which_o thing_n it_o be_v show_v evidentlie_o unto_o we_o that_o nothing_o be_v understand_v in_o that_o meat_n and_o drink_v corporal_o but_o all_o be_v to_o be_v take_v spiritual_o for_o the_o

why_o take_v you_o it_o only_o at_o the_o end_n of_o a_o whole_a year_n as_o the_o grecian_n in_o the_o east_n use_v to_o do_v take_v then_o that_o daily_a which_o will_v be_v profitable_a to_o thou_o

this_o most_o learned_a man_n we_o be_v admonish_v mind_n that_o there_o be_v a_o great_a difference_n between_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n which_o suffer_v and_o his_o blood_n which_o gush_v forth_o out_o of_o his_o side_n on_o the_o cross_n and_o between_o this_o body_n which_o be_v celebrate_v daily_a by_o the_o faithful_a in_o the_o mystery_n of_o the_o lord_n passion_n and_o that_o blood_n which_o be_v take_v by_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o faithful_a see_v it_o be_v the_o mystery_n only_o of_o that_o blood_n wherewith_o the_o whole_a world_n be_v redeem_v that_o bread_n and_o that_o

to_o that_o flesh_n which_o be_v crucify_v and_o that_o blood_n which_o be_v shed_v by_o the_o soldier_n lance._n it_o be_v not_o then_o by_o a_o small_a difference_n that_o he_o make_v such_o a_o

which_o be_v crucify_v and_o that_o blood_n which_o be_v shed_v by_o the_o soldier_n lance_n be_v not_o spiritual_a he_o insinuate_v thus_o much_o that_o there_o be_v great_a difference_n between_o these_o as_o there_o be_v between_o corporal_a thing_n and_o spiritual_a visible_a and_o invisible_a natural_a and_o supernatural_a and_o in_o respect_n that_o they_o differ_v so_o it_o follow_v that_o they_o be_v not_o one_o therefore_o that_o spiritual_a flesh_n which_o be_v take_v by_o the_o faithful_a only_o and_o that_o spiritual_a drink_n which_o be_v exhibit_v unto_o the_o believer_n

proceed_v from_o the_o vine-grape_n by_o the_o sanctification_n of_o the_o holy_a mystery_n be_v make_v the_o blood_n of_o christ_n not_o visible_o as_o be_v usual_a be_v substantial_a conversion_n

it_o be_v that_o the_o same_o divine_a doctor_n say_v that_o it_o be_v a_o sacrament_n in_o any_o celebration_n when_o the_o action_n be_v so_o perform_v that_o some_o thing_n be_v understand_v to_o
