turn_v this_o argument_n upon_o their_o own_o head_n that_o as_o moses_n call_v the_o serpent_n a_o rod_n when_o it_o be_v not_o a_o rod_n indeed_o but_o a_o serpent_n so_o christ_n call_v the_o bread_n his_o body_n when_o it_o be_v not_o indeed_o natural_o his_o body_n but_o in_o substance_n bread_n and_o by_o his_o ordinance_n a_o sacrament_n of_o his_o body_n and_o as_o the_o papist_n will_v have_v saint_n paul_n to_o call_v that_o bread_n which_o they_o say_v be_v not_o bread_n so_o why_o may_v not_o our_o saviour_n christ_n call_v that_o his_o body_n which_o not_o proper_o but_o
