yet_o they_o be_v very_o real_a and_o therefore_o we_o think_v it_o fit_a to_o expect_v they_o in_o a_o spiritual_a manner_n especial_o since_o our_o lord_n have_v tell_v we_o it_o be_v the_o spirit_n

we_o his_o flesh_n to_o eat_v john_n vi_fw-la 53._o prot._n we_o have_v good_a authority_n of_o scripture_n for_o this_o viz_o 1_o cor._n x._o 3_o 4_o where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o israelite_n have_v the_o privilege_n by_o certain_a sign_n to_o eat_v and_o drink_v into_o christ_n as_o well_o as_o we_o in_o a_o mystical_a way_n for_o they_o do_v all_o eat_v of_o the_o same_o spiritual_a

spiritual_a meat_n and_o drink_v which_o they_o have_v yet_o it_o be_v the_o same_o with_o we_o and_o therefore_o we_o must_v be_v spiritual_a meat_n and_o drink_v too_o again_o we_o be_v not_o say_v

you_o do_v but_o prevaricate_v when_o you_o pretend_v to_o believe_v christ_n be_v real_o present_a in_o the_o sacrament_n for_o if_o you_o true_o believe_v this_o you_o will_v give_v divine_a
