to_o that_o flesh_n which_o be_v crucify_v and_o that_o blood_n which_o be_v shed_v by_o the_o soldier_n lance._n it_o be_v not_o then_o by_o a_o small_a difference_n that_o he_o make_v such_o a_o

which_o be_v crucify_v and_o that_o blood_n which_o be_v shed_v by_o the_o soldier_n lance_n be_v not_o spiritual_a he_o insinuate_v thus_o much_o that_o there_o be_v great_a difference_n between_o

that_o they_o be_v not_o one_o therefore_o that_o spiritual_a flesh_n which_o be_v take_v by_o the_o faithful_a only_o and_o that_o spiritual_a drink_n which_o be_v exhibit_v unto_o the_o believer_n
