that_o our_o doctrine_n if_o it_o have_v be_v new_a shall_v ever_o have_v come_v in_o in_o any_o age_n and_o be_v receive_v in_o the_o church_n and_o consequent_o it_o must_v of_o necessity_n have_v

ground_v himself_o upon_o this_o principle_n that_o the_o substance_n of_o bread_n be_v change_v and_o the_o outward_a appearance_n only_o remain_v he_o can_v not_o conceive_v how_o his_o adversary_n
