of_o sense_n because_o that_o which_o be_v real_o the_o be_v of_o one_o thing_n can_v be_v the_o be_v of_o another_o and_o he_o confess_v that_o the_o modus_fw-la as_o to_z the_o not_o be_v of_o the_o

3._o since_o he_o deny_v that_o accident_n have_v any_o real_a be_v distinct_a from_o the_o substance_n they_o be_v in_o he_o grant_v that_o it_o be_v as_o much_o a_o matter_n of_o faith_n that_o there_o be_v no_o real_a accident_n after_o consecration_n as_o that_o there_o be_v no_o real_a substance_n and_o he_o bring_v the_o authority_n of_o the_o council_n of_o lateran_n florence_n and_o

sacramental_a species_n as_o to_o be_v tread_v under_o foot_n to_o be_v cast_v into_o indecent_a place_n to_o be_v devour_v by_o brute_n to_o be_v putrify_v etc._n etc._n if_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n withdraw_v there_o must_v be_v something_o beyond_o mere_a appearance_n 4._o he_o make_v this_o doctrine_n to_o be_v heretical_a because_o the_o council_n of_o constance_n condemn_v it_o as_o a_o heretical_a proposition_n to_o affirm_v that_o in_o the_o eucharist_n accident_n do_v not_o remain_v without_o their_o subject_n and_o because_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n use_v the_o word_n species_n in_o the_o sense_n then_o general_o receive_v and_o so_o it_o signify_v the_o same_o with_o accident_n which_o say_v he_o far_o appear_v because_o the_o council_n speak_v of_o the_o species_n remain_v but_o if_o there_o be_v no_o real_a accident_n the_o species_n do_v not_o remain_v in_o the_o object_n but_o a_o new_a appearance_n be_v produce_v and_o it_o seem_v most_o reasonable_a to_o interpret_v the_o language_n of_o the_o council_n according_a to_o the_o general_a sense_n wherein_o the_o word_n be_v understand_v at_o that_o time_n vii_o what_o thing_n be_v

be_v there_o receive_v by_o a_o catholic_n tradition_n because_o matter_n of_o faith_n which_o have_v be_v universal_o receive_v in_o the_o church_n can_v never_o be_v suppose_v to_o be_v contest_v
