which_o thing_n it_o be_v show_v evidentlie_o unto_o we_o that_o nothing_o be_v understand_v in_o that_o meat_n and_o drink_v corporal_o but_o all_o be_v to_o be_v take_v spiritual_o for_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n which_o be_v signify_v by_o his_o heart_n be_v not_o feed_v with_o corporal_a food_n but_o be_v nowrish_v and_o quicken_v by_o that_o word_n of_o god_n which_o the_o same_o doctor_n

declare_v for_o he_o speak_v of_o the_o daily_a bread_n which_o the_o faithful_a desire_n to_o be_v give_v they_o and_o therefore_o he_o subjoin_v these_o word_n if_o it_o be_v our_o daily_a bread_n why_o take_v you_o it_o only_o at_o the_o end_n of_o a_o whole_a year_n as_o the_o grecian_n in_o the_o east_n use_v to_o do_v take_v then_o that_o daily_a which_o will_v be_v profitable_a to_o thou_o daily_a and_o live_v so_o that_o thou_o may_v be_v worthy_a daily_a to_o receive_v it_o it_o be_v manifest_a then_o concern_v what_o bread_n he_o speak_v to_o wit_n concern_v the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n which_o nowrish_v not_o in_o that_o it_o go_v down_o into_o the_o body_n but_o because_o it_o be_v the_o bread_n of_o everlasting_a life_n by_o the_o authority_n then_o of_o this_o most_o learned_a man_n we_o be_v admonish_v mind_n that_o there_o be_v a_o great_a difference_n between_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n which_o suffer_v and_o his_o blood_n which_o gush_v forth_o out_o of_o his_o side_n on_o the_o cross_n and_o between_o this_o body_n which_o be_v celebrate_v daily_a by_o the_o faithful_a in_o the_o mystery_n of_o the_o lord_n passion_n and_o that_o blood_n which_o be_v take_v by_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o faithful_a see_v it_o be_v the_o mystery_n only_o of_o that_o blood_n wherewith_o the_o whole_a world_n be_v redeem_v that_o bread_n and_o that_o drink_n therefore_o according_a to_o that_o they_o be_v see_v be_v not_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n but_o according_a to_o that_o they_o furnish_v the_o nowrishment_n of_o life_n spiritual_o but_o that_o body_n of_o christ_n wherein_o he_o be_v crucify_v carry_v none_o other_o shape_n or_o appearance_n than_o wherein_o it_o do_v consist_v true_o for_o it_o be_v true_o that_o body_n which_o be_v see_v which_o be_v touch_v which_o be_v crucify_v which_o be_v bury_v likewise_n that_o blood_n which_o gush_v forth_o out_o of_o his_o side_n seem_v not_o one_o thing_n outward_o and_o mystical_o cover_v another_o thing_n inwardlie_o therefore_o it_o be_v true_a blood_n which_o spring_v from_o that_o true_a body_n but_o that_o blood_n of_o christ_n which_o now_o the_o faithful_a drink_n and_o the_o body_n which_o they_o eat_v be_v one_o thing_n according_a to_o their_o shape_n and_o another_o thing_n according_a to_o their_o signification_n for_o it_o be_v one_o way_n whereby_o they_o feed_v the_o body_n with_o corporal_a food_n and_o another_o whereby_o they_o fill_v our_o soul_n with_o the_o substantial_a nowrishment_n of_o eternal_a life_n concern_v which_o thing_n saint_n jerome_n testimony_n in_o his_o commentary_n upon_o saint_n paul_n epistle_n to_o the_o ephesian_n write_v so_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n say_v he_o may_v be_v

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 distinction_n of_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n for_o while_o he_o say_v that_o this_o flesh_n or_o blood_n which_o be_v take_v by_o the_o faithful_a be_v spiritual_a but_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 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 these_o as_o there_o be_v between_o corporal_a thing_n and_o spiritual_a visible_a and_o invisible_a natural_a and_o supernatural_a and_o in_o respect_n that_o they_o differ_v so_o it_o follow_v 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 daily_a to_o be_v drunken_a differ_v from_o the_o flesh_n which_o be_v crucify_v and_o the_o blood_n which_o be_v shed_v by_o the_o soldier_n lance_n as_o the_o authority_n of_o this_o holy_a man_n

be_v believe_v in_o a_o mystery_n than_o as_o it_o be_v see_v outward_o moreov_a other_o the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v crucify_v show_v no_o more_o outward_o than_o it_o be_v in_o itself_o because_o it_o be_v the_o flesh_n of_o a_o true_a man_n only_o to_o wit_n a_o true_a body_n under_o the_o shape_n of_o a_o true_a body_n but_o we_o must_v not_o only_o consider_v in_o that_o bread_n this_o body_n of_o christ_n but_o also_o the_o body_n of_o the_o whole_a believer_n in_o he_o must_v be_v represent_v for_o which_o cause_n it_o be_v make_v up_o of_o many_o grain_n of_o wheat_n because_o so_o the_o body_n of_o the_o church_n be_v make_v up_o of_o many_o believer_n by_o the_o word_n of_o christ_n for_o which_o cause_n as_o in_o the_o mystical_a bread_n the_o body_n of_o

that_o bread_n be_v call_v the_o body_n of_o the_o church_n or_o believe_v people_n so_o also_o of_o necessity_n it_o must_v be_v understand_v to_o be_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n not_o corporal_o

of_o they_o be_v offer_v without_o the_o other_o because_o the_o people_n cannot_a be_v without_o christ_n nor_o christ_n without_o his_o people_n even_o as_o the_o head_n can_v be_v without_o the_o member_n nor_o the_o member_n without_o the_o head_n for_o the_o water_n in_o that_o sacrament_n signify_v the_o people_n then_o if_o that_o wine_n which_o be_v sanctify_v by_o the_o office_n of_o the_o minister_n thereof_o be_v turn_v corporal_o into_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n the_o water_n also_o which_o be_v mix_v with_o it_o of_o necessity_n must_v be_v convert_v corporal_o into_o the_o
