nay_o what_o be_v worse_o that_o it_o lie_v not_o in_o the_o power_n of_o christian_n to_o be_v as_o wise_a and_o charitable_a as_o the_o common_a dictate_v of_o humanity_n will_v imply_v beside_o it_o be_v very_o apparent_a that_o the_o decree_n of_o counsel_n have_v not_o a_o little_a be_v misapprehend_v if_o not_o far_o enlarge_v than_o ever_o be_v intend_v by_o their_o canon_n or_o

which_o be_v no_o more_o than_o a_o negative_a manner_n of_o confirm_v the_o authority_n of_o their_o church_n but_o be_v there_o any_o one_o decree_n of_o any_o council_n that_o do_v anathematise_v all_o person_n that_o do_v not_o outward_o profess_v and_o practise_v all_o thing_n that_o be_v contain_v within_o its_o decree_n if_o there_o be_v counsel_n that_o have_v determine_v the_o

asunder_o by_o such_o as_o be_v better_o please_v with_o needless_a disputation_n than_o religion_n or_o conscience_n do_v oblige_v it_o can_v be_v deny_v that_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v strict_a in_o assert_v her_o decree_n and_o she_o can_v not_o have_v the_o reputation_n of_o a_o church_n do_v she_o do_v otherwise_o and_o to_o hold_v herself_o so_o far_o free_a from_o error_n be_v no_o other_o in_o effect_n then_o to_o assure_v she_o world_n that_o she_o will_v not_o have_v error_n lay_v to_o her_o charge_n or_o in_o bold_a term_n have_v the_o lie_v give_v she_o by_o way_n of_o disputation_n and_o thus_o it_o be_v very_o evident_a that_o there_o be_v a_o great_a difference_n betwixt_o the_o latitude_n of_o a_o ecclesiastical_a determination_n or_o allowance_n and_o the_o necessity_n of_o enjoin_v a_o universal_a conformity_n in_o every_o particular_a if_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n and_o england_n shall_v conclude_v of_o doctrine_n sufficient_o necessary_a for_o public_a communion_n here_o there_o be_v no_o roman_a catholic_n or_o protestant_n of_o this_o church_n but_o mus_fw-la concede_fw-la that_o the_o allowance_n of_o both_o church_n be_v a_o effectual_a motive_n to_o produce_v their_o charitable_a accord_n whereby_o they_o may_v be_v induce_v to_o perform_v their_o devotion_n within_o the_o wall_n of_o one_o church_n and_o be_v this_o due_o dispose_v i_o see_v no_o reason_n why_o protestant_n shall_v not_o be_v as_o thankful_a to_o the_o pope_n and_o church_n of_o rome_n as_o they_o will_v be_v to_o their_o own_o archbishop_n of_o canterbury_n and_o his_o convocation_n for_o a_o expedient_a so_o pious_a and_o useful_a to_o the_o service_n of_o god_n their_o king_n and_o country_n and_o lest_o it_o be_v hold_v insignificant_a to_o propose_v a_o reconciliation_n in_o general_n betwixt_o these_o church_n without_o give_v example_n how_o this_o may_v be_v effect_v as_o to_o thing_n that_o require_v the_o most_o accurate_a and_o essential_a decision_n i_o will_v here_o instead_o of_o other_o touch_v brief_o the_o main_a yet-undertermined_a difference_n and_o which_o have_v hitherto_o continue_v as_o i_o may_v say_v the_o heart_n of_o their_o controversy_n and_o that_o be_v the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o eucharist_n and_o the_o manner_n of_o receive_v christ_n thereby_o as_o to_o this_o sacrament_n the_o church_n of_o rome_n have_v define_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n to_o be_v real_o present_a after_o consecration_n and_o this_o the_o church_n of_o england_n seem_v after_o a_o manner_n or_o rather_o by_o other_o word_n to_o oppose_v then_o total_o to_o deny_v it_o as_o shall_v soon_o appear_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n call_v the_o sacrament_n the_o body_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o church_n of_o england_n do_v so_o too_o as_o it_o be_v to_o be_v see_v in_o both_o their_o liturgy_n but_o the_o manner_n how_o our_o lord_n body_n be_v in_o the_o eucharist_n have_v as_o yet_o be_v the_o dispute_n though_o more_o as_o it_o have_v be_v word_v on_o both_o side_n than_o real_o different_a for_o though_o roman_a catholic_n affirm_v that_o the_o body_n of_o their_o lord_n be_v in_o the_o sacrament_n they_o do_v not_o assert_v nor_o be_v there_o any_o general_a council_n as_o i_o conceive_v that_o have_v determine_v whether_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n that_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o bless_a virgin_n and_o now_o glorify_v in_o heaven_n do_v remain_v under_o the_o species_n of_o bread_n in_o the_o eucharist_n but_o in_o substance_n that_o the_o sacrament_n do_v contain_v the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o their_o redeemer_n without_o determine_v the_o utmost_a extent_n of_o the_o miracle_n or_o whether_o it_o be_v only_o his_o natural_a body_n as_o it_o be_v once_o on_o earth_n or_o his_o body_n that_o have_v now_o a_o more_o glorious_a be_v above_o but_o take_v the_o word_n body_n from_o the_o literal_a expression_n of_o the_o scripture_n have_v think_v it_o sufficient_a from_o thence_o to_o terminate_v
