to_o be_v that_o which_o we_o receive_v in_o this_o sacrament_n they_o utter_o destroy_v the_o very_a nature_n of_o it_o 26._o it_o be_v the_o design_n of_o this_o sacrament_n to_o exhibit_v and_o

that_o christ_n can_v not_o be_v more_o than_o once_o offer_v because_o he_o can_v but_o once_o suffer_v but_o to_o suppose_v that_o christ_n in_o his_o present_a glorify_a state_n can_v suffer_v be_v
