a_o mere_a imagination_n of_o for_o the_o promise_n wherein_o jesus_n christ_n offer_v unto_o we_o his_o body_n and_o blood_n under_o the_o sign_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n appertain_v to_o none_o else_o as_o have_v be_v already_o prove_v but_o only_a unto_o the_o faithful_a that_o receive_v the_o same_o by_o faith_n in_o the_o lawful_a communion_n of_o the_o euchariste_n celebrate_v the_o

that_o jesus_n christ_n promise_v we_o to_o give_v we_o his_o body_n in_o the_o sacrament_n when_o the_o faithful_a shall_v communicate_v together_o after_o his_o institution_n we_o may_v not_o be_v

the_o people_n shall_v be_v kind_n permit_v to_o communicate_v and_o yet_o it_o be_v but_o of_o one_o moiety_n only_o of_o the_o sacrament_n wherein_o likewise_o they_o intermingle_v many_o fond_a

the_o institution_n of_o our_o lord_n in_o the_o sacrament_n they_o shall_v invite_v the_o people_n and_o break_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n after_o his_o example_n it_o shall_v be_v true_o give_v
