_o to_o lose_v all_o the_o natural_a property_n of_o body_n and_o whether_o a_o material_a substance_n can_v be_v lose_v under_o all_o the_o accident_n proper_a to_o it_o so_o as_o our_o sense_n can_v be_v proper_a judge_n of_o one_o by_o the_o other_o but_o our_o author_n seem_v to_o grant_v this_o in_o a_o natural_a way_n of_o the_o existence_n of_o a_o body_n but_o he_o say_v christ_n give_v to_o his_o body_n a_o supernatural_a manner_n of_o
