CHAP. XIV. Master Prynne his twelve Arguments brought to prove that the Lords Supper is a converting Ordinance, discussed and answered.

:114img 29

His first Argument answered by three distinctions. His second proveth nothing against us, but yieldeth somewhat which is for us. His third charged with divers absurdities. His fourth concerning the greatest proximity and most immediate presence of God, and of Christ in the Sacrament retorted against himself, and moreover not proved nor made good by him. His fifth Argument hath both universal grace and other absurdities in it. His sixth concerning conversion by the eye, by the book of nature, by Sacrifices, by Miracles, as well as by the ear, examined and confuted in the particulars. His seventh not proved. Nor yet his eighth, concerning conversion by afflictions without the word. His ninth concerning the rule of contraries is misapplied by him. His tenth concerning the ends of the Sacrament yieldeth the cause and mireth himself. His eleventh a gross petitio principii. His twelfth appealing to the experience of Christians, rectified in the state, and repelled for the weight. That this debate concerning the nature, end use, and effect of the Sacrament, doth clearly cast the balance of the whole controversy concerning Suspension. Lucas ⟨image 30⟩Osiander cited by M. Prynne against us, is more against himself.
