If ought be lost in Transubstantiation,
It is Romes Senses onely; and her Reason:
She cannot finde what all else feele, taste, see,
And findes that there which is not cannot be.
If Sense may erre, then (sweet Rome) tell me why
Thy Vicars, Priests, all else by sense doe ••••y?
They know the Bread, Wine, which before them are
Then to be hallowed, such, and so declare
Forp certaine by their sense; yet presently
When sacred, 'gainst sense they it bread deny.
If sense were certaine, at the first, to know
Them Bread and Wine; how doth it senselesse grow
Within a Moment? sure thy sense is fled,
Else thou must judge them stil but Wine and Bread:
Thy meate thou tryest by sense; thy silver, gold
By sense are alwayes felt, weigh'd, try'd and told.
Thou ever sel'st, but never takes backe Lead
For Gold: thy Sense here erres not, nor is dead.
If then Rome tries all else so sure by sense,
She must, her Host judge nought but bread from
hence,
Since Christ himselfe hath made theq sense onely
The Proper judge of his humanity,
Birth, Miracles, Death, Resurrection,
The truth whereof are prov'd by sense alone.
