axiom_n which_o be_v purposely_o erect_v as_o stronghold_n to_o cover_v and_o shelter_v the_o absurd_a doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n and_o especial_o that_o of_o transubstantiation_n by_o

a_o one_o as_o it_o be_v to_o conclude_v reason_n be_v that_o whereby_o we_o choose_v our_o religion_n and_o judge_v whether_o it_o be_v a_o revelation_n which_o come_v from_o god_n and_o whereby_o

which_o he_o himself_o give_v on_o purpose_n to_o know_v it_o by_o but_o can_v we_o possible_o behold_v hand_n and_o foot_n in_o a_o wafer_n can_v we_o handle_v and_o see_v flesh_n and_o bone_n in_o

and_o bone_n may_v have_v be_v the_o mark_n as_o well_o but_o i_o be_v hereby_o willing_a to_o show_v that_o as_o scripture_n be_v against_o transubstantiation_n so_o the_o primitive_a light_n of_o reason_n be_v against_o it_o too_o the_o unwritten_a as_o well_o as_o the_o write_a word_n of_o god_n and_o that_o as_o transubstantiation_n tend_v to_o the_o destruction_n of_o all_o that_o be_v man_n or_o christian_n in_o we_o so_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n common_a sense_n reason_n christianity_n and_o all_o that_o be_v within_o we_o do_v rise_v up_o in_o opposition_n against_o so_o

but_o it_o signify_v as_o legion_n do_v many_o thousand_o in_o one_o for_o which_o reason_n it_o be_v very_o hard_a to_o draw_v they_o up_o or_o put_v they_o into_o any_o good_a order_n which_o however_o i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o do_v under_o these_o two_o head_n first_o of_o intellectual_a absurdity_n and_o second_o of_o practical_a absurdity_n 1._o the_o first_o head_n be_v of_o intellectual_a absurdity_n by_o which_o i_o mean_v such_o falsehood_n as_o be_v repugnant_a to_o the_o common_a reason_n and_o understanding_n of_o mankind_n and_o i_o purposely_o wave_v all_o those_o absurdity_n of_o transubstantiation_n which_o contradict_v our_o sense_n because_o if_o a_o man_n be_v bend_v upon_o it_o and_o will_v outface_v i_o out_o of_o all_o all_o my_o sense_n as_o i_o can_v believe_v he_o so_o i_o can_v disprove_v he_o if_o he_o say_v the_o sun_n do_v not_o shine_v when_o at_o the_o same_o time_n i_o be_o real_o dazzle_v with_o the_o light_n and_o brightness_n of_o it_o i_o can_v only_o say_v as_o i_o find_v and_o appeal_v to_o his_o own_o sense_n and_o desire_v he_o to_o do_v i_o right_n in_o case_n a_o romanist_n shall_v bear_v i_o down_o that_o the_o bible_n in_o my_o hand_n be_v not_o a_o book_n but_o the_o live_a judge_n of_o controversy_n pope_n innocent_a the_o eleven_o and_o all_o the_o bishop_n of_o the_o christian_a world_n sit_v together_o in_o council_n i_o can_v help_v myself_o especial_o if_o he_o pretend_v to_o have_v change_v the_o book_n into_o such_o and_o so_o many_o live_a man_n by_o say_v some_o powerful_o charm_a word_n over_o it_o and_o further_o if_o in_o condescension_n and_o compliance_n with_o the_o frailty_n of_o human_a sense_n he_o likewise_o acknowledge_v that_o it_o look_v like_o a_o print_a and_o bind_v book_n and_o be_v clothe_v with_o all_o the_o accident_n and_o property_n of_o a_o book_n and_o that_o one_o part_n of_o the_o enchantment_n lie_v in_o this_o that_o though_o in_o all_o appearance_n it_o be_v a_o book_n yet_o it_o be_v in_o reality_n pope_n innocent_a the_o eleven_o and_o a_o assembly_n of_o live_a bishop_n in_o this_o case_n i_o can_v use_v my_o sense_n because_o he_o have_v already_o foreclose_v the_o use_n and_o evidence_n of_o they_o but_o if_o

most_o close_a and_o intimate_v that_o can_v be_v and_o consequent_o the_o concomitancy_n must_v be_v the_o strict_a nay_o the_o very_a reason_n ground_n bottom_n and_o foundation_n of_o the_o rule_n of_o concomitancy_n be_v this_o because_o from_o two_o single_a thing_n real_o join_v together_o there_o result_v one_o compound_v the_o union_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o concomitancy_n because_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o the_o same_o thing_n to_o be_v divide_v from_o itself_o so_o that_o if_o two_o thing_n which_o be_v real_o join_v together_o must_v always_o of_o necessity_n keep_v company_n together_o than_o it_o be_v utter_o impossible_a for_o one_o and_o the_o same_o thing_n to_o straggle_v from_o itself_o but_o it_o must_v ever_o be_v its_o own_o individual_a companion_n from_o these_o premise_n i_o say_v that_o christ_n body_n have_v be_v in_o heaven_n these_o 1600_o year_n if_o in_o that_o space_n of_o time_n it_o have_v be_v upon_o altar_n here_o on_o earth_n than_o it_o have_v not_o be_v at_o the_o same_o time_n where_o it_o have_v be_v but_o it_o have_v break_v the_o rule_n of_o concomitancy_n and_o have_v strange_o straggle_v from_o itself_o which_o be_v impossible_a q._n e._n d._n i_o have_v study_v with_o all_o the_o application_n of_o mind_n of_o which_o i_o be_o capable_a to_o forecast_v in_o my_o thought_n what_o fault_n the_o papist_n will_v find_v with_o any_o of_o the_o former_a reason_n or_o with_o this_o last_o in_o particular_a and_o can_v foresee_v nor_o imagine_v any_o for_o though_o we_o shall_v allow_v christ_n body_n to_o be_v independent_a of_o place_n or_o to_o have_v any_o other_o impossible_a prerogative_n which_o they_o listen_v to_o invent_v yet_o still_o this_o body_n must_v be_v subject_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o concomitancy_n because_o they_o themselves_o be_v force_v to_o make_v use_n of_o it_o to_o prove_v that_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n be_v under_o the_o species_n of_o wine_n and_o that_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n be_v under_o the_o species_n of_o bread_n and_o it_o be_v the_o only_a proof_n they_o have_v now_o if_o of_o necessity_n the_o body_n must_v be_v by_o concomitancy_n where_o the_o blood_n be_v then_o by_o a_o antecedent_n necessity_n the_o blood_n must_v be_v where_o the_o blood_n be_v for_o the_o blood_n be_v be_v there_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o body_n be_v there_o likewise_o so_o the_o body_n be_v under_o the_o form_n of_o bread_n be_v the_o reason_n that_o the_o blood_n be_v there_o also_o but_o then_o to_o be_v sure_o the_o body_n must_v be_v there_o from_o whence_o as_o i_o show_v before_o it_o undeniable_o follow_v that_o christ_n body_n be_v only_o in_o heaven_n or_o else_o it_o be_v not_o where_o it_o be_v which_o overthrow_v the_o very_a foundation_n of_o concomitancy_n 2._o the_o second_o argument_n shall_v be_v draw_v from_o their_o form_n of_o consecration_n for_o this_o be_v my_o body_n be_v the_o word_n of_o our_o saviour_n from_o whence_o they_o have_v wrest_v the_o doctrine_n of_o transubstantiation_n now_o to_o give_v they_o a_o sampler_n of_o their_o own_o and_o to_o show_v they_o how_o they_o themselves_o interpret_v scripture_n i_o say_v that_o it_o appear_v by_o the_o very_a word_n of_o consecration_n that_o the_o priest_n himself_o be_v also_o transubstantiate_v for_o the_o body_n be_v christ_n and_o yet_o the_o priest_n say_v it_o be_v my_o body_n which_o can_v be_v true_a unless_o the_o priest_n and_o christ_n be_v the_o same_o and_o that_o can_v be_v but_o by_o a_o admirable_a change_n and_o conversion_n which_o the_o holy_a catholic_n church_n have_v convenient_o and_o proper_o name_v transubstantiation_n no_o say_v the_o papist_n in_o great_a anger_n there_o be_v no_o such_o change_n at_o all_o for_o the_o priest_n only_o stand_v for_o christ_n and_o gerens_fw-la and_o sect._n 82._o personam_fw-la suscipiunt_fw-la personam_fw-la gerens_fw-la sustain_v his_o person_n he_o

and_o not_o his._n to_o which_o i_o again_o reply_n why_o this_o be_v the_o very_a exposition_n of_o these_o word_n of_o our_o saviour_n for_o which_o the_o heretic_n have_v all_o along_o be_v burn_v namely_o this_o bread_n stand_v for_o my_o body_n and_o represent_v it_o in_o this_o action_n it_o be_v instead_o of_o my_o body_n and_o bear_v the_o character_n of_o it_o and_o you_o be_v not_o so_o
