but_o now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o his_o second_o argument_n which_o be_v this_o rodon_n 2._o jesus_n christ_n say_v he_o that_o eat_v my_o flesh_n and_o drink_v my_o blood_n have_v eternal_a life_n

i_o answer_v deny_v mr._n the_o rodon_n supposition_n viz._n that_o the_o soul_n eat_v spiritual_o by_o faith_n for_o faith_n be_v no_o mouth_n of_o the_o soul_n in_o any_o sense_n as_o i_o prove_v before_o and_o nothing_o be_v able_a to_o eat_v proper_o or_o improper_o without_o a_o proper_a or_o improper_a mouth_n it_o follow_v that_o the_o soul_n can_v eat_v by_o the_o mouth_n of_o faith_n beside_o the_o angel_n do_v eat_v of_o this_o celestial_a food_n not_o with_o the_o mouth_n of_o faith_n for_o there_o be_v no_o faith_n in_o heaven_n but_o a_o clear_a vision_n therefore_o the_o
