such_o fond_a &_o folyshe_a reason_n as_o though_o they_o be_v as_o strong_a as_o achilles_n and_o yet_o be_v they_o very_a naked_a &_o of_o no_o force_n or_o strenghe_a here_o may_v you_o also_o

brawler_n with_o their_o fond_a and_o foolyshe_a brablymente_n but_o because_o that_o the_o prynter_n show_v i_o that_o he_o lack_v matter_n to_o furnyshe_v ful_o the_o last_o leffe_n therefore_o i_o think_v to_o fill_v that_o which_o want_v with_o this_o reason_n &_o the_o answer_n reason_n the_o reason_n ✿_o how_o can_v that_o be_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n god_n and_o man_n since_o that_o a_o mouse_n or_o rat_n will_v eat_v it_o &_o the_o fire_n do_v burn_v it_o all_o these_o thing_n happen_v unto_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o altar_n therefore_o it_o can_v not_o be_v the_o very_a body_n of_o christ_n ¶_o i_o answer_v that_o though_o the_o mouse_n answer_n the_o answer_n or_o any_o other_o beast_n do_v eat_v the_o sacrament_n yet_o nevertheless_o the_o same_o be_v the_o very_a &_o real_a body_n of_o christ_n why_o then_o will_v you_o say_v the_o mouse_n eat_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n which_o seem_v inconvenient_a we_o grant_v that_o the_o sacrament_n wherein_o be_v the_o very_a body_n of_o christ_n be_v eat_v of_o the_o mouse_n yet_o that_o bless_a body_n be_v not_o digest_v and_o consume_v in_o the_o maw_n or_o stomach_n nether_a be_v it_o alter_v after_o such_o manner_n in_o the_o body_n of_o the_o eater_n whether_o it_o be_v mouse_n or_o man_n as_o other_o our_o corruptible_a meat_n be_v for_o so_o long_o remain_v the_o presen_n of_o the_o bless_a body_n as_o the_o quality_n of_o bread_n remain_v where_o ever_o those_o quality_n be_v whether_o they_o be_v in_o the_o mouth_n or_o stomach_n and_o when_o nature_n alter_v the_o quality_n of_o the_o sacrament_n then_o leave_v the_o presen_n of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n those_o quality_n so_o alter_v from_o their_o nature_n but_o what_o though_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n eat_v in_o the_o sacrament_n lie_v in_o the_o maw_n of_o a_o beast_n plain_o it_o be_v no_o derogation_n to_o the_o very_a presen_n of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n no_o more_o then_o if_o that_o same_o bless_a body_n shall_v be_v tread_v under_o the_o foot_n in_o the_o vile_a dyrte_n for_o that_o merciful_a lord_n christ_n suffer_v that_o bless_a body_n to_o be_v tear_v and_o crucyfy_v of_o the_o cruel_a soldier_n for_o our_o sake_n and_o yet_o that_o bless_a passion_n do_v not_o dyrogate_v the_o verity_n of_o that_o bless_a body_n and_o look_v as_o that_o bless_a body_n receive_v of_o anherityke_a or_o of_o a_o unpenitent_a sinner_n be_v nothing_o the_o less_o the_o very_a body_n of_o christ_n though_o it_o be_v receive_v of_o such_o ꝑson_n unto_o their_o damnation_n even_o so_o i_o say_v though_o a_o mouse_n or_o any_o beast_n do_v eat_v it_o yet_o be_v it_o nevertheless_o the_o very_a body_n of_o christ_n though_o it_o neither_o profyth_n nether_a disꝓfyte_v the_o unreasonable_a beast_n which_o be_v not_o apt_a to_o damnation_n or_o salvation_n by_o cause_n they_o lack_v reason_n &_o will_n can_v not_o do_v good_a neither_o evil_n then_o you_o will_v reply_v and_o say_v that_o the_o mouse_n may_v live_v by_o eat_v the_o sacrament_n i_o grant_v she_o may_v not_o by_o cause_n that_o body_n be_v digest_v and_o convert_v in_o to_o her_o flesh_n but_o as_o i_o show_v in_o my_o first_o sermon_n by_o cause_n that_o the_o quality_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n in_o the_o bless_a sacrament_n miraculous_o do_v norishe_v the_o eater_n as_o well_o as_o though_o the_o substance_n of_o bread_n be_v there_o where_o you_o say_v of_o the_o burn_v thereof_o and_o mouldynes_n or_o any_o such_o corruptyon_n to_o this_o i_o say_v that_o such_o action_n be_v execute_v and_o wrought_v in_o the_o

and_o yet_o that_o body_n of_o christ_n be_v unharmed_a unburnt_a uncorrupte_v for_o that_o bless_a body_n be_v now_o glorify_v &_o be_v in_o corruptyble_n and_o impassable_a ¶_o hec_fw-la est_fw-la
