But do you not overthrow all this, when yo• profess, that All the senses of all the sound men in th• world, and all the simple perceptions of their Intellect• by sense, do agree, that there is substance, yea, d• specie Bread and Wine after the Consecration? No on• mans perception by sense disagreed in this, from th• institution of the Sacrament to this day, that can be proved, or the least probability of it given. And i• this Concord be no proof, much less is yours: For▪ 1. The Intellect in Reasoning is more fallible than i• its Immediate perception of things sensed (or perceived by sense). 2. Yours is but the Consent of some men; but ours is the Consent of all mankind. Yours among your selves hath oft in Councils a Minor part of dissenters, who must be overvoted by the rest: But our Case hath never one dissenting sense or perception. Reason VIII. By this denial of sense, you overthrow the foundations of Humane Converse: How can men make any sure Contracts, or perform any duty on a sure ground, if the Concordant senses of all the world be false? Parents cannot be sure which are their own Children; nor Children which are their own Parents: Husbands cannot certainly know their own Wives from their neighbours. No Subjects can certainly know their own Prince. No man can be sure, whether he buy or sell, receive money or pay it, &c. No man can be sure that there is a Pope, or Priest, or man in the world. Reason IX. You seem to me to Blaspheme God, and to make him the greatest Deceiver of mankind, even ⟨p. 84⟩in his holy Worship: Whereas God cannot lye; It is impossible: And the Devil is the Father of lies: And you make God to tell all the world (as plainly as if words told them) even by demonstration to their sight, smell, feeling, taste, that, here is Bread and Wine, when there is none; yea, that it is at least some substance which they perceive, when it is none at all. Reason X. You thus fain God to be Cruel to Mankind, and that under pretence of Grace; Even to put such hard Conditions of salvation on man, which seem to us impossible, to any but mad men, or those who by faction have cast their minds into a dream.
