A56393	Reasons for abrogating the test imposed upon all members of Parliament, anno 1678, Octob. 30 in these words, I A.B. do solemnly and sincerely, in the presence of God, profess, testifie, and declare, that I do believe that in the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper there is not any transubstantiation of the elements of bread and wine into the body and blood of Christ, at, or after the consecration thereof by any person whatsoever, and that the invocation or adoration of the Virgin Mary, or any other saint, and the sacrifice of the mass, as they are now used in the Church of Rome, are superstitious and idolatrous : first written for the author's own satisfaction, and now published for the benefit of all others whom it may concern.

of_o the_o real_a presence_n that_o there_o be_v a_o conversion_n of_o the_o substance_n under_o the_o species_n or_o appearance_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n which_o the_o church_n have_v think_v

when_o we_o see_v the_o visible_a sign_n what_o it_o represent_v we_o ought_v to_o reflect_v from_o who_o it_o be_v give_v we_o for_o the_o bread_n be_v give_v as_o a_o representation_n of_o the_o

that_o he_o in_o reality_n give_v whatever_o be_v there_o represent_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o we_o real_o receive_v the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n see_v the_o

if_o without_o some_o spiritual_a reality_n we_o only_o receive_v the_o bread_n and_o wine_n will_v he_o not_o vain_o and_o absurd_o have_v institute_v this_o mystery_n and_o as_o we_o frenchman_n
