with_o greediness_n yet_o lvi_o i_o believe_v that_o sin_n be_v not_o prompt_v to_o they_o nor_o force_v on_o they_o by_o god_n but_o by_o the_o suggestion_n of_o the_o devil_n and_o corruption_n of_o

it_o why_o have_v thou_o make_v i_o thus_o we_o be_v all_o in_o god_n power_n as_o the_o clay_n in_o the_o potter_n hand_n fit_a to_o be_v make_v vessel_n to_o such_o use_n and_o service_n as_o our_o

it_o must_v be_v administer_v and_o receive_v in_o both_o kind_n aswell_o to_o signify_v our_o perfect_a nourishment_n as_o to_o refresh_v in_o our_o memory_n the_o torment_n of_o christ_n flesh_n and_o the_o effusion_n of_o his_o blood_n i_o esteem_v then_o the_o denial_n of_o the_o cup_n a_o sacrilegious_a mutilation_n of_o the_o sacrament_n and_o a_o dangerous_a diminution_n of_o its_o
