blood_n of_o christ_n be_v under_o the_o form_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n or_o else_o you_o will_v come_v short_a of_o your_o sacrifice_n phil._n that_o be_v plain_a by_o the_o word_n of_o christ_n

christ_n be_v under_o the_o appearance_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n orthod._n the_o word_n of_o our_o saviour_n be_v most_o true_a in_o that_o sense_n wherein_o he_o mean_v they_o but_o it_o be_v his_o

circumcise_v the_o foreskin_n of_o your_o flesh_n and_o it_o shall_v be_v a_o sign_n of_o the_o covenant_n between_o i_o and_o you_o therefore_o circumcision_n be_v call_v the_o covenant_n because_o
