to_o adore_v the_o dispute_n that_o be_v betwixt_o nestorius_n &_o s_n cyril_n of_o alexandria_n plain_o show_v that_o in_o those_o time_n this_o mystery_n be_v universal_o believe_v nestorius_n

the_o divinity_n be_v not_o unite_v in_o one_o person_n if_o s._n cyril_n have_v believe_v that_o what_o we_o eat_v with_o our_o mouth_n be_v mere_a bread_n he_o may_v easy_o have_v answer_v that_o this_o argument_n only_o prove_v the_o nature_n of_o bread_n &_o the_o divine_a nature_n be_v not_o unite_v in_o one_o person_n but_o because_o he_o believe_v that_o the_o sacrament_n which_o seem_v mere_a bread_n be_v not_o any_o long_a bread_n but_o the_o true_a substance_n of_o christ_n body_n therefore_o he_o answer_v that_o although_o we_o do_v not_o eat_v the_o divine_a nature_n yet_o the_o holy_a flesh_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o common_a flesh_n flesh_n it_o be_v the_o proper_a body_n of_o the_o word_n which_o give_v life_n to_o all_o thing_n this_o argument_n and_o answer_v you_o may_v read_v in_o his_o apology_n for_o his_o anathema_n the_o catholics_n &_o the_o nestorian_n both_o agree_v in_o the_o common_a belief_n that_o the_o sacrament_n be_v not_o bread_n but_o the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n otherwise_o nestorius_n have_v be_v the_o most_o silly_a disputant_n that_o ever_o live_v &_o s._n cyril_n have_v be_v quite_o infatuate_v that_o do_v not_o give_v another_o answer_n nestorius_n argue_v we_o do_v not_o eat_v the_o divinity_n therefore_o the_o flesh_n be_v not_o unite_v to_o the_o divine_a person_n s._n cyril_n answer_v the_o flesh_n which_o we_o eat_v gives_z
