Secondly, Note; That when men are heated in dispute, they are apt to make false inferences from the tenets and sayings of their opposers.
Eliphaz saith, Job denied providence, whereas Job adored it; that he denied Gods knowledge of the good and evil done in the world, because he maintained, that good men receive evil, and evil men good in the world. When we deny transubstantiation, or that the bread is changed into the very substance of the body of Christ; Papists infer, that we deny, that Christ spake truly, when at his Last Supper he said, This is my body; and they will hence force it upon us, that we say, God is not omnipotent, because we affirm that it is inconsistent with the nature of a true humane body (such as Christ hath now in heaven, though glorified and spiritual) to be in many places at once. For as some deny the omnipresence of the divine nature, so Papists affirm the omni-presence of the humane nature, And (say they) while we deny this, we deny the omnipotency of God. Others charge us that we make God the author of sin, and that, according to our tenet, all the impiety and wickedness that is in the world, lieth at his door; because we affirm, That God hath passed an Eternal absolute ⟨p. 123⟩and unchangeable decree concerning all the sons of men. When all other arguments fail, how usual is it to make the divinest truths guilty of the most uncomely and ugly consequences that are imaginable.
