because_o as_o the_o thing_n be_v great_a so_o they_o require_v a_o suitable_a carriage_n not_o a_o common_a carriage_n we_o profane_v the_o sacrament_n if_o we_o take_v the_o bread_n and_o wine_n

come_v without_o repentance_n what_o say_v the_o apostle_n for_o this_o cause_n because_o you_o come_v unreverent_o to_o the_o thing_n of_o god_n some_o be_v sick_a and_o some_o weak_a and_o some_o

by_o he_o all_o first_o then_o we_o hold_v tune_n with_o the_o bless_a angel_n in_o give_v glory_n to_o god_n when_o we_o exalt_v god_n in_o our_o soul_n above_o all_o creature_n and_o thing_n in_o
