say_v i_o be_o the_o bread_n of_o life_n he_o that_o come_v to_o i_o shall_v never_o hunger_n this_o be_v evident_a that_o man_n natural_a life_n do_v not_o more_o depend_v on_o the_o virtue_n of_o the_o bread_n that_o perish_v than_o the_o soul_n life_n of_o grace_n and_o glory_n depend_v on_o that_o virtue_n that_o proceed_v from_o a_o suffering_n jesus_n i_o live_v say_v the_o apostle_n

to_o man_n nature_n none_o for_o a_o constancy_n so_o pleasant_a none_o so_o strengthen_v a_o man_n can_v better_o subsist_v with_o bread_n without_o other_o meat_n than_o with_o any_o other_o meat_n

sinner_n through_o the_o weakness_n of_o the_o flesh_n can_v never_o digest_v that_o strong_a meat_n and_o so_o can_v live_v by_o it_o but_o for_o a_o poor_a weak_a infirm_a sinner_n to_o be_v maintain_v in_o a_o life_n of_o grace_n and_o acceptance_n with_o a_o offend_a god_n in_o and_o by_o a_o saviour_n be_v a_o way_n of_o live_v so_o suitable_a to_o a_o sinner_n that_o man_n and_o
