substance_n of_o bread_n give_v place_n to_o the_o substance_n of_o his_o body_n which_o succeed_v by_o virtue_n of_o his_o omnipotent_a word_n and_o because_o the_o soul_n and_o the_o divinity_n

accompany_v the_o same_o second_o we_o learn_v that_o so_o long_o as_o the_o species_n be_v there_o uncorrupted_a the_o same_o body_n remain_v under_o they_o with_o its_o quantity_n beauty_n immortality_n and_o glory_n but_o supernatural_o and_o in_o a_o spiritual_a and_o divine_a manner_n without_o be_v perceive_v unless_o by_o the_o eye_n of_o faith_n as_o we_o have_v before_o declare_v

have_v his_o body_n hide_v and_o not_o visible_a in_o the_o sacrament_n here_o it_o shall_v be_v good_a to_o note_v wherefore_o our_o saviour_n give_v his_o body_n veil_v under_o the_o show_n of_o

the_o sacrament_n for_o since_o that_o every_o sacrament_n be_v a_o visible_a sign_n of_o a_o invisible_a thing_n it_o follow_v that_o he_o give_v his_o body_n in_o this_o sacrament_n be_v to_o
