give_v to_o the_o very_a sign_n to_o wit_n unto_o the_o bread_n and_o the_o wine_n second_o to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v more_o full_o declare_v this_o sacramental_a manner_n of_o join_v the_o matter_n with_o the_o sign_n we_o add_v that_o it_o be_v significative_a not_o as_o though_o god_n do_v only_o signify_v unto_o we_o in_o the_o sacrament_n conjunction_n what_o be_v call_v a_o significative_a
