man_n to_o deny_v both_o their_o reason_n and_o sense_n to_o believe_v a_o transubstantiation_n here_o indeed_o a_o faith_n be_v necessary_a strong_a enough_o to_o remove_v mountain_n and_o though_o never_o any_o miracle_n be_v wrought_v but_o be_v wrought_v on_o purpose_n to_o convince_v our_o sense_n yet_o here_o we_o must_v believe_v one_o which_o neither_o sense_n nor_o reason_n can_v discover_v when_o christ_n give_v the_o sacrament_n to_o his_o disciple_n say_v the_o apostle_n 1_o corinth_n 11.24_o he_o break_v the_o bread_n and_o say_v take_v eat_v this_o be_v my_o body_n which_o be_v break_v for_o you_o it_o be_v a_o wonderful_a thing_n that_o the_o word_n be_v in_o the_o first_o sentence_n this_o be_v my_o body_n shall_v have_v a_o literal_a sense_n and_o in_o the_o

〈◊〉_d h●_n because_o christ_n body_n when_o he_o give_v the_o bread_n be_v not_o yet_o break_v if_o it_o will_v not_o admit_v of_o a_o litteral_n sense_n in_o the_o very_a next_o sentence_n because_o of_o the_o absurdity_n that_o will_v follow_v that_o christ_n be_v crucify_a before_o he_o be_v crucify_a why_o shall_v we_o understand_v it_o in_o the_o first_o sentence_n literal_o when_o the_o absurdity_n be_v far_o great_a nay_o that_o the_o word_n be_v shall_v not_o be_v capable_a of_o be_v understand_v literal_o in_o the_o second_o essential_a part_n of_o the_o sacrament_n this_o cup_n be_v the_o new_a testament_n that_o here_o i_o say_v it_o shall_v import_v and_o can_v import_v nothing_o else_o but_o signify_v or_o be_v a_o sign_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n and_o yet_o must_v not_o be_v understand_v so_o in_o the_o first_o part_n of_o the_o sacrament_n be_v a_o thing_n we_o can_v comprehend_v and_o when_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o the_o lord_n supper_n or_o eucharist_n 1_o cor._n 10.16_o the_o cup_n of_o blessing_n which_o we_o bless_v be_v it_o not_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o bread_n which_o we_o break_v be_v it_o not_o the_o

admire_v how_o m●n_z can_v be_v so_o obstinate_a in_o a_o thing_n as_o clear_a as_o the_o sun_n and_o you_o may_v as_o well_o conclude_v that_o christ_n be_v a_o door_n make_v of_o board_n and_o

be_v transubstantiate_v all_o one_o a_o thing_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o thousand_o way_n and_o yet_o without_o transubstantiation_n so_o that_o if_o by_o the_o word_n be_v you_o understand_v transubstantiation_n you_o yourselves_o must_v go_v from_o the_o literal_a sense_n and_o assume_v a_o sense_n which_o be_v not_o express_v in_o that_o say_n all_o the_o jew_n be_v so_o well_o verse_v in_o the_o sense_n of_o sacramental_a expression_n that_o by_o the_o word_n be_v they_o understand_v nothing_o but_o signify_v or_o represent_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v a_o horrid_a shame_n that_o

be_v so_o sottish_a to_o think_v when_o it_o be_v say_v the_o flesh_n be_v the_o passeover_n exod._n 12.11_o that_o the_o flesh_n or_o blood_n be_v real_o the_o passeover_n but_o only_o a_o sign_n and_o representation_n of_o it_o or_o a_o token_n to_o they_o as_o moses_n call_v it_o ver_fw-la 13._o i_o will_v not_o here_o put_v you_o in_o mind_n of_o the_o strange_a absurdity_n that_o must_v follow_v from_o this_o doctrine_n of_o transubstantiation_n viz._n that_o christ_n when_o he_o do_v eat_v and_o drink_v in_o this_o sacrament_n must_v have_v eat_v his_o own_o fl●sh_n and_o that_o the_o apostle_n must_v have_v eat_v his_o body_n while_o he_o be_v at_o the_o table_n with_o they_o and_o before_o it_o be_v crucify_a etc._n etc._n i_o can_v tell_v you_o that_o this_o doctrine_n be_v against_o the_o great_a article_n of_o our_o faith_n that_o christ_n be_v ascend_v into_o heaven_n and_o there_o sit_v at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o god_n until_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n that_o it_o be_v against_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o real_a body_n to_o be_v in_o a_o thousand_o place_n at_o once_o and_o that_o from_o hence_o it_o must_v follow_v that_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n be_v capable_a of_o be_v devour_v by_o vermin_n capable_a of_o be_v poison_v and_o instead_o of_o give_v life_n may_v be_v so_o order_v that_o it_o shall_v kill_v and_o murder_n witness_v victor_n the_o three_o pope_n of_o rome_n and_o henry_n the_o vii_o the_o emperor_n who_o be_v poison_v in_o the_o sacrament_n not_o to_o mention_v a_o thousand_o more_o of_o such_o monstrous_a consequence_n but_o since_o madam_n you_o do_v insist_v so_o much_o upon_o that_o place_n of_o scripture_n john_n 6.53_o except_o you_o eat_v my_o flesh_n and_o drink_v my_o blood_n you_o have_v no_o life_n in_o you_o i_o will_v but_o brief_o show_v you_o how_o ill_o a_o logician_n you_o be_v to_o conclude_v that_o this_o be_v speak_v of_o the_o sacrament_n or_o that_o these_o word_n infer_v a_o corporal_a manducation_n of_o christ_n real_a body_n and_o blood_n if_o they_o be_v mean_v of_o the_o eucharist_n it_o will_v necessary_o follow_v that_o christ_n oblige_v the_o jew_n and_o his_o hearer_n to_o come_v to_o the_o sacrament_n at_o the_o time_n he_o speak_v these_o word_n for_o he_o speak_v of_o their_o present_a eat_n and_o drink_v except_o you_o eat_v etc._n etc._n but_o this_o he_o can_v not_o possible_o do_v for_o the_o sacrament_n of_o his_o body_n and_o blood_n be_v not_o institute_v till_o at_o least_o a_o whole_a twelve_o month_n after_o nor_o do_v any_o of_o his_o disciple_n at_o that_o time_n dream_v of_o any_o such_o thing_n as_o his_o die_a and_o be_v crucify_v nor_o do_v christ_n speak_v the_o least_o word_n of_o it_o in_o the_o whole_a chapter_n which_o he_o must_v necessary_o have_v do_v if_o he_o have_v intend_v the_o sacrment_n by_o it_o which_o be_v all_o together_o found_v in_o his_o crucifixion_n for_o this_o sermon_n of_o christ_n concern_v eat_v and_o drink_v his_o flesh_n and_o blood_n be_v deliver_v just_a about_o the_o feast_n of_o the_o passeover_n ver_fw-la 4._o after_o which_o feast_n as_o it_o be_v say_v john_n 7.1_o 2._o the_o jew_n celebrate_v the_o feast_n of_o tabernacle_n and_o after_o this_o they_o keep_v another_o feast_n of_o the_o passeover_n the_o last_o which_o christ_n be_v at_o which_o be_v no_o less_o than_o a_o twelve_o month_n after_o john_n 11.55_o john_n 12.21_o so_o that_o the_o sacrament_n of_o christ_n body_n and_o blood_n not_o be_v institute_v before_o the_o last_o passover_n as_o all_o the_o evangelist_n agree_v it_o be_v not_o possible_a that_o either_o the_o believe_a jew_n or_o the_o apostle_n can_v understand_v it_o of_o the_o sacrament_n and_o i_o suppose_v christ_n intend_v to_o be_v understand_v because_o there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n as_o yet_o institute_v beside_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o it_o can_v be_v understand_v of_o the_o sacramental_a eat_n and_o drink_v of_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n for_o without_o this_o eat_n and_o drink_v there_o be_v no_o salvation_n to_o be_v have_v as_o i●_n be_v say_v joh._n 6.53_o 54._o and_o if_o it_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v of_o the_o eucharist_n we_o must_v exclude_v all_o christian_n from_o salvation_n that_o be_v not_o in_o a_o capacity_n nor_o in_o a_o possibility_n of_o receive_v it_o which_o i_o be_o sure_a your_o own_o church_n will_v not_o do_v and_o that_o these_o word_n of_o christ_n can_v possible_o be_v understand_v of_o a_o corporal_n eat_v christ_n flesh_n and_o drink_v his_o blood_n but_o must_v be_v understand_v of_o a_o spiritual_a

come_v near_a to_o scripture_n and_o which_o go_v far_a off_o be_v such_o a_o argument_n of_o impatience_n that_o you_o only_o seem_v to_o have_v yield_v to_o a_o dangerous_a temptation_n of_o the_o devil_n if_o the_o controversy_n between_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n and_o we_o be_v so_o intricate_a as_o you_o say_v and_o above_o your_o capacity_n to_o dive_v into_o they_o you_o have_v then_o run_v over_o to_o that_o church_n in_o the_o dark_a and_o have_v as_o little_a reason_n to_o be_v satisfy_v with_o your_o proceed_n as_o you_o believe_v you_o have_v with_o our_o way_n of_o worship_n you_o plead_v that_o you_o have_v be_v sit_v up_o whole_a night_n and_o weep_v and_o pray_v that_o god_n will_v discover_v to_o you_o which_o be_v the_o true_a way_n to_o salvation_n and_o from_o that_o time_n forward_o you_o find_v inclination_n to_o go_v over_o to_o that_o church_n and_o be_v this_o a_o sufficient_a argument_n to_o justify_v your_o forwardness_n when_o you_o have_v already_o begin_v to_o doubt_v whither_o our_o church_n be_v a_o true_a church_n or_o no_o because_o you_o find_v not_o that_o satisfaction_n in_o it_o your_o sickly_a desire_n want_v it_o be_v then_o a_o easy_a matter_n to_o give_v ear_n to_o confident_a people_n that_o magisterial_o and_o peremptory_o assure_v you_o that_o you_o will_v find_v satisfaction_n in_o their_o church_n and_o be_v feed_v with_o this_o hope_n your_o inclination_n to_o that_o church_n grow_v strong_a every_o day_n as_o our_o mother_n eve_n the_o hope_n of_o be_v like_o god_n suggest_v to_o she_o by_o the_o serpent_n do_v egg_n and_o spur_v she_o on_o to_o eat_v of_o the_o fatal_a tree_n we_o do_v not_o forbid_v people_n to_o pray_v to_o god_n to_o lead_v or_o direct_v they_o into_o the_o right_a way_n though_o sometime_o it_o may_v be_v a_o perfect_a tempt_a of_o god_n when_o people_n be_v in_o the_o right_a way_n to_o desire_n god_n to_o discover_v to_o to_o they_o by_o a_o sign_n of_o their_o own_o

have_v you_o join_v this_o way_n with_o your_o prayer_n examine_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n and_o compare_v they_o with_o the_o gospel_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n see_v whether_o there_o be_v any_o thing_n like_o it_o in_o the_o bible_n and_o search_v whether_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n ever_o teach_v such_o doctrine_n and_o do_v all_o this_o not_o slight_o but_o serious_o and_o solid_o it_o be_v impossible_a you_o can_v ever_o have_v turn_v papist_n for_o if_o our_o gospel_n be_v true_a that_o religion_n can_v never_o be_v true_a for_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o the_o world_n can_v run_v more_o counter_a to_o the_o gospel_n than_o the_o doctrine_n of_o that_o church_n wherein_o we_o differ_v from_o they_o and_o they_o have_v need_n put_v the_o

your_o priest_n find_v fault_n with_o our_o translation_n of_o the_o bible_n and_o cry_v out_o that_o there_o be_v great_a defect_n in_o it_o but_o when_o they_o talk_v so_o they_o have_v need_n

that_o religious_a severity_n and_o austerity_n be_v not_o certain_a sign_n of_o a_o true_a religion_n for_o heathen_n do_v use_v they_o as_o much_o as_o christian_n nay_o more_o than_o christian_n
