the_o question_n now_o be_v whether_o such_o a_o supposition_n in_o the_o sacrament_n do_v justify_v that_o adoration_n our_o author_n say_v he_o account_v it_o most_o damnable_a to_o worship_n or_o

that_o i_o shall_v not_o repeat_v they_o and_o catharinus_n a_o divine_a of_o note_n in_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n confess_v it_o be_v idolatry_n to_o worship_v a_o unconsecrated_a host_n

fix_a principle_n of_o reason_n in_o mankind_n concern_v the_o nature_n and_o property_n of_o body_n for_o 1._o we_o must_v still_o suppose_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n to_o be_v the_o very_a same_o individual_a body_n which_o suffer_v upon_o the_o cross_n but_o if_o it_o have_v no_o extension_n of_o part_n and_o be_v reckon_v independent_a upon_o place_n it_o cease_v to_o be_v a_o body_n it_o be_v grant_v that_o after_o a_o natural_a way_n of_o existence_n a_o body_n can_v be_v in_o more_o place_n than_o one_o but_o let_v the_o way_n of_o existence_n be_v what_o it_o will_v if_o it_o be_v a_o body_n it_o must_v be_v finite_a if_o finite_a it_o must_v be_v limit_v and_o circumscribe_v if_o it_o be_v circumscribe_v within_o one_o place_n it_o can_v be_v in_o more_o place_n for_o that_o be_v to_o make_v it_o circumscribe_v and_o not_o circumscribe_v undivided_a from_o itself_o and_o divide_v from_o itself_o at_o the_o same_o time_n which_o be_v a_o manifest_a contradiction_n which_o do_v not_o depend_v only_o on_o quantity_n or_o extension_n but_o upon_o the_o essential_a unity_n of_o a_o body_n 2._o if_o it_o be_v possible_a for_o a_o body_n to_o be_v in_o several_a place_n by_o a_o supernatural_a existence_n why_o may_v not_o the_o same_o body_n be_v in_o several_a place_n by_o a_o natural_a existence_n be_v it_o not_o because_o extension_n and_o circumscription_n be_v so_o necessary_a to_o it_o that_o in_o a_o natural_a way_n it_o can_v be_v but_o in_o one_o place_n then_o it_o follow_v that_o these_o be_v essential_a property_n of_o body_n so_o that_o no_o true_a

that_o make_v it_o still_o a_o body_n after_o this_o supernatural_a way_n of_o existence_n etc._n etc._n if_o it_o lose_v extension_n and_o dependency_n on_o place_n if_o it_o be_v only_o a_o

can_v it_o be_v a_o body_n if_o with_o quantity_n how_o be_v it_o possible_a to_o be_v without_o extension_n 6._o this_o confound_v all_o the_o differenc_n of_o great_a and_o less_o as_o well_o as_o of_o distance_n and_o nearness_n for_o upon_o this_o supposition_n a_o thing_n real_o great_a may_v be_v contain_v within_o a_o less_o for_o the_o whole_a original_a body_n of_o christ_n with_o all_o its_o part_n may_v be_v bring_v within_o the_o compass_n of_o a_o waser_n and_o the_o whole_a be_v in_o every_o part_n without_o any_o distance_n between_o head_n and_o foot_n 7._o this_o make_v christ_n to_o have_v but_o one_o body_n and_o yet_o to_o have_v as_o many_o body_n as_o there_o be_v consecrate_v host_n no_o say_v our_o author_n this_o supernatural_a manner_n of_o existence_n be_v without_o danger_n of_o multiply_v his_o body_n or_o make_v as_o many_o christ_n as_o altar_n p._n 11._o but_o how_o this_o can_v be_v be_v past_o all_o human_a understanding_n for_o every_o consecration_n have_v its_o effect_n which_o be_v suppose_v to_o be_v the_o conversion_n of_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o bread_n into_o the_o body_n of_o christ._n now_o when_o a_o priest_n at_o london_n convert_v the_o bread_n into_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n there_o he_o do_v it_o not_o into_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n at_o york_n but_o the_o priest_n there_o do_v it_o therefore_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n at_o london_n be_v different_a from_o that_o at_o york_n or_o else_o the_o conversion_n at_o london_n will_v be_v into_o the_o body_n as_o at_o york_n but_o if_o not_o what_o be_v the_o substantial_a term_n of_o this_o substantial_a change_n where_o nothing_o but_o a_o accidental_a mode_n do_v follow_v if_o there_o be_v any_o such_o term_n whether_o that_o must_v not_o be_v a_o

have_v no_o particular_a subsistence_n of_o its_o own_o to_o be_v the_o subject_a of_o a_o substantial_a change_n for_o this_o be_v the_o condition_n of_o christ_n body_n whatever_o its_o manner_n of_o existence_n be_v after_o the_o hypostatical_a union_n to_o the_o divine_a nature_n for_o when_o bellarmin_n petavius_n and_o other_o of_o their_o great_a divine_n 3._o undertake_v against_o nestorius_n to_o explain_v the_o hypostatical_a union_n they_o tell_v we_o it_o consist_v in_o this_o that_o the_o human_a nature_n lose_v its_o proper_a subsistence_n and_o be_v assume_v into_o the_o subsistence_n of_o the_o divine_a nature_n from_o whence_o i_o infer_v that_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n have_v no_o proper_a subsistence_n of_o its_o own_o there_o can_v be_v no_o substantial_a change_n into_o that_o which_o have_v no_o proper_a subsistence_n but_o into_o that_o which_o have_v and_o consequent_o the_o change_n must_v be_v into_o the_o divine_a nature_n principal_o from_o whence_o it_o will_v follow_v the_o element_n lose_v their_o subsistence_n upon_o consecration_n the_o divinity_n must_v be_v unite_v hypostatical_o to_o they_o as_o to_o the_o human_a nature_n and_o so_o there_o will_v be_v as_o many_o hypostatical_a union_n as_o there_o be_v consecration_n and_o so_o this_o doctrine_n not_o only_o confound_v sense_n and_o reason_n but_o the_o mystery_n of_o christ_n incarnation_n too_o which_o i_o think_v be_v sufficient_a for_o this_o head_n vi_o of_o merit_n and_o good_a work_n for_o the_o true_a state_v this_o controversy_n we_o be_v to_o observe_v 1._o that_o we_o do_v not_o charge_v those_o of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n that_o they_o believe_v christ_n death_n and_o passion_n to_o be_v ineffectual_a and_o insignificant_a and_o that_o they_o have_v no_o dependence_n on_o the_o merit_n of_o his_o suffering_n or_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n for_o attain_v salvation_n but_o that_o they_o be_v to_o be_v save_v only_o by_o their_o own_o merit_n and_o good_a work_n as_o the_o misrepresenter_n say_v pag._n 12._o 2._o we_o do_v not_o charge_v they_o with_o deny_v the_o necessity_n of_o divine_a grace_n in_o order_n to_o merit_n or_o with_o assert_v that_o they_o can_v merit_v independent_o thereupon_o 3._o we_o do_v by_o no_o mean_n dispute_v about_o the_o necessity_n of_o good_a work_n in_o order_n to_o the_o reward_n of_o another_o life_n or_o assert_v that_o christ_n merit_n will_v save_v man_n without_o work_v out_o their_o own_o salvation_n but_o do_v firm_o believe_v that_o god_n will_v judge_v man_n according_a to_o their_o work_n the_o question_n than_o be_v whether_o the_o good_a work_n of_o a_o just_a man_n as_o our_o author_n express_v it_o be_v true_o meritorious_a of_o eternal_a life_n which_o he_o affirm_v but_o qualify_v with_o say_v that_o they_o proceed_v from_o grace_n and_o that_o 13._o through_o god_n goodness_n and_o promise_n they_o be_v true_o meritorious_a but_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n

here_o then_o lie_v the_o point_n in_o difference_n 1._o whether_o such_o good_a work_n can_v be_v say_v to_o be_v true_o meritorious_a 2._o whether_o those_o who_o deny_v it_o deserve_v a_o
