be_v cease_v also_o together_o with_o the_o law_n and_o in_o stead_n thereof_o a_o sacrament_n more_o suitable_a to_o the_o gospel_n be_v institute_v in_o bread_n and_o wine_n which_o of_o all_o

we_o that_o live_v under_o the_o gospel_n not_o to_o rest_v ourselves_o in_o any_o bodily_a or_o outward_a observation_n as_o if_o they_o be_v the_o only_a or_o principal_a duty_n of_o the_o gospel_n but_o to_o use_v they_o as_o help_v only_o the_o better_a to_o enable_v we_o for_o the_o due_a perform_v of_o our_o spiritual_a service_n which_o be_v the_o perfection_n the_o gospel_n call_v we_o
