but_o we_o must_v here_o take_v notice_n of_o two_o thing_n the_o first_o be_v that_o the_o ancient_a custom_n of_o this_o monastery_n do_v plain_o show_v that_o when_o this_o congregation_n be_v

of_o the_o three_o the_o second_o be_v that_o though_o odo_n may_v have_v entertain_v this_o opinion_n of_o paschasius_fw-la concern_v the_o carnal_a presence_n of_o jesus_n christ_n yet_o we_o may_v easy_o observe_v that_o he_o never_o own_v the_o consequence_n of_o it_o for_o we_o find_v in_o the_o relation_n of_o the_o death_n of_o this_o odo_n who_o die_v at_o rome_n in_o the_o year_n 942_o that_o he_o receive_v the_o eucharist_n but_o there_o be_v no_o mention_n make_v of_o any_o adoration_n that_o he_o pay_v at_o his_o receive_n it_o 2._o we_o be_v to_o observe_v that_o in_o this_o description_n of_o odo_n departure_n which_o be_v make_v by_o one_o of_o his_o disciple_n we_o meet_v with_o neither_o confession_n before_o the_o receive_n of_o the_o eucharist_n nor_o the_o
