Answeres to the Obiections of Romish Doctours, taken from the Testimonies of Antient Fathers, for Transubstantiation.

Or, an Antidote to expell all their poysonsome Preten∣ces in that behalfe.

SECT. I.

THis our Antidote is compounded of five Ingredients, vsed for the Discovery of the Vnconscionablenes of your Dispu∣ters, in their Obiecting the Testimonies of Fathers under False pretences. First, upon their terming the mysticall Act A Worke of Omnipotencie. Secondly, their denying of the Eucharist to be Na∣ked, and Bare Bread. Thirdly, in forbidding the Communicants to rely vpon the Iudgement of their Senses. Fourthly, in their men∣tioning the Change of Bread and Wine, in this Sacrament, and cal∣ling it Transmutation, Transition, and the like. Fiftly and last∣ly in forcing of the speeches of Fathers, which may seeme to make for Transubstantiation, as absolutely spoken of the Sacra∣ment of the Eucharist, which the same Fathers doe apply as well to the Sacrament of Baptisme, and also to other sacred Rites, wherein you beleeve there is not any Substantiall Change at all.
