to_o the_o tenor_n of_o the_o word_n in_o the_o sacrament_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o sacrament_n itself_o can_v be_v a_o unprofitable_a thing_n for_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n be_v fill_v with_o the_o godhead_n if_o therefore_o god_n be_v nothing_o worth_a then_o also_o be_v the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n of_o no_o value_n when_o that_o flesh_n of_o christ_n walk_v on_o the_o earth_n it_o do_v good_a to_o all_o that_o it_o do_v but_o touch_n never_o so_o little_a by_o reason_n of_o the_o godhead_n that_o dwell_v in_o it_o how_o can_v it_o be_v then_o that_o it_o shall_v do_v no_o good_a in_o the_o sacrament_n since_o it_o be_v the_o same_o flesh_n of_o christ_n in_o union_n with_o the_o same_o divinity_n it_o be_v also_o the_o same_o word_n of_o god_n of_o the_o same_o nature_n and_o force_n now_o as_o ever_o it_o be_v but_o take_v notice_n that_o christ_n in_o this_o sacrament_n give_v we_o not_o his_o body_n alone_o but_o his_o blood_n too_o as_o in_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n there_o be_v a_o sacrifice_n to_o be_v slay_v and_o moreover_o a_o cleanse_n by_o blood_n so_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n be_v the_o sacrifice_n and_o his_o

as_o when_o moses_n have_v read_v all_o the_o law_n he_o take_v the_o blood_n of_o the_o calf_n and_o therewith_o sprinkle_v the_o people_n say_v 24._o exod._n 24._o behold_v the_o blood_n of_o the_o

i_o brother_n the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o church_n be_v not_o found_v on_o our_o worthiness_n or_o unworthiness_n but_o upon_o the_o word_n of_o god_n whatever_o the_o minister_n or_o the_o
