the_o manner_n itself_o as_o for_o we_o we_o all_o open_o profess_v with_o st._n bernard_n that_o the_o presence_n of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o sacrament_n be_v spiritual_a and_o

act_v of_o god_n holy_a spirit_n we_o contrariwise_o confess_v with_o the_o father_n that_o this_o manner_n of_o presence_n be_v unaccountable_a and_o past_o find_v out_o not_o to_o be_v search_v and_o pry_v into_o by_o reason_n but_o believe_v by_o faith_n and_o if_o it_o seem_v impossible_a that_o the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n shall_v descend_v and_o come_v to_o be_v our_o food_n through_o so_o great_a a_o distance_n we_o must_v remember_v how_o much_o the_o power_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n exceed_v our_o sense_n and_o our_o apprehension_n and_o how_o absurd_a it_o will_v be_v to_o

4._o yet_o our_o faith_n do_v not_o cause_n or_o make_v that_o presence_n but_o apprehend_v it_o as_o most_o true_o and_o real_o effect_v by_o the_o word_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o faith_n whereby_o we_o be_v say_v to_o eat_v the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o that_o only_o whereby_o we_o believe_v that_o he_o die_v for_o our_o sin_n for_o this_o faith_n be_v require_v and_o suppose_v to_o

visible_o 5._o the_o result_n of_o all_o this_o be_v that_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n be_v sacramental_o unite_v to_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n so_o that_o christ_n be_v true_o give_v

that_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n be_v join_v to_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n because_o that_o in_o the_o celebration_n of_o the_o holy_a eucharist_n the_o flesh_n be_v give_v together_o
