Excerpt from The Absolute Impossibility of Transubstantiation: Demonstrated Upon a careful Review of this ensuing Discourse, I find no cause to make any abatement from the Title of it, which promises to the Reader no less than strict Demonstration. If any of the following Arguments should happen to fall short of these pretensions to the highest and clearest sort of Proof that can be, it is wholly My fault, and I will mend it upon the first Notice of it. For I am sure that the Subject-matter is capable of the most rigorous Demonstration that ever was, and it has always been held, That the Essential Properties and Affections of a Body, such as Quantity, Figure, and its relation to Place, &c., are the Proper Subject of Demonstration. And let me here add, That such a Doctrine as Transubstantiation, neither is, nor can be a Matter of Revelation. For Scripture was given us, Either (1st) to Reveal things which were unknown to us by Natural Light: Such as the manner of the Creation of the World, and the greater and more amazing Secret of the Redemption of it, wherein all Heaven was engaged, the Father sent the Son, and the Son afterwards sent the Holy Ghost, upon which occasion we have a clear and manifest declaration of that Doctrine, which is commonly called the Trinity of Persons in the Godhead, which was not so express before, under the Old Testament.
