therefore_o although_o they_o be_v many_o yet_o be_v they_o all_o but_o one_o body_n even_o so_o all_o the_o member_n of_o the_o church_n which_o be_v many_o be_v feed_v with_o one_o and_o the_o

the_o church_n be_v one_o body_n ergo_fw-la all_o the_o member_n of_o the_o church_n feed_v on_o one_o bread_n so_o this_o be_v a_o demonstration_n of_o the_o cause_n by_o the_o effect_n all_o that_o feed_v on_o one_o bread_n be_v one_o body_n all_o the_o member_n of_o the_o church_n feed_v on_o one_o bread_n therefore_o all_o the_o member_n of_o the_o church_n be_v one_o body_n here_o you_o may_v

the_o bread_n of_o life_n be_v understand_v as_o principal_o and_o chief_o it_o must_v see_v the_o bread_n which_o we_o break_v be_v as_o the_o apostle_n say_v the_o communion_n of_o christ_n body_n which_o we_o participate_v in_o break_v of_o the_o sacramental_a bread_n then_o the_o ground_n of_o the_o demonstration_n be_v strong_a and_o sure_a that_o the_o bread_n be_v one_o in_o number_n
