in_o the_o low_a can_v be_v contradict_v in_o the_o high_a and_o therefore_o whatever_o be_v pretend_v in_o the_o high_a can_v be_v true_a there_o if_o it_o be_v just_o deny_v in_o the_o low_a now_o it_o be_v easy_a to_o show_v this_o notion_n of_o carnal_a transubstantiation_n must_v be_v false_a in_o all_o the_o judgement_n of_o our_o faculty_n but_o i_o shall_v only_o instance_n in_o sense_n
