             but
             wonder

             been
             derived
             from
             the

             which
             he

             much

             From
             whence
             it

             let
             him
             take
             which
             he

             Now
             that
             which
             hath
             been
             said
             of

             Eucharisticall
             Sacrifice

             of
             praise

             is

             may
             so

             it

             which
             follows
             after
             ,
             consisting
             in
             their
             offring
             to
             the
             Lord
             ,
             their selves

             a
             reasonable
             holy
             and
             lively
             Sacrifice
             unto
             him
             :
             And
             in
             truth
             I
             cannot
             but
             wonder
             ,
             that
             the
             Doctor
             should
             insist
             upon
             this
             ,
             considering
             he
             requires
             a
             materiall
             Altar
             for
             his
             Sacrifice
             ,
             derives
             his
             Priesthood
             from
             
               Melchisedech
               ,
            
             appropriates
             it
             to
             the
             Apostles
             and
             their
             Successors
             ,
             makes
             it
             stand
             in
             commemoration
             or
             representation
             ,
             and
             lastly
             ,
             every where
             with
             scorn
             enough

             excludes
             the

             right
             thereunto
             ,
             but
             thus
             we
             see
             how
             a
             weak
             cause
             is
             driven

             fortifie
             it self
             :
             And
             yet
             ,
             as
             if
             now
             he
             had
             made
             a

             he
             concludes
             this
             argument
             drawn
             from
