learn_v we_o and_o yet_o these_o say_a word_n limit_v not_o the_o mystery_n of_o the_o supper_n for_o as_o much_o as_o that_o mystery_n of_o eat_v christ_n flesh_n and_o drink_v his_o blood_n extend_v

spiritual_a eat_n and_o the_o drink_n of_o his_o blood_n be_v a_o spiritual_a drink_n and_o therefore_o no_o evil_a man_n can_v eat_v his_o flesh_n nor_o drink_v his_o blood_n as_o this_o my_o forth_o

their_o mouth_n the_o sacrament_n of_o his_o body_n and_o blood_n eating_n now_o where_o you_o note_v here_o three_o manner_n of_o eatinge_n and_o yet_o but_o two_o manner_n of_o eatinge_n of_o christ_n this_o your_o note_n be_v very_o true_a if_o it_o be_v true_o understand_v for_o there_o be_v in_o deed_n three_o manner_n of_o eatinge_n one_o spiritual_a only_o a_o other_o spiritual_a and_o sacramental_a both_o together_o &_o the_o three_o sacramental_a only_o and_o yet_o christ_n himself_o be_v eat_v but_o in_o the_o first_o two_o manner_n of_o way_n as_o you_o true_o teach_v and_o for_o to_o set_v out_o this_o distinction_n somewhat_o more_o plain_o that_o plain_a man_n may_v understand_v it_o it_o may_v thus_o be_v term_v that_o there_o be_v a_o spiritual_a eat_n only_o when_o christ_n by_o a_o true_a faith_n be_v eat_v without_o the_o sacrament_n also_o there_o be_v a_o other_o eat_v both_o spiritual_a and_o sacramental_a when_o the_o visible_a sacrament_n be_v eat_v with_o the_o mouth_n and_o christ_n himself_o be_v eat_v with_o a_o true_a faith_n the_o three_o eat_v be_v sacramental_a only_o when_o the_o sacrament_n be_v eat_v and_o not_o christ_n himself_o so_o that_o in_o the_o first_o be_v christ_n eat_v without_o the_o sacrament_n in_o the_o second_o he_o be_v eat_v with_o the_o sacrament_n and_o in_o the_o third_o the_o sacrament_n be_v eat_v without_o he_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v call_v sacramental_a eat_n only_o because_o only_o the_o sacrament_n be_v eat_v and_o not_o christ_n himself_o after_o the_o two_o first_o manner_n of_o way_n godly_a man_n do_v eat_v who_o feed_v and_o live_v by_o christ_n the_o third_o manner_n of_o way_n the_o wicked_a do_v eat_v and_o therefore_o as_o s._n augustine_n say_v they_o neither_o eat_v christ_n flesh_n nor_o drink_v his_o blood_n although_o every_o day_n they_o eat_v the_o sacrament_n thereof_o 26._o to_o the_o condemnation_n of_o their_o presumption_n and_o for_o this_o

for_o i_o say_v that_o good_a man_n eat_v the_o lord_n body_n spiritual_o to_o their_o eternal_a nourishment_n where_o as_o evil_a man_n eat_v but_o the_o bread_n carnal_o to_o their_o eternal_a punishment_n and_o as_o you_o note_v of_o s._n augustine_n that_o baptism_n be_v very_o well_o call_v health_n 24._o and_o the_o sacrament_n of_o christ_n body_n call_v life_n as_o in_o which_o god_n

although_o he_o do_v institute_v the_o night_n before_o a_o remembrance_n of_o his_o death_n under_o the_o sacrament_n of_o bread_n &_o wine_n yet_o he_o make_v not_o at_o that_o time_n the_o

declare_v there_o that_o he_o will_v suffer_v death_n for_o that_o he_o have_v declare_v many_o time_n before_o but_o the_o cause_n be_v that_o there_o he_o ordain_v a_o perpetual_a memory_n of_o

when_o i_o come_v to_o the_o place_n of_o cyprian_n and_o partly_o i_o have_v declare_v already_o in_o my_o other_o book_n and_o tertullian_n prove_v not_o in_o that_o place_n the_o verity_n of_o

that_o christ_n shall_v have_v a_o body_n but_o that_o he_o have_v then_o a_o true_a body_n because_o he_o ordain_v a_o figure_n thereof_o which_o can_v have_v have_v no_o figure_n as_o tertullian_n say_v if_o it_o have_v be_v but_o a_o fantastical_a body_n and_o no_o true_a body_n in_o deed_n wherefore_o this_o which_o you_o say_v in_o answer_v to_o the_o plain_n word_n of_o tertullian_n may_v be_v say_v of_o they_o that_o care_v not_o what_o they_o say_v but_o it_o can_v not_o be_v say_v evident_o that_o be_v speak_v so_o sophistical_o but_o if_o so_o plain_a speech_n of_o tertullian_n say_v you_o that_o christ_n make_v breed_v his_o body_n contain_v no_o more_o certainty_n in_o understanding_n but_o the_o figure_n of_o a_o body_n why_o shall_v not_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n

a_o reverend_a font_n or_o the_o call_n of_o marriage_n reverend_a matrimony_n shall_v conclude_v that_o christ_n be_v corporal_o present_a in_o the_o water_n of_o baptism_n or_o in_o the_o
