christ_n himself_o crucify_v for_o as_o in_o our_o bodily_a nourishment_n we_o have_v not_o only_a sustenance_n by_o it_o but_o receive_v into_o our_o body_n the_o substance_n of_o it_o and_o as_o

104.15_o and_o both_o make_v a_o man_n fit_a and_o able_a for_o his_o ordinary_a business_n so_o do_v the_o grace_n of_o christ_n reach_v forth_o in_o this_o ordinance_n strengthen_v the_o soul_n

and_o worthy_a receive_n 24._o quest._n what_o be_v that_o we_o ought_v to_o know_v when_o we_o come_v to_o communicate_v in_o this_o sacrament_n answ._n it_o be_v needful_a for_o we_o to_o know_v
