sacrament_n may_v work_v that_o in_o we_o which_o they_o do_v contain_v that_o look_v what_o we_o now_o administer_v and_o receive_v in_o form_n we_o may_v also_o receive_v it_o in_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o thing_n he_o say_v that_o these_o thing_n be_v celebrate_v and_o do_v in_o show_n &_o form_n and_o not_o in_o truth_n that_o be_v in_o similitude_n or_o likeness_n and_o not_o in_o the_o

another_o wherefore_o that_o body_n and_o blood_n which_o be_v celebrate_v and_o receive_v in_o the_o church_n differ_v from_o that_o body_n and_o blood_n which_o be_v know_v to_o be_v now_o glorify_v

of_o a_o thing_n and_o the_o truth_n itself_o so_o much_o difference_n there_o be_v between_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o thus_o we_o see_v that_o that_o mystery_n of_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n
