But further, to show how idle and absurd it is to take our Saviour's Words in a proper Sense, we shall show that it is utterly against Sense and Reason, as well as contrary to Scripture, as you have heard.

First; It is against Sense. What greater Evidence can there be of things, than what Sense affordeth? But if this which the Papists affirm, about the consecrated Bread being the real Body of Christ, be true, the Senses of all the World are deceived: For since the great Argument for Christianity (as all agree) was the Words that Christ spoke, and the Works which Christ did; now how could we be sure he did so speak, or so work, if we may not credit the Reports of our Eyes and Ears? This was St. Luke's great Evidence of the Truth of what he wrote, That it was delivered to him by Eye-Witnesses, Luke 1.1, 2. and St. John's: What we have seen with our Eyes, and our Hands have handled of the Word of Life, 1 Joh. 1.1. And St. Paul's for the Resurrection, That he was seen of Cephas, then of the Twelve, then of above five hundred Brethren at once, 1 Cor. 15.5, 6. Even Thomas his Infidelity yielded to this Argument, That if he did thrust his hand into Christ's Side, he would believe, Joh. 20.25. Christ judged this was a convincing Argument, when the Apostles thought they had seen a Spirit: Handle me, and see: for a Spirit hath not Flesh and Blood, as you see me have. Luke 24.39.
