body_n answer_n we_o receive_v not_o christ_n body_n in_o the_o sacrament_n as_o he_o lie_v in_o the_o manger_n or_o as_o he_o be_v in_o heaven_n but_o as_o he_o be_v nail_v on_o the_o cross_n and_o

therefore_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v administer_v to_o the_o one_o as_o well_o as_o to_o the_o other_o in_o the_o four_o place_n they_o say_v there_o ought_v to_o be_v a_o difference_n reason_n 4_o betwixt_o the_o clergy_n and_o the_o laity_n therefore_o the_o minister_n receive_v both_o sign_n and_o the_o people_n but_o one_o as_o be_v fit_v that_o difference_n may_v be_v make_v i_o grant_v the_o minister_n call_v be_v above_o the_o people_n 3.28_o answ_n the_o laity_n have_v as_o great_a a_o part_n in_o christ_n passion_n as_o the_o clergy_n gal._n 3.28_o and_o so_o there_o be_v difference_n but_o if_o we_o regard_v their_o person_n the_o people_n have_v as_o great_a a_o part_n in_o christ_n and_o his_o passion_n as_o any_o of_o the_o clergy_n outward_a difference_n there_o
