to_o be_v indifferent_a to_o bear_v two_o sense_n figurative_a and_o real_a this_o be_v evident_a that_o when_o a_o word_n bear_v a_o equivocal_a signification_n be_v put_v in_o a_o proposition_n it_o

give_v for_o you_o if_o you_o observe_v this_o principle_n you_o will_v clear_o answer_v any_o text_n that_o may_v be_v allege_v against_o this_o mystery_n as_o to_o the_o instance_n of_o vine_n and_o such_o like_a mystical_a expression_n speak_v of_o christ_n put_v they_o in_o a_o proposition_n with_o the_o word_n christ_n and_o they_o will_v be_v determine_v to_o a_o figurative_a or_o mystical_a

the_o effect_n and_o grace_n that_o he_o convey_v unto_o we_o by_o a_o real_a incarnation_n and_o passion_n the_o spiritual_a regeneration_n confer_v on_o we_o in_o baptism_n by_o water_n he_o may_v have_v confer_v it_o on_o we_o by_o wine_n or_o rose_n water_n be_v it_o therefore_o we_o must_v say_v that_o true_a natural_a water_n be_v not_o necessary_a for_o baptism_n but_o say_v you_o the_o text_n do_v distinct_o express_v water_n yea_o and_o the_o text_n in_o the_o institution_n of_o the_o eucharist_n do_v distinct_o express_v body_n and_o as_o the_o text_n do_v not_o add_v true_a and_o

a_o real_a body_n thus_o far_o we_o agree_v that_o christ_n may_v be_v he_o please_v have_v give_v we_o the_o effect_n of_o the_o sacrament_n by_o a_o figurative_a presence_n only_o also_o that_o he_o
