this_o supper_n some_o call_v it_o a_o parable_n of_o the_o incarnation_n life_n and_o death_n of_o christ_n and_o thus_o s._n matthew_n seem_v to_o take_v it_o calling_z it_o a_o dinner_n as_o to_o the_o church_n militant_a and_o a_o supper_n to_o the_o church_n triumphant_a other_o apply_v this_o parable_n unto_o the_o bless_a sacrament_n and_o those_o make_v god_n the_o father_n master_n of_o this_o feast_n his_o sacred_a son_n the_o feast_n itself_o make_v of_o his_o bless_a body_n and_o blood_n and_o in_o favour_n of_o this_o opinion_n the_o holy_a church_n at_o this_o time_n read_v this_o gospel_n as_o allude_v to_o the_o flow_a feast_n of_o corpus_fw-la christi_fw-la but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o the_o literal_a sense_n of_o this_o gospel_n allude_v to_o the_o last_o supper_n of_o heavenly_a glory_n for_o that_o be_v the_o true_a supper_n which_o end_v the_o laborious_a day_n time_n and_o begin_v eternal_a rest_n that_o never_o shall_v have_v end_n so_o though_o many_o may_v be_v cast_v out_o of_o door_n after_o the_o dinner_n of_o the_o church_n militant_a yet_o none_o can_v be_v cast_v out_o after_o they_o once_o enter_v to_o this_o triumphant_a supper_n and_o for_o that_o cause_n the_o most_o genuine_a sense_n of_o this_o place_n allude_v as_o s._n gregory_n say_v hom_n 36._o to_o the_o society_n of_o eternal_a sweetness_n and_o glory_n where_o note_v
