that_o he_o be_v content_a to_o suffer_v all_o these_o extremity_n for_o we_o his_o sorrow_n for_o the_o misery_n we_o be_v in_o can_v be_v no_o less_o but_o must_v every_o way_n be_v answerable_a

that_o according_a to_o this_o knowledge_n &_o apprehension_n his_o sorrow_n shall_v be_v strain_v and_o intend_v the_o last_o point_n be_v the_o duration_n of_o his_o pain_n or_o how_o long_o he_o

the_o suffering_n of_o christ_n be_v only_o temporary_a and_o not_o eternal_a how_o have_v he_o suffer_v and_o satisfy_v sufficient_o for_o sin_n for_o time_n hold_v no_o proportion_n with_o

not_o this_o a_o manifest_a contradiction_n if_o you_o say_v he_o be_v passable_a in_o the_o sacrament_n but_o after_o a_o impassable_a manner_n you_o shall_v pardon_v we_o if_o we_o answer_v it_o with_o no_o other_o than_o laughter_n for_o it_o be_v as_o if_o you_o shall_v say_v the_o crow_n be_v black_a after_o a_o white_a manner_n or_o that_o the_o world_n be_v square_a after_o a_o round_a

yet_o you_o say_v that_o in_o the_o sacrament_n the_o accident_n of_o bread_n be_v in_o no_o subject_n but_o for_o a_o accident_n to_o be_v and_o not_o to_o be_v be_v a_o contradiction_n for_o not_o
