blood_n be_v eat_v and_o drink_v by_o we_o and_o convert_v after_o the_o ordinary_a way_n of_o digestion_n into_o our_o bodily_a substance_n we_o have_v this_o assurance_n in_o his_o holy_a word_n

believe_v this_o to_o be_v one_o of_o the_o fundamental_a truth_n of_o the_o gospel_n that_o christ_n die_v for_o our_o sin_n that_o he_o appear_v once_o in_o the_o day_n of_o his_o flesh_n to_o put_v away_o sin_n by_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o himself_o and_o that_o at_o his_o ascension_n he_o enter_v in_o his_o humane_a nature_n into_o the_o holy_a place_n have_v obtain_v eternal_a redemption_n for_o we_o my_o faith_n grow_v strong_a yet_o when_o i_o receive_v the_o sacred_a symbol_n into_o my_o hand_n and_o convey_v they_o to_o my_o mouth_n for_o then_o if_o i_o come_v with_o a_o due_a
