corpus_fw-la meum_fw-la here_o be_v my_o body_n the_o second_o manner_n be_v acknowledge_v by_o english_a protestant_n to_o be_v whole_o impossible_a as_o imply_v a_o manife_a contradiction_n that_o it_o shall_v be_v bread_n and_o not_o bread_n the_o body_n of_o christ_n and_o not_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n the_o three_o be_v the_o true_a catholic_a doctrine_n and_o be_v call_v by_o the_o

not_o after_o a_o natural_a corporeal_a extensive_a manner_n because_o it_o be_v neither_o visible_a nor_o palpable_a but_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o the_o same_o substantial_a body_n may_v be_v real_o

from_o be_v visible_a palpable_a and_o heavy_a and_o can_v make_v it_o so_o spiritual_a as_o to_o pass_v from_o his_o virgin_n mother_n womb_n without_o breach_n of_o her_o virginity_n and_o through_o

though_o this_o presence_n can_v be_v call_v spiritual_a in_o a_o strict_a sense_n yet_o may_v it_o be_v so_o call_v in_o that_o sense_n which_o st._n paul_n use_v when_o he_o tell_v we_o that_o the_o
