a_o certain_a resemblance_n because_o look_v what_o property_n the_o fruit_n of_o the_o vine_n have_v in_o respect_n of_o our_o body_n to_o wit_n to_o comfort_v man_n and_o to_o make_v they_o glad_a heart_n the_o same_o have_v christ_n and_o the_o fruit_n of_o his_o grace_n receive_v by_o faith_n in_o respect_n of_o our_o soul_n namely_o to_o replenishe_v our_o heart_n with_o all_o spiritual_a

and_o even_o in_o like_a manner_n be_v the_o bread_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n call_v his_o body_n because_o as_o we_o have_v say_v before_o look_v what_o proper_a and_o peculiar_a office_n the_o bread_n have_v or_o yield_v to_o our_o natural_a body_n namely_o to_o nourish_v and_o strengthen_v the_o same_o the_o like_a do_v jesus_n christ_n body_n break_v take_v hold_v of_o by_o faith_n

the_o true_a meaning_n of_o these_o word_n for_o the_o better_a performance_n whereof_o i_o will_v have_v this_o to_o
it_o it_o be_v not_o bread_n only_o but_o his_o body_n also_o wherefore_o they_o must_v of_o necessity_n confess_v that_o these_o word_n this_o be_v my_o body_n &_o these_o again_o this_o bread_n be_v

answer_v they_o must_v of_o necessity_n then_o admit_v the_o trope_n or_o figure_n synecdoche_n and_o that_o therefore_o the_o institution_n of_o christ_n or_o the_o word_n of_o the_o institution_n

christ_n body_n do_v they_o not_o i_o beseech_v you_o speak_v as_o if_o they_o shall_v say_v this_o be_v a_o live_a creature_n therefore_o it_o be_v a_o man_n and_o again_o do_v they_o reason_n less_o
