A12211 A friendly advertisement to the pretended Catholickes of Ireland declaring, for their satisfaction; that both the Kings supremacie, and the faith whereof his Majestie is the defender, are consonant to the doctrine delivered in the holy Scriptures, and writings of the ancient fathers. And consequently, that the lawes and statutes enacted in that behalfe, are dutifully to be observed by all his Majesties subjects within that kingdome. By Christopher Sibthorp, Knight, one of his Maiesties iustices of his court of chiefe place in Ireland. In the end whereof, is added an epistle written to the author, by the Reverend Father in God, Iames Vssher Bishop of Meath: wherein it is further manifested, that the religion anciently professed in Ireland is, for substance, the same with that, which at this day is by publick authoritie established therein. Sibthorp, Christopher, Sir, d. 1632.; Ussher, James, 1581-1656. 1622 (1622) STC 22522; ESTC S102408 494,750 610

the_o outward_a sense_n as_o when_o christ_n turn_v water_n into_o wine_n 3._o it_o do_v appear_v to_o be_v no_o long_o water_n but_o wine_n to_o the_o outward_a sense_n so_o likewise_o when_o moses_n

say_v miraculous_o into_o the_o very_a natural_a body_n of_o christ_n it_o must_v likewise_o appear_v visible_o to_o the_o eye_n and_o to_o the_o outward_a sense_n so_o to_o be_v namely_o no_o appearance_n of_o bread_n must_v any_o long_o be_v there_o and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n only_o the_o very_a natural_a body_n of_o jesus_n christ_n must_v appear_v to_o the_o eye_n and_o the_o

after_o consecration_n but_o bread_n only_o ergo_fw-la the_o very_a natural_a body_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v not_o there_o miraculous_o as_o papist_n most_o absurd_o affirm_v but_o although_o they_o can_v show_v christ_n his_o very_a natural_a body_n to_o be_v there_o by_o way_n of_o transubstantiation_n yet_o say_v they_o they_o do_v believe_v it_o to_o be_v so_o and_o they_o say_v
