the_o invisible_a might_n this_o mystery_n be_v a_o pledge_n and_o a_o figure_n christ_n body_n be_v truth_n itself_o this_o pledge_n we_o do_v keep_v mystical_o until_o that_o we_o be_v come_v unto_o

turn_v through_o invisible_a might_n that_o bread_n to_o his_o own_o body_n and_o that_o wine_n to_o his_o own_o blood_n as_o he_o before_o do_v in_o the_o wilderness_n before_o that_o he_o be_v

do_v eat_v that_o heavenly_a bread_n and_o they_o die_v not_o that_o everlasting_a death_n though_o they_o die_v the_o common_a death_n they_o see_v that_o that_o heavenly_a meat_n be_v visible_a

my_o blood_n have_v everlasting_a life_n now_o he_o bid_v they_o not_o eat_v that_o body_n wherewith_o he_o be_v enclose_v nor_o drink_v that_o blood_n which_o he_o shed_v for_o we_o but_o he_o mean_v by_o these_o word_n that_o holy_a housel_n which_o ghostly_a be_v his_o body_n and_o his_o blood_n and_o he_o that_o taste_v it_o with_o a_o believe_a heart_n have_v that_o eternal_a life_n in_o the_o

the_o mystery_n of_o the_o holy_a housel_n therefore_o we_o ought_v to_o consider_v diligent_o how_o that_o this_o holy_a housel_n be_v both_o christ_n body_n and_o the_o body_n of_o all_o faithful_a

many_o be_v one_o bread_n and_o one_o body_n in_o christ_n he_o be_v our_o head_n and_o we_o be_v his_o limb_n and_o as_o the_o bread_n be_v not_o of_o one_o corn_n but_o of_o many_o nor_o the_o

we_o will_v before_o have_v entreat_v of_o the_o lamb_n which_o the_o old_a israelite_n offer_v at_o their_o easter_n time_n but_o that_o we_o desire_v first_o to_o declare_v unto_o you_o of_o this_o

even_o as_o god_n have_v command_v they_o with_o unleavened_a bread_n and_o wild_a lettuice_n so_o shall_v we_o receive_v that_o holy_a housell_n of_o christ_n body_n and_o blood_n without_o the_o

and_o the_o apostle_n have_v teach_v how_o we_o shall_v feast_v not_o in_o the_o leaven_n of_o evilnesse_n but_o in_o the_o sweet_a dough_n of_o purity_n and_o truth_n iii_o the_o herb_n which_o

if_o we_o will_v eat_v christ_n body_n four_o those_o israelite_n be_v not_o wont_a to_o eat_v raw_a flesh_n and_o therefore_o god_n bid_v they_o to_o eat_v it_o neither_o raw_a nor_o sodden_a in_o
