of_o almighty_a god_n who_o provide_v for_o our_o soul_n such_o convenient_a meat_n especial_o the_o external_a form_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n invitinge_v we_o to_o come_v secure_o to_o this_o sacred_a table_n three_o the_o infinite_a abundance_n of_o his_o divine_a goodness_n whereby_o he_o offer_v unto_o we_o this_o heavenly_a food_n with_o such_o exceedinge_n cheerfulness_n and_o

commit_n of_o venial_a sin_n we_o be_v disable_v from_o taste_v the_o sweetness_n of_o the_o b._n sacrament_n let_v we_o therefore_o fly_v from_o sin_n as_o from_o a_o most_o infectious_a pestilence_n and_o humble_o crave_v of_o almighty_a god_n that_o it_o will_v please_v he_o to_o give_v we_o such_o a_o will_n and_o desire_n that_o rather_o we_o may_v choose_v to_o suffer_v any_o cruel_a death_n
