A27625	A sermon of the true, spiritual transubstantiation, oppos'd to the gross, carnal, imaginary transubstantiation wherein the true meaning of the Lord's Supper is opened, in order to a constant, habitual and actual preparation to it / by Beverley.	Beverley, Thomas.	1687 (1687)	Wing B2175; ESTC R18401	43,861	64

be_v not_o receive_v it_o than_o do_v not_o work_v good_a where_o that_o preparation_n be_v not_o because_o it_o be_v not_o receive_v but_o if_o it_o be_v receive_v it_o have_v its_o certain_a
