forasmuch_o as_o it_o be_v leave_v doubtful_a and_o uncertain_a how_o they_o receive_v and_o therefore_o in_o itself_o it_o be_v a_o circumstance_n most_o indifferent_a objection_n against_o this_o it_o will_v be_v say_v that_o many_o great_a and_o learned_a man_n grant_v and_o confess_v that_o christ_n sit_v when_o he_o deliver_v it_o and_o the_o disciple_n when_o they_o receive_v it_o i_o

be_v a_o matter_n necessary_a because_o albeit_o they_o sit_v at_o the_o passeover_n the_o gesture_n may_v peradventure_o be_v alter_v at_o the_o supper_n many_o thing_n pass_v between_o the_o keep_n of_o the_o one_o and_o the_o administration_n of_o the_o other_o for_o here_o i_o will_v be_v resolve_v of_o these_o point_n whether_o of_o a_o matter_n not_o write_v we_o may_v conclude_v a_o
