with_o christ_n in_o the_o cup_n of_o blessing_n and_o break_v of_o bread_n than_o they_o must_v flee_v from_o all_o idolatrous_a service_n and_o not_o partake_v in_o they_o the_o consequence_n say_v he_o be_v manifest_a to_o any_o understand_a person_n as_o i_o take_v you_o to_o be_v for_o to_o communicate_v with_o he_o in_o that_o manner_n be_v as_o much_o as_o to_o acknowledge_v jesus_n only_o

from_o the_o intention_n of_o the_o feast_n upon_o the_o jewish_a sacrifice_n of_o which_o whosoever_o do_v eat_v he_o thereby_o become_v of_o that_o religion_n and_o profess_v to_o worship_n that_o

who_o sacrifice_n be_v offer_v to_o daemon_n whosoever_o do_v eat_v of_o they_o thereby_o he_o make_v a_o acknowledgement_n of_o their_o deity_n and_o that_o he_o be_v one_o of_o their_o servant_n and_o worshipper_n which_o instance_n carry_v in_o they_o this_o general_a reason_n that_o the_o eat_v continual_o of_o any_o one_o meat_n signify_v we_o to_o be_v of_o his_o family_n or_o his_o friend_n and_o familiar_a acquaintance_n and_o so_o this_o religious_a eat_n at_o their_o table_n and_o of_o their_o meat_n be_v a_o token_n and_o a_o declaration_n of_o friendship_n and_o society_n
