place_n of_o the_o scripture_n argument_n three_o it_o be_v opposite_a unto_o the_o end_n wherefore_o this_o sacrament_n be_v institute_v and_o this_o be_v most_o evident_a for_o the_o end_n of_o the_o sacrament_n be_v spiritual_a as_o the_o effect_n that_o flow_v thereof_o be_v spiritual_a and_o the_o instrument_n whereby_o this_o spiritual_a food_n be_v apply_v to_o we_o be_v also_o spiritual_a but_o from_o a_o natural_a and_o corporal_a presence_n a_o spiritual_a effect_n can_v never_o flow_v therefore_o the_o corporal_a and_o natural_a presence_n of_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n jesus_n repugn_v direct_o the_o end_n of_o this_o sacrament_n for_o the_o corporal_a presence_n must_v have_v a_o corporal_a eat_n of_o this_o eat_n follow_v a_o digestion_n in_o the_o stomach_n and_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v digest_v in_o the_o stomach_n be_v never_o able_a to_o feed_v my_o soul_n to_o life_n eternal_a so_o this_o corporal_a presence_n must_v ever_o tend_v to_o a_o corporal_a end_n which_o be_v direct_o contrary_a unto_o the_o end_n wherefore_o the_o sacrament_n be_v institute_v further_o if_o the_o bread_n be_v transubstantiate_a effect_n it_o shall_v become_v the_o thing_n signify_v if_o it_o become_v the_o thing_n signify_v this_o sacrament_n shall_v want_v a_o sign_n and_o so_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v a_o sacrament_n for_o every_o sacrament_n as_o you_o have_v head_n be_v a_o sign_n now_o to_o say_v that_o the_o accident_n of_o true_a bread_n as_o the_o colour_n and_o the_o roundness_n of_o it_o may_v serve_v as_o sign_n that_o be_v more_o than_o folly_n for_o between_o the_o sign_n and_o the_o thing_n signify_v there_o must_v be_v a_o conformity_n but_o there_o be_v no_o conformity_n between_o the_o accident_n and_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n jesus_n for_o if_o that_o be_v so_o the_o accident_n behove_v to_o nourish_v we_o corporal_o as_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n je_fw-fr point_v to_o nourish_v we_o spiritual_o again_o if_o the_o bread_n become_v the_o body_n &_o blood_n of_o christ_n jesus_n it_o shall_v follow_v that_o he_o have_v a_o body_n without_o blood_n for_o he_o have_v institute_v another_o sign_n beside_o to_o represent_v his_o blood_n also_o if_o there_o have_v be_v ●uch_o a_o wondefull_a thing_n as_o they_o speak_v of_o in_o this_o sacrament_n there_o will_v have_v be_v plain_a mention_n make_v thereof_o in_o the_o scripture_n for_o god_n himself_o never_o work_v a_o notable_a work_n but_o he_o declare_v it_o either_o open_o or_o more_o secret_o in_o the_o scripture_n that_o thereby_o he_o may_v be_v glorify_v in_o his_o wonderful_a work_n as_o you_o may_v read_v in_o the_o evangelist_n john_n 2.8_o where_o the_o water_n be_v change_v into_o wine_n gene._n 2.22_o where_o the_o rib_n of_o adam_n be_v change_v into_o heva_n exodus_fw-la 7.10_o where_o aaron_n rod_n be_v turn_v into_o a_o serpent_n there_o you_o see_v that_o change_n be_v manifest_o express_v therefore_o i_o say_v if_o there_o have_v be_v such_o a_o monstrous_a change_n in_o these_o element_n of_o ●he_n supper_n as_o they_o affirm_v the_o scripture_n will_v not_o have_v conceal_v it_o but_o express_v it_o but_o in_o respect_n there_o be_v no_o mention_n make_v of_o this_o change_n in_o the_o scripture_n therefore_o there_o be_v no_o such_o change_n in_o this_o action_n further_o if_o there_o be_v such_o a_o change_n as_o they_o say_v either_o it_o be_v before_o these_o word_n of_o consecration_n be_v speak_v or_o follow_v after_o the_o same_o word_n be_v speak_v if_o the_o change_n be_v before_o the_o word_n of_o the_o consecration_n be_v speak_v the_o consecration_n be_v superfluous_a and_o their_o proposition_n be_v false_a if_o the_o change_n be_v after_o the_o word_n be_v speak_v this_o bread_n be_v my_o body_n their_o proposition_n be_v false_a also_o because_o the_o word_n bread_n be_v speak_v before_o the_o last_o syllable_n of_o their_o five_o word_n be_v pronounce_v these_o and_o infinite_a more_o absurdity_n follow_v of_o this_o doctrine_n and_o yet_o they_o obstinate_o persevere_v and_o urge_v we_o with_o the_o letter_n affirm_v that_o the_o word_n of_o christ_n be_v so_o plain_a that_o they_o admit_v no_o figure_n they_o will_v have_v speak_v more_o advise_o if_o they_o have_v seek_v counsel_n of_o augustine_n to_o have_v discern_v between_o a_o figurative_a speech_n and_o a_o proper_a speech_n for_o he_o in_o his_o three_o book_n and_o 16._o chapter_n of_o christian_a doctrine_n speak_v after_o this_o sort_n if_o the_o speech_n say_v he_o seem_v to_o command_v a_o wickedness_n or_o mischief_n or_o to_o forbid_v any_o happiness_n or_o any_o welfare_n it_o be_v not_o proper_a it_o be_v then_o figurative_a and_o he_o add_v for_o a_o example_n a_o place_n out_o of_o john_n 6.53_o except_o say_v our_o saviour_n you_o eat_v the_o flesh_n of_o the_o son_n of_o man_n and_o drink_v his_o blood_n you_o have_v no_o life_n in_o you_o whereunto_o augustine_n add_v this_o speech_n say_v he_o seem_v to_o command_v a_o mischief_n therefore_o it_o be_v a_o figurative_a speech_n whereby_o we_o be_v command_v to_o communicate_v with_o the_o suffering_n of_o christ_n jesus_n and_o with_o gladness_n to_o keep_v in_o perpetual_a memory_n that_o the_o flesh_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v crucify_v and_o wound_v for_o us._n for_o otherwise_o it_o be_v more_o horrible_a as_o the_o same_o augustine_n make_v mention_n in_o the_o second_o book_n against_o the_o adversary_n of_o the_o law_n to_o eat_v the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n jesus_n real_o then_o to_o murder_v he_o and_o more_o horrible_a to_o drink_v his_o blood_n then_o to_o shed_v his_o blood_n yet_o notwithstanding_o they_o be_v not_o ashamed_a still_o to_o hold_v &_o maintain_v that_o those_o word_n ought_v to_o be_v take_v proper_o so_o that_o it_o appear_v that_o of_o very_a malice_n for_o contradiction_n sake_n to_o the_o end_n only_o that_o they_o may_v withstand_v the_o truth_n they_o will_v not_o acknowledge_v this_o to_o be_v a_o sacramental_a speech_n for_o they_o be_v compel_v will_v they_o will_v they_o in_o other_o speech_n of_o the_o like_a sort_n to_o acknowledge_v a_o figure_n as_o genes_n 17.10_o circumcision_n be_v call_v the_o covenant_n and_o exod._n 12.11_o the_o lamb_n be_v call_v the_o passeover_n and_o math._n 20.22_o the_o cup_n be_v call_v his_o blood_n and_o luke_n 22.20_o the_o cup_n be_v call_v the_o new_a testament_n and_o 1._o cor._n 10.4_o the_o rock_n be_v call_v christ._n all_o these_o speech_n be_v sacramental_a and_o receive_v a_o kind_n of_o interpretation_n yet_o they_o malicious_o press_v to_o deny_v we_o this_o in_o these_o word_n hoc_fw-la est_fw-la corpus_fw-la meum_fw-la which_o they_o be_v compel_v to_o grant_v in_o the_o rest_n as_o especial_o where_o paul_n call_v the_o rock_n christ._n now_o when_o they_o be_v drive_v out_o of_o this_o fortress_n they_o fly_v as_o unhappy_o to_o the_o second_o namely_o that_o god_n by_o his_o omnipotency_n may_v make_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n to_o be_v in_o heaven_n and_o in_o the_o bread_n both_o at_o one_o time_n ergo_fw-la say_v they_o it_o be_v so_o if_o i_o deny_v their_o consequent_a they_o will_v be_v much_o trouble_v to_o prove_v it_o but_o the_o question_n stand_v not_o here_o whether_o god_n may_v do_v it_o or_o not_o but_o the_o question_n be_v whether_o god_n will_v it_o or_o not_o or_o may_v will_v it_o or_o not_o and_o we_o say_v reverent_o that_o his_o majesty_n may_v not_o will_v it_o for_o though_o it_o be_v true_a that_o he_o may_v many_o thing_n which_o he_o will_v not_o yet_o it_o be_v as_o true_a that_o there_o be_v many_o thing_n which_o he_o may_v not_o will_n of_o the_o which_o sort_n this_o be_v and_o these_o be_v reduce_v to_o two_o sort_n first_o he_o may_v not_o will_v those_o thing_n which_o be_v contrary_a to_o his_o nature_n as_o to_o be_v changeable_a as_o to_o decay_v &_o such_o other_o for_o if_o he_o may_v will_v these_o thing_n they_o shall_v not_o be_v argument_n of_o any_o puissance_n or_o of_o any_o other_o power_n but_o rather_o certain_a argument_n of_o his_o impotency_n and_o infirmity_n and_o therefore_o though_o he_o may_v not_o will_v these_o thing_n he_o cease_v not_o to_o be_v omnipotent_a but_o so_o much_o the_o rather_o his_o constant_a and_o invincible_a power_n be_v know_v second_o god_n may_v not_o will_v some_o thing_n by_o reason_n of_o a_o presuppose_a condition_n as_o such_o thing_n whereof_o he_o have_v conclude_v the_o contrary_a before_o of_o the_o which_o sort_n be_v this_o which_o be_v now_o controvert_v for_o see_v that_o god_n have_v conclude_v that_o a_o humane_a body_n shall_v consist_v of_o instrumental_a part_n and_o therefore_o to_o be_v comprehend_v and_o circumscribe_v within_o one_o and_o the_o own_o proper_a place_n and_o also_o see_v he_o have_v appoint_v christ_n

whether_o god_n angel_n or_o man_n second_o whosoever_o he_o be_v that_o make_v they_o holy_a by_o what_o mean_n and_o way_n he_o make_v they_o holy_a and_o by_o the_o consideration_n of_o these_o two_o we_o shall_v come_v to_o the_o consideration_n and_o right_n view_v of_o the_o sanctification_n of_o the_o element_n for_o the_o first_o we_o say_v that_o god_n be_v only_o he_o that_o may_v make_v a_o thing_n which_o be_v common_a to_o be_v holy_a so_o we_o say_v that_o god_n by_o his_o will_n and_o ordinance_n declare_v and_o set_v down_o in_o his_o word_n have_v make_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v common_a by_o his_o appointment_n to_o be_v holy_a as_o for_o the_o way_n and_o mean_n whereby_o they_o be_v make_v holy_a it_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n the_o institution_n of_o christ_n the_o will_n of_o christ_n declare_v in_o his_o institution_n that_o make_v they_o holy_a for_o the_o preach_n and_o open_v of_o the_o word_n &_o institution_n of_o christ_n le_fw-fr we_o we_o see_v that_o god_n have_v make_v these_o thing_n holy_a and_o not_o only_o that_o he_o have_v make_v they_o holy_a but_o let_v we_o see_v a_o holy_a manner_n how_o they_o shall_v be_v use_v in_o what_o place_n at_o what_o time_n with_o what_o heart_n and_o to_o what_o end_n so_o it_o be_v the_o will_n christ_n declare_v in_o his_o institution_n whereby_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v common_a before_o be_v now_o make_v holy_a there_o be_v two_o other_o thing_n also_o which_o make_v the_o same_o element_n holy_a and_o these_o two_o be_v use_v in_o this_o institution_n there_o be_v prayer_n and_o thanksgiving_n which_o make_v the_o creature_n of_o god_n holy_a to_o our_o use_n whereas_o otherwise_o if_o we_o receive_v the_o good_a creature_n of_o god_n like_a dog_n and_o thank_v he_o not_o for_o they_o it_o be_v a_o sure_a token_n that_o they_o be_v never_o sanctify_v to_o our_o use_n by_o prayer_n we_o obtain_v grace_n and_o strength_n from_o god_n to_o use_v the_o creature_n and_o this_o whole_a action_n holy_o and_o lawful_o as_o it_o shall_v be_v and_o therefore_o not_o only_o in_o this_o holy_a action_n shall_v we_o begin_v with_o god_n &_o with_o invocation_n of_o his_o name_n but_o in_o all_o action_n in_o the_o world_n we_o begin_v in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n so_o it_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n that_o prayer_n and_o thansgiving_n conjoin_v with_o the_o element_n do_v make_v they_o holy_a all_o these_o three_o contain_v in_o the_o action_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n make_v the_o seal_n holy_a for_o beside_o the_o will_n of_o god_n declare_v in_o the_o institution_n in_o the_o lord_n supper_n we_o use_v invocation_n and_o in_o this_o invocation_n we_o use_v thanksgiving_n the_o element_n be_v not_o make_v holy_a by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n only_o but_o by_o the_o use_n of_o prayer_n and_o thanksgiving_n which_o three_o be_v the_o only_a mean_n whereby_o these_o thing_n be_v sanctify_v now_o to_o express_v and_o lay_v forth_o the_o sanctification_n of_o the_o element_n other_o the_o evangelist_n and_o the_o apostle_n paul_n use_v indifferent_o the_o word_n to_o bless_v and_o to_o give_v thanks_n and_o common_o they_o put_v the_o one_o for_o the_o other_o for_o you_o may_v see_v that_o mark_n and_o paul_n use_v the_o word_n bless_v matthew_n and_o luke_n use_v the_o word_n to_o give_v thanks_n and_o all_o in_o one_o signification_n and_o mark_v himself_o in_o the_o 14._o of_o his_o gospel_n 22._o verse_n speak_v of_o the_o same_o action_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n use_v the_o the_o word_n to_o bless_v and_o in_o the_o 23._o verse_n he_o use_v the_o word_n ●o_o give_v thanks_n and_o both_o in_o one_o signification_n to_o let_v you_o see_v that_o the_o apostle_n christ_n himself_o and_o the_o evangelist_n use_v the_o word_n to_o bless_v and_o to_o give_v thanks_n indifferent_o to_o signify_v the_o sanctification_n and_o consecration_n of_o the_o element_n except_o you_o take_v the_o one_o for_o the_o other_o it_o will_v be_v hard_a to_o gather_v any_o good_a meaning_n out_o of_o the_o apostle_n word_n for_o i_o remember_v the_o apostle_n 1._o corinthian_n 10.16_o say_v the_o cup_n of_o blessing_n which_o we_o bless_v what_o be_v that_o i_o take_v the_o word_n to_o signify_v as_o i_o have_v say_v which_o we_o bless_v that_o be_v which_o we_o sanctify_v and_o prepare_v by_o blessing_n so_o to_o bless_v and_o to_o give_v thanks_n in_o the_o lord_n supper_n signify_v no_o other_o thing_n but_o to_o sanctify_v otherwise_o if_o you_o take_v the_o word_n in_o another_o signification_n you_o shall_v fall_v into_o a_o error_n and_o why_o god_n be_v say_v to_o bless_v and_o man_n be_v say_v to_o bless_v god_n be_v say_v to_o bless_v when_o he_o give_v good_a thing_n unto_o his_o creature_n for_o god_n blessing_n be_v ever_o effectual_a and_o therefore_o he_o be_v say_v to_o bless_v when_o he_o give_v good_a thing_n man_n again_o be_v say_v to_o bless_v either_o private_o or_o public_o when_o he_o crave_v blessing_n at_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n for_o any_o man_n when_o he_o bless_v in_o the_o name_n and_o at_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n any_o person_n or_o people_n now_o if_o you_o ascribe_v blessing_n in_o any_o of_o these_o two_o signification_n to_o the_o cup_n it_o be_v amiss_o for_o we_o use_v neither_o to_o crave_v a_o blessing_n to_o insensible_a element_n nor_o yet_o to_o bless_v they_o in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n and_o god_n use_v to_o give_v good_a thing_n to_o the_o son_n of_o man_n and_o not_o to_o insensible_a creature_n therefore_o we_o must_v needs_o use_v the_o word_n bless_v in_o the_o three_o signification_n the_o cup_n of_o blessing_n which_o we_o bless_v that_o be_v which_o we_o sanctify_v and_o prepare_v by_o blessing_n thus_o far_o we_o understand_v for_o the_o sanctification_n of_o the_o element_n element_n now_o let_v we_o see_v how_o they_o sanctify_v the_o element_n and_o what_o be_v the_o form_n of_o their_o consecration_n so_o far_o as_o i_o understand_v of_o it_o it_o consist_v in_o these_o five_o word_n hoc_fw-la est_fw-la enim_fw-la corpus_fw-la meum_fw-la it_o stand_v in_o these_o five_o word_n and_o in_o the_o whisper_n of_o they_o for_o if_o you_o whisper_v they_o not_o you_o lose_v the_o fashion_n of_o incantation_n for_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o call_v sanctify_v they_o call_v whisper_v and_o the_o whisper_n of_o those_o five_o word_n they_o call_v the_o consecration_n of_o the_o element_n and_o when_o the_o word_n be_v after_o this_o manner_n whisper_v they_o presuppose_v such_o a_o secret_a and_o monstrous_a virtue_n to_o be_v enclose_v in_o the_o syllable_n that_o the_o virtue_n and_o power_n which_o flow_v from_o the_o word_n be_v able_a to_o chase_v away_o whole_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o bread_n so_o that_o the_o very_a bread_n and_o substance_n of_o it_o be_v altogether_o destroy_v by_o this_o power_n second_o that_o this_o power_n which_o flow_v from_o these_o word_n be_v able_a to_o fetch_v and_o pull_v down_o another_o substance_n to_o wit_n the_o flesh_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n jesus_n that_o sit_v at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o his_o father_n and_o be_v able_a to_o put_v it_o within_o the_o compass_n of_o that_o bread_n this_o be_v a_o strange_a and_o a_o great_a virtue_n that_o not_o only_o will_v overthrow_v that_o substance_n but_o put_v it_o within_o the_o compass_n of_o that_o bread_n the_o same_o five_o word_n whisper_v in_o this_o manner_n have_v such_o a_o monstrous_a operation_n say_v they_o that_o they_o be_v able_a both_o to_o chase_v away_o the_o one_o substance_n to_o pull_v down_o another_o and_o to_o put_v it_o within_o the_o compass_n of_o that_o bread_n we_o altogether_o deny_v that_o there_o be_v such_o a_o virtue_n in_o these_o word_n for_o as_o i_o have_v say_v before_o we_o deny_v not_o that_o the_o word_n have_v a_o virtue_n but_o deny_v that_o there_o be_v such_o a_o virtue_n enclose_v in_o the_o word_n we_o deny_v the_o quality_n of_o the_o virtue_n or_o that_o it_o flow_v from_o such_o a_o fountain_n for_o we_o grant_v that_o the_o word_n have_v a_o virtue_n there_o be_v never_o a_o word_n that_o god_n speak_v here_o but_o it_o have_v a_o virtue_n join_v with_o it_o but_o we_o deny_v that_o this_o virtue_n be_v enclose_v in_o the_o syllable_n in_o the_o whisper_n or_o pronounce_v of_o the_o word_n for_o if_o there_o be_v such_o a_o virtue_n and_o power_n enclose_v in_o the_o syllable_n by_o the_o same_o reason_n it_o shall_v follow_v that_o there_o be_v a_o virtue_n in_o the_o figure_n &_o shape_n of_o the_o letter_n that_o make_v up_o the_o word_n now_o there_o be_v no_o man_n will_v think_v that_o there_o be_v any_o virtue_n in_o the_o figure_n or_o shape_n of_o the_o letter_n and_o there_o be_v as_o
