his_o church_n there_o be_v many_o great_a difference_n even_o between_o protestant_n themselves_o it_o be_v no_o wonder_n therefore_o if_o there_o be_v as_o many_o between_o protestant_n and_o

the_o people_n in_o both_o kind_n as_o for_o that_o of_o transubstantiation_n he_o will_v have_v do_v well_o to_o have_v tell_v we_o in_o what_o supposition_n he_o mean_v to_o take_v the_o word_n in_o

he_o talk_v of_o in_o this_o treatise_n he_o shall_v have_v hold_v to_o his_o point_n and_o not_o impugn_a what_o he_o suppose_v but_o if_o he_o suppose_v no_o such_o real_a or_o substantial_a presence_n of_o christ_n body_n and_o under_o the_o name_n of_o transubstantiation_n fight_v express_o against_o the_o real_a presence_n through_o his_o whole_a discourse_n as_o it_o be_v evident_a he_o do_v and_o therefore_o aught_o to_o have_v call_v it_o a_o discourse_n against_o the_o real_a presence_n and_o its_o consequence_n transubstantiation_n and_o not_o a_o discourse_n only_o against_o transubstantiation_n then_o the_o difference_n be_v not_o only_o as_o he_o will_v make_v it_o with_o the_o catholic_n but_o with_o the_o lutheran_n also_o and_o those_o of_o his_o own_o

no_o less_o true_o than_o catholic_o do_v but_o however_o he_o compose_v this_o difference_n with_o they_o yet_o the_o catholic_n as_o for_o their_o tenent_n do_v not_o think_v only_o as_o he_o say_v

on_o their_o side_n and_o for_o the_o other_o point_n viz._n the_o administration_n of_o the_o sacrament_n in_o both_o kind_n they_o be_v sure_a that_o neither_o he_o nor_o any_o of_o his_o party_n
