our_o saviour_n do_v not_o say_v this_o be_v wine_n s._n paul_n do_v not_o contradict_v our_o saviour_n nor_o do_v our_o saviour_n contradict_v himself_o why_o then_o do_v they_o call_v it_o bread_n and_o wine_n the_o answer_n be_v obvious_a not_o because_o it_o be_v bread_n &_o wine_n then_o but_o because_o it_o be_v bread_n &_o wine_n before_o nothing_o be_v more_o familiar_a in_o scripture_n than_o this_o way_n of_o speak_v s._n john_n in_o the_o 9_o ch_z of_o his_o gospel_n relate_v the_o miraculous_a cure_n of_o the_o man_n that_o be_v bear_v blind_a tell_v we_o in_o the_o 7._o v._n he_o go_v his_o way_n &_o wash_v &_o come_v see_v and_o yet_o afterward_o in_o the_o 17._o v._n he_o call_v he_o blind_a and_o tell_v we_o what_o they_o say_v to_o the_o blind_a man_n again_o why_o do_v the_o scripture_n call_v he_o blind_a after_o his_o sight_n be_v restore_v the_o reason_n be_v not_o because_o he_o be_v blind_a then_o but_o because_o he_o be_v blind_a before_o turn_v to_o the_o 7._o ch_z of_o s._n luke_n and_o in_o the_o 22._o v._n you_o will_v read_v these_o word_n of_o our_o saviour_n the_o blind_a see_v the_o lame_a walk_n the_o deaf_a hear_v he_o say_v they_o see_v and_o yet_o he_o call_v they_o blind_a he_o say_v they_o walk_v &_o yet_o he_o call_v they_o lame_a he_o say_v they_o hear_v &_o yet_o he_o call_v they_o deaf_a why_o do_v he_o call_v they_o blind_a lame_a &_o deaf_a when_o he_o himself_o bear_v witness_v that_o they_o see_v walk_v &_o hear_v the_o answer_n lie_v before_o you_o he_o call_v they_o so_o not_o because_o they_o be_v so_o then_o but_o because_o they_o be_v so_o before_o in_o the_o 2._o ch_z of_o s._n john_n the_o substantial_a change_n of_o water_n into_o wine_n be_v much_o the_o same_o as_o transubstantiation_n &_o therefore_o the_o example_n be_v fit_a for_o the_o purpose_n in_o the_o 9_o v._o you_o read_v that_o the_o ruler_n of_o the_o feast_n taste_v the_o water_n that_o be_v make_v wine_n you_o can_v but_o observe_v how_o plain_o the_o scripture_n say_v it_o be_v make_v wine_n and_o at_o the_o same_o time_n plain_o call_v it_o water_n will_v any_o man_n deny_v this_o miracle_n and_o say_v it_o be_v not_o real_o &_o true_o wine_n because_o the_o scripture_n call_v it_o water_n after_o it_o be_v make_v wine_n no_o no_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o when_o the_o miracle_n be_v do_v the_o scripture_n call_v it_o water_n not_o because_o it_o be_v water_n then_o but_o because_o it_o be_v water_n before_o read_v the_o 7._o ch_z of_o exodus_fw-la you_o will_v find_v in_o the_o 10._o v._o aaron_n cast_v down_o his_o rod_n before_o pharaoh_n &_o it_o become_v a_o serpent_n in_o the_o 11._o v._o the_o magician_n of_o egypt_n also_o do_v in_o like_a manner_n &_o in_o the_o 12._o v._n they_o cast_v down_o every_o man_n his_o rod_n but_o aaron_n rod_n swallow_v up_o their_o rod_n pause_v here_o one_o moment_n the_o scripture_n plain_o tell_v we_o that_o these_o rod_n be_v all_o change_v into_o serpent_n and_o yet_o after_o the_o change_n the_o scripture_n call_v they_o rod_n not_o because_o they_o be_v rod_n then_o but_o because_o they_o be_v rod_n before_o if_o any_o of_o our_o adversary_n have_v a_o mind_n to_o say_v these_o rod_n be_v not_o change_v into_o serpent_n that_o christ_n never_o change_v water_n into_o wine_n that_o when_o he_o tell_v s._n john_n disciple_n the_o blind_a see_v the_o lame_a walk_n the_o deaf_a hear_v he_o send_v they_o back_o to_o their_o master_n with_o so_o many_o lie_v in_o their_o mouth_n if_o they_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o say_v our_o saviour_n never_o cure_v the_o man_n bear_v blind_a then_o they_o may_v have_v the_o same_o pretence_n to_o magnify_v this_o trifle_a argument_n but_o if_o they_o be_v the_o man_n which_o i_o will_v willing_o believe_v they_o be_v if_o they_o be_v candid_a &_o sincere_a if_o they_o submit_v their_o judgement_n fair_o to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n as_o it_o be_v plain_o write_v in_o their_o own_o translation_n of_o of_o the_o bible_n they_o can_v but_o ingenuous_o confess_v that_o transubstantiation_n be_v not_o any_o way_n repugnant_a to_o plain_a word_n of_o holy_a scripture_n but_o that_o scripture_n itself_o contute_n the_o best_a of_o all_o their_o argument_n which_o they_o produce_v against_o it_o i_o will_v not_o say_v it_o be_v ignorance_n but_o i_o be_o sure_a it_o be_v either_o that_o or_o want_v of_o ingenuity_n which_o make_v man_n argue_v that_o because_o there_o be_v some_o metaphor_n in_o scripture_n therefore_o the_o word_n of_o consecration_n be_v a_o metaphor_n or_o figure_n no_o man_n deny_v but_o that_o we_o often_o meet_v with_o metaphor_n in_o scripture_n but_o then_o either_o the_o common_a phrase_n of_o speak_v evident_o mark_n they_o out_o or_o else_o they_o be_v explaind_v by_o what_o forerun_v or_o follow_v the_o expression_n &_o so_o explaind_v that_o no_o judicious_a reader_n doubt_v the_o meaning_n of_o they_o when_o in_o the_o 6._o of_o s._n john_n our_o saviour_n say_v i_o be_o the_o bread_n of_o life_n he_o add_v he_o that_o come_v to_o i_o shall_v never_o hunger_n when_o in_o the_o 8._o he_o say_v i_o be_o the_o light_n of_o the_o world_n he_o add_v he_o that_o follow_v i_o shall_v have_v the_o light_n of_o life_n when_o in_o the_o 10._o he_o say_v i_o be_o the_o door_n he_o add_v by_o i_o if_o any_o man_n enter_v he_o shall_v be_v save_v when_o in_o the_o 14._o he_o say_v i_o be_o the_o way_n he_o add_v no_o man_n come_v to_o my_o father_n but_o by_o i_o when_o in_o the_o 15._o he_o say_v i_o be_o the_o vine_n he_o add_v he_o that_o abide_v in_o i_o bring_v forth_o much_o fruit_n so_o when_o s._n paul_n tell_v the_o ephesian_n 5._o ch_z 30._o v._n we_o be_v member_n of_o his_o body_n of_o his_o flesh_n &_o of_o his_o bone_n he_o explicare_v it_o in_o the_o 23._o v._n that_o this_o body_n which_o christ_n be_v the_o head_n and_o saviour_n of_o be_v the_o church_n and_o when_o he_o mention_n flesh_n &_o bone_n he_o only_o carry_v on_o the_o metaphor_n by_o a_o mysterious_a allusion_n to_o the_o 2._o of_o genesis_n because_o as_o eve_n body_n draw_v its_o be_v from_o the_o side_n of_o the_o first_o adam_n when_o he_o sleep_v in_o paradise_n so_o also_o the_o church_n derive_v the_o grace_n which_o animate_v it_o from_o the_o side_n the_o flesh_n &_o bone_n of_o the_o last_o adam_n when_o he_o sleep_v his_o mortal_a sleep_n upon_o the_o cross_n the_o verse_n which_o follow_v lead_v direct_o to_o the_o place_n and_o give_v we_o word_n for_o word_n the_o 24._o v._o of_o the_o 2._o of_o genesis_n that_o we_o may_v evident_o know_v the_o sense_n and_o ground_n of_o the_o comparison_n in_o the_o same_o manner_n no_o less_o care_n be_v take_v in_o the_o 1._o to_o the_o cor._n 10._o ch_n &_o 4._o v._o to_o explicate_v these_o word_n that_o rock_n be_v christ_n s._n paul_n seem_v to_o write_v with_o as_o much_o caution_n as_o if_o he_o have_v forseen_v how_o much_o these_o word_n will_v be_v abuse_v by_o those_o who_o now_o compare_v they_o with_o the_o word_n of_o consecration_n lest_o any_o man_n may_v think_v that_o when_o he_o say_v that_o rock_n be_v christ_n he_o take_v the_o word_n rock_n in_o the_o literal_a sense_n he_o plain_o say_v he_o speak_v of_o spiritual_a meat_n &_o spiritual_a drink_n he_o say_v in_o the_o same_o verse_n they_o drink_v of_o that_o spiritual_a rock_n which_o follow_v they_o and_o that_o rock_n that_o be_v that_o spiritual_a rock_n be_v christ_n what_o can_v a_o man_n say_v more_o to_o acquaint_v the_o world_n with_o the_o true_a meaning_n of_o his_o word_n &_o give_v we_o a_o assurance_n that_o it_o be_v not_o literal_a but_o only_o figurative_a &_o metaphorical_a some_o people_n be_v willing_a to_o believe_v that_o because_o christ_n body_n &_o blood_n be_v only_o metaphorical_o break_v &_o shed_v for_o we_o in_o the_o sacrament_n therefore_o they_o be_v not_o real_o his_o body_n &_o blood_n as_o if_o because_o one_o word_n be_v figurative_a in_o a_o sentence_n therefore_o all_o the_o rest_n must_v be_v so_o too_o mere_o for_o keep_v it_o company_n or_o as_o if_o we_o be_v oblige_v to_o believe_v that_o because_o christ_n sit_v at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o his_o father_n be_v a_o mere_a metaphor_n therefore_o he_o do_v not_o real_o ascend_v to_o heaven_n when_o in_o s._n luke_n &_o in_o the_o 1_o cor._n we_o read_v these_o word_n this_o cup_n be_v the_o new_a testament_n in_o my_o blood_n the_o cup_n be_v one_o metaphor_n the_o testament_n be_v another_o but_o hence_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v that_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n be_v mere_o metaphorical_a for_o in_o the_o common_a
