P. Yes: When you can prove, that the consecrated Bread and Wine are the proper objects of sense: which we deny; they being not now Bread and Wine.
R. Is it by the Perception of sense that you deny it? or by other means?
P. No: It is by Faith and Reason which are above Sense.
R. Now you come to deny the Principle which you granted: Sense is the perceiver of its own objects: No Faith, no Reason can perceive them, but by sense: And if due sensation perceive them, and Faith deny them, then Faith denieth sense to be the proper natural perceiver of its objects, and our judgement of things sensible to be such as must follow that perception. But we must dispute of this anon, and will not now anticipate it. Only remember, that if you deny sense which is the first Principle, no mortal man is capable of disputing with you, there being no lower principle to which we can have recourse, and resolve our differences.
