notwithstanding_o any_o such_o suppose_a divine_a revelation_n as_o may_v be_v pretend_v from_o those_o word_n this_o be_v my_o body_n they_o can_v by_o our_o author_n be_v own_o rule_n without_o culpable_a ignorance_n not_o know_v that_o they_o be_v mistake_v in_o this_o matter_n again_o no_o papist_n can_v have_v any_o reason_n to_o believe_v transubstantiation_n to_o be_v true_a but_o because_o he_o read_v those_o word_n of_o holy_a scripture_n this_o be_v my_o body_n that_o these_o word_n be_v in_o scripture_n he_o can_v know_v only_o by_o his_o sense_n if_o his_o sense_n

their_o real_a presence_n than_o the_o papist_n ibid._n see_v ibid._n indeed_o be_v the_o difference_n no_o great_a than_o between_o a_o con_n and_o a_o trans_fw-la it_o will_v i_o confess_v be_v hardly_o worth_a the_o while_n to_o contend_v about_o it_o but_o when_o we_o come_v to_o the_o point_n itself_o we_o may_v observe_v these_o four_o advantage_n among_o many_o other_o of_o the_o lutheran_n side_n 1._o they_o confess_v for_o the_o outward_a element_n that_o they_o be_v real_o what_o they_o appear_v to_o be_v bread_n and_o wine_n and_o so_o they_o do_v no_o violence_n to_o their_o sense_n which_o as_o i_o have_v say_v be_v a_o great_a aggravation_n against_o the_o papist_n 2._o by_o this_o mean_n they_o be_v at_o no_o defiance_n with_o all_o those_o text_n of_o scripture_n where_o they_o be_v so_o often_o call_v bread_n and_o wine_n after_o consecration_n all_o which_o the_o papist_n contradict_v but_o the_o lutheran_n do_v not_o 3._o from_o the_o word_n of_o christ_n this_o be_v my_o body_n we_o all_o of_o we_o confess_v may_v be_v infer_v that_o christ_n body_n be_v in_o this_o holy_a sacrament_n but_o whence_o do_v the_o papist_n infer_v the_o destruction_n of_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o bread_n so_o that_o what_o be_v take_v and_o bless_v and_o give_v be_v not_o bread_n but_o christ_n body_n under_o the_o appearance_n of_o bread_n this_o be_v a_o error_n which_o i_o be_o sure_a the_o text_n give_v no_o manner_n of_o colour_n to_o and_o therefore_o our_o author_n can_v with_o any_o reason_n pretend_v as_o he_o do_v whether_o we_o consult_v the_o text_n of_o holy_a scripture_n or_o our_o own_o sense_n that_o they_o have_v as_o good_a ground_n for_o their_o real_a presence_n as_o the_o lutheran_n have_v for_o they_o to_o all_o which_o let_v i_o add_v 4thly_a that_o by_o transubstantiation_n they_o destroy_v the_o very_a nature_n of_o a_o sacrament_n by_o leave_v no_o true_a external_a sign_n or_o symbol_n and_o which_o be_v another_o unanswerable_a argument_n against_o they_o whilst_o the_o lutheran_n acknowledge_v the_o substance_n of_o the_o bread_n to_o remain_v do_v not_o destroy_v at_o all_o the_o nature_n of_o this_o sacrament_n but_o retain_v the_o same_o sign_n which_o our_o bless_a lord_n establish_v and_o so_o have_v no_o objection_n on_o this_o side_n neither_o to_o convict_v they_o but_o yet_o notwithstanding_o all_o this_o 27._o pag._n 26_o 27._o do_v not_o some_o of_o our_o writer_n confess_v that_o the_o papist_n interpretation_n be_v more_o rational_a than_o the_o lutheran_n i_o answer_v what_o certain_a protestant_n may_v have_v say_v in_o zeal_n for_o their_o own_o opinion_n and_o in_o particular_a hospinian_n upon_o the_o account_n of_o his_o master_n zuinglius_fw-la i_o can_v tell_v but_o sure_o i_o be_o we_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o answer_v for_o all_o that_o any_o protestant_a author_n have_v say_v and_o if_o these_o reason_n i_o have_v here_o give_v for_o the_o

not_o ground_n his_o adoration_n upon_o transubstantiation_n but_o on_o corporal_a presence_n and_o so_o they_o must_v both_o be_v excuse_v or_o neither_o this_o be_v a_o fetch_v to_o very_o little_a

transubstantiation_n exclusive_a to_o all_o other_o or_o no_o if_o he_o do_v then_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o corporal_a presence_n and_o transubstantiation_n must_v with_o he_o stand_v or_o fall_v together_o and_o so_o if_o he_o adore_v on_o the_o account_n of_o the_o corporal_a presence_n he_o do_v it_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o transubstantiation_n if_o he_o do_v not_o believe_v
