protestant_a disputant_n seem_v to_o have_v go_v a_o little_a beyond_o his_o leader_n have_v he_o express_v himself_o in_o the_o point_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n what_o become_v of_o it_o whether_o

remain_v too_o crude_a and_o raw_a and_o betray_v the_o speaker_n for_o a_o lutheran_n at_o least_o if_o not_o for_o a_o favourer_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n for_o as_o for_o that_o phrase_n

that_o he_o be_v there_o as_o spirit_n and_o glorify_a body_n which_o st._n paul_n call_v spiritual_a be_v in_o the_o place_n they_o possess_v so_o then_o the_o one_o tell_v you_o the_o body_n of_o

that_o in_o some_o sense_n they_o must_v needs_o be_v take_v literal_o which_o be_v enough_o to_o plead_v authority_n for_o the_o gentleman_n error_n but_o that_o which_o they_o preach_v concern_v a_o
