for_o thy_o body_n be_v in_o heaven_n as_o in_o another_o and_o different_a thing_n but_o in_o the_o sacrament_n substantial_o in_o it_o as_o man_n soul_n and_o body_n be_v in_o man_n as_o the_o

why_o this_o be_v but_o nature_n whereas_o to_o go_v to_o heaven_n it_o be_v necessary_a we_o walk_v in_o a_o supernatural_a path_n much_o contrary_n to_o nature_n wherefore_o sure_o this_o can_v be_v
