former_a than_o it_o affirm_v a_o identity_n between_o bread_n and_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v a_o chimaera_n and_o all_o the_o forego_n discourse_n stand_v firm_a and_o immovable_a if_o

the_o bread_n be_v a_o fit_a emblem_n of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n and_o equivalent_o the_o same_o because_o it_o be_v by_o christ_n himself_o elevate_v to_o be_v a_o sacrament_n and_o as_o bread_n

this_o reason_n it_o be_v fit_o institute_v in_o this_o sacrament_n as_o a_o commemoration_n of_o christ_n passion_n and_o therefore_o our_o lord_n himself_o tell_v we_o v._o 63._o that_o it_o be_v
