a_o union_n in_o all_o sacrament_n therefore_o in_o the_o supper_n also_o the_o antecedent_n or_o former_a proposition_n of_o this_o argument_n be_v manifest_a out_o of_o the_o definition_n &_o

because_o there_o be_v no_o transubstantiation_n therefore_o it_o be_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n in_o a_o mystery_n so_o signify_v 3_o the_o three_o reason_n be_v because_o all_o the_o argument_n by_o which_o the_o sacramental_a speech_n in_o the_o word_n of_o the_o supper_n be_v prove_v be_v hitherunto_o belong_v for_o a_o sacramental_a union_n require_v sacramental_a phrase_n and_o term_n 4_o the_o four_o be_v because_o we_o have_v the_o testimony_n of_o the_o father_n that_o the_o bread_n be_v a_o sign_n figure_n and_o sacrament_n of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n no_o long_o absent_a

of_o the_o supper_n this_o which_o christ_n give_v object_n and_o the_o priest_n consecrate_v be_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n therefore_o it_o be_v not_o bread_n the_o argument_n hold_v from_o the_o rule_n of_o thing_n different_a as_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v say_v this_o be_v a_o man_n therefore_o it_o be_v not_o a_o ox_n we_o deny_v that_o this_o argument_n be_v frame_v as_o you_o say_v auns_n from_o the_o induce_n of_o one_o special_a by_o the_o remove_n of_o the_o contrary_a of_o the_o same_o kind_n because_o it_o be_v rather_o a_o faulty_a process_n in_o argumentation_n from_o the_o induce_n of_o a_o sacramental_a respect_n which_o be_v but_o a_o accident_n to_o the_o displace_n and_o denial_n of_o the_o subject_n &_o substance_n such_o as_o this_o be_v if_o i_o shall_v say_v

for_o although_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o the_o form_n or_o accident_n of_o breadâ—_n yet_o the_o relation_n and_o respect_n which_o the_o bread_n have_v by_o virtue_n of_o the_o promise_n unto_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n be_v the_o form_n of_o a_o sacrament_n whence_o it_o be_v a_o weak_a kind_n of_o reason_v to_o say_v a_o dove_n be_v the_o holy_a ghost_n therefore_o it_o
