You profess, that Christs Body and Blood are not sensible there; That it is not the quantity, shape, number, ⟨p. 82⟩colour, smell, weight, &c. of Christs Body and Blood which we perceive, and that these Accidents are not the Accidents of Christ. 2. And you believe that the Bread and Wine is gone, that is, changed into the body and blood of Christ; so that no part of their substance, matter or form is left. And you put no third substance under these Accidents in the stead. So that you maintain, that it is the quantity of nothing, the figure of nothing, the colour, the weight, the situation, the smell, the number, &c. of nothing, which all mens Intellects by sense perceive. So that the Controversy is, Whether it be any substance at all which by those accidents we perceive? And when we see, handle, taste, smell it, you believe (or say you believe) that it is none; neither Bread or Wine, or any other: Now if by sense we cannot be sure of the very Being of a substance, we can be sure of nothing in the world. Reason VI. Yea, it is to be noted, that though Brutes have no Intellects, yet their Sense and Imagination herein wholly agreeth with the common perception of man: A Dog or a Mouse will eat the bread as common bread, and a Swine will drink the Wine as common Wine: and therefore have the same perception of it as of common bread and wine; And so their senses must be all deceived as well as mans. And Brutes have as accurate perfect senses as men have, and some much more. And mere natural operations are more certain and constant (as we see by the worlds experience) than mere Reason and Argumentation. Birds and Beasts are constant in their perceptions and course of action, being not left to the power of Mutable free-will. Reason VII. You hereby quite overthrow your own foundation, which is fetched from the Concord of all your party, which you call all the Church: You think ⟨p. 83⟩that a General Council could not agree to any thing a• an Article of faith if it were not such; (when it is bu• the Major Vote that agree); You say that Tradition is Infallible, because All the Church agreeth in i• (when it is perhaps but your Sect, which is a Mino• part).
