of_o his_o mercy_n will_v decide_v it_o notwithstanding_o i_o will_v endeavour_n too_o make_v it_o plain_a when_o i_o shall_v come_v too_o speak_v of_o the_o lord_n supper_n now_o that_o i_o may_v

the_o question_n of_o the_o real_a presence_n of_o the_o thing_n signify_v must_v necessary_o be_v restrain_v to_o some_o real_a be_v now_o as_o i_o suppose_v no_o other_o can_v be_v put_v but_o

type_n signification_n similitude_n dark_a speech_n and_o mystical_a symbolle_n and_o by_o such_o like_a name_n question_n what_o do_v thou_o therefore_o conclude_v of_o all_o these_o answer_n that_o neither_o the_o thing_n signify_v can_v be_v say_v of_o the_o sign_n nor_o the_o sign_n of_o the_o thing_n signify_v otherwise_o then_o by_o translation_n and_o that_o that_o be_v so_o usual_a in_o the_o scripture_n as_o that_o they_o never_o in_o a_o manner_n speak_v otherwise_o 232._o question_n but_o the_o supper_n of_o the_o lord_n have_v a_o certain_a proper_a and_o special_a form_n which_o make_v that_o the_o same_o be_v not_o too_o be_v think_v of_o that_o which_o be_v to_o be_v think_v of_o the_o other_o sacrament_n answer_n albeit_o that_o this_o special_o belong_v unto_o those_o confutation_n which_o i_o will_v differ_v to_o their_o proper_a place_n notwithstanding_o that_o the_o force_n of_o the_o former_a argument_n may_v appear_v more_o clear_o go_v too_o let_v we_o speak_v somewhat_o also_o now_o concern_v this_o matter_n indeed_o i_o grant_v that_o the_o supper_n of_o the_o lord_n have_v his_o peculiar_a form_n whereby_o it_o differ_v from_o the_o rest_n aswell_o old_a as_o new_a sacrament_n but_o to_o what_o end_n be_v this_o for_o these_o form_z which_o be_v call_v discern_v form_z because_o they_o do_v discern_v the_o special_n of_o the_o same_o general_a they_o do_v not_o take_v away_o the_o constitute_n in_o which_o of_o necessity_n all_o the_o special_o must_v be_v constitute_v that_o they_o may_v be_v refer_v to_o the_o common_a general_n so_o for_o example_n sake_n a_o live_a creature_n be_v the_o common_a essential_a form_n and_o substance_n of_o all_o form_z perteyn_a to_o that_o gender_n now_o reason_n be_v the_o form_n whereby_o man_n be_v sunder_v from_o all_o other_o kind_n of_o live_a creature_n now_o will_v thou_o say_v that_o this_o same_o special_a form_n do_v bring_v to_o pass_v that_o that_o same_o general_a to_o wit_n live_v creature_n shall_v not_o be_v lay_v altogether_o by_o the_o same_o reason_n of_o man_n and_o of_o other_o live_a creature_n and_o i_o pray_v thou_o how_o if_o that_o which_o be_v call_v differentia_fw-la or_o proprium_fw-la for_o now_o i_o do_v not_o distinguish_v betwixt_o these_o shall_v altogether_o take_v away_o the_o same_o attribution_n of_o gender_n shall_v the_o distinction_n consist_v of_o gender_n and_o difference_n therefore_o that_o same_o special_a difference_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n whatsoever_o it_o be_v can_v not_o bring_v to_o pass_v that_o that_o same_o common_a reason_n which_o make_v a_o sacrament_n altogether_o by_o the_o same_o mean_a shall_v less_o be_v speak_v of_o the_o lord_n supper_n then_o of_o other_o sacrament_n now_o that_o same_o common_a reason_n as_o we_o have_v show_v be_v that_o the_o outward_a sign_n shall_v signify_v another_o thing_n sacramental_o now_o nothing_o be_v a_o sign_n of_o itself_o forasmuch_o as_o a_o sign_n be_v in_o the_o kind_n of_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v confer_v with_o another_o therefore_o that_o same_o remain_v common_a without_o exception_n to_o all_o sacrament_n that_o the_o thing_n signify_v be_v not_o the_o sign_n because_o these_o two_o must_v be_v in_o very_a deed_n and_o therefore_o the_o thing_n signify_v can_v not_o be_v say_v of_o the_o sign_n but_o transitive_o but_o furthermore_o here_o i_o will_v demand_v of_o thou_o what_o manner_n of_o difference_n thou_o make_v this_o to_o be_v question_n one_o in_o the_o subject_n a_o other_o in_o the_o attribute_n the_o three_o in_o the_o very_a mean_n of_o the_o attribution_n answer_n and_o what_o in_o the_o subject_n question_n because_o the_o element_n of_o the_o supper_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v diverse_a from_o the_o element_n of_o baptism_n answer_n be_v it_o so_o but_o what_o in_o the_o attribute_n question_n because_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o our_o lord_n be_v the_o signify_v thing_n of_o the_o supper_n of_o the_o lord_n answer_n thou_o be_v deceive_v for_o in_o baptism_n also_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v the_o thing_n signify_v but_o what_o in_o the_o attribution_n question_n because_o only_o the_o element_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v say_v in_o the_o word_n of_o the_o institution_n to_o be_v the_o very_a body_n and_o the_o very_a blood_n of_o our_o lord_n answer_n and_o what_o will_v thou_o conclude_v thereof_o question_n forsooth_o that_o in_o baptism_n the_o very_a blood_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o present_a and_o give_v but_o only_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o blood_n shed_v but_o that_o in_o the_o supper_n the_o body_n itself_o and_o the_o blood_n itself_o be_v present_a and_o offer_v to_o the_o mouth_n itself_o answer_n whether_o these_o thing_n be_v true_o say_v or_o no_o we_o will_v see_v in_o their_o place_n but_o i_o pray_v thou_o do_v thou_o not_o mark_v that_o thou_o play_v the_o sophister_n question_n why_o so_o answer_n because_o thou_o chaung_a the_o question_n for_o we_o do_v not_o demand_v whether_o the_o matter_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n and_o of_o other_o sacrament_n be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o but_o whether_o in_o another_o kind_n of_o attribution_n that_o same_o matter_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n whether_o it_o be_v only_o the_o fruit_n or_o it_o be_v christ_n himself_o
